Let's see what worms can do.


One of the coolest features of the Christmas worm farm is that beyond delivering rich, dark, beautiful organic soil, it also produces a fertilizer tea. Using gravity and time, plant-loving worm juice/sweat/whatever makes its way down to a reservoir in the bottom of the farm. Every now and then you just turn the spigot and you've got yourself some delicious fertilizer tea. Then you mix it with some water and feed it to your plants.



I'm going to try an experiment in the stair well garden. One set of plants gets the worm water, and the other gets the regular old water.


And yes, "W" stands for Worm.

  1. I thought W was for water. Why not WW for worm water?
