Dig, Plant, Water, RepeatShow Notes
In this episode Janey welcomes Angela to discuss vermicomposting otherwise known as worm composting. They talk about using this method specifically in garden beds - worms are surprisingly smart and giving them space allows them to move to the conditions they need to survive, thrive and give your garden incredible benefits, like improving soil texture, structure and aeration, increasing nutrients and more! Worm castings (worm poop) also contribute to faster plant growth and can prevent plant disease.
Listen to learn how you can add this amazing, natural method to your garden beds!
