The Way of the Worm

Worm composting might just be one of nature's best kept secrets. Did you know that certain types of worms can break down your organic waste matter into all natural nutrient rich fertilizer? I didn't....that is not until I met Morgan Martin aka "The Highlander." I met Morgan almost two years ago, and my life was never the same. He immediately schooled me on "the way of the worm," demonstrating to me how God has provided us with little red wiggler worms that work together with micro-organisms to transfrom our waste into "black gold" that can improve the quality and taste of our produce.
Providentially, God brought Julie, aka "the worm girl" to our garden. Ever since, Julie has spear headed our worm composting operation here at 12th and Central. Not before long, the Lord brought Kanti, "The Worm Doctor," to our garden to help us build a thriving environment for our worms. Working with our kids in Chester, we managed to turn an old chester drawer into a thriving worm ecosystem. The key to a healthy worm environment is temperature regulation, that is keeping the worms nice and cool, and giving them lots of food to eat, like paper shreddings, watermelon, and apple cores. I'm constantly amazed at the beautiful things that can happen when communities work together to live in harmony with God's design.
