Today we finalized our seed orders with West Coast Seeds and Salt Spring Seeds (links below)! We are excited to have some seeds on the way. Today we also put half of our vermicomposting worms in to our tower so they can get a head start before the seeds come. We also gave them a healthy dose of food for the next little while and watered our soil again as it's not quite as wet as we need it to be. Our little red wigglers (the worm species best for this process) take any compost we dump in to the tower's centre console and digest the nutrients, while spreading them throughout the tower. This process allows us to reduce our environmental footprint, put some wigglers to work and get some very healthy plants! Also... a little bird mentioned that our second tower might be hopping on a plane soon... Wanna know why you should vermicompost? Check out the video below!
