Episode 12 - Visiting a Worm Farm

17 06 2007

The family and I visited a worm farm, actually it’s a purpose built garage behind a house in the middle of a sub division. But the owner can produce 80 tons of worm castings a year and hundreds of thousands of worms.  If you have visited a local Ace Hardware store in the last few months you may have seen his video playing or seen a bag of Natures Way organic worm fertilizer for sale. That’s him. But first a quick update on the garden. 

IMG_0014 Wow!  it’s only June and I have corn that is 5 feet tall.  Everything is growing like gang busters.  The most surprising has been the Borage. 

I didn’t realize just how big it was going to get and it has taken over the center of one of my 4 ft by 8 ft raised beds.  The leaves are gigantic, but the flowers are an exquisite shade of blue. More about the garden in the next episode.

If you want more information about Natures Way Organics you can visit www.natureswayorganics.com or the MyChicagoGarden website. They even offer a free 1 pound sample. I highly recommend their product and use it in my garden. Oh..I should mention MyChicagoGarden doesn’t have sponsors, so that statement has no money behind it.
