It sounds like something out of a science fiction movie. A horror movie, perhaps. Well, that&#8217;s only if you&#8217;re prejudiced against worms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Me, I love those little critters. This week as I weeded the perennial garden I was thrilled to find pockets of red wigglers under the mulch. The soil in our perennial garden was so poor when we moved in that I despaired of ever growing anything. Now, thanks to horse manure, compost and mulch added over the years, the soil is regaining its health. Worms are a sign that your soil is healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A few weeks ago, a fellow by the name of Henry Owen emailed me to share his book on Worm Composting with me. He thought my readers might be interested in the book. I was very busy with a large web writing project, so I put it aside to look at later. &nbsp;Coincidences happen in my life with startling rapidity, and this week, Dave&#8217;s Garden had an assignment for me to write about worm composting&#8230;.so I decided hey, why not, I&#8217;m researching the topic so I might as well read Henry&#8217;s book. I am so glad that I did!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00VCM3214\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B00VCM3214&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=equinartcreat-20&amp;linkId=YCWZIHESRKFLLOFZ\">How to Start a Worm Bin <\/a>is a great guide to starting vermicomposting, or worm composting. Because worms are such an important part of the composting process, you can actually keep a small bin of worms, bedding material and food in your home, and compost all your kitchen scraps cleanly and efficiently. It&#8217;s a great idea for people who lack the space (or time) to build a big compost pile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Henry&#8217;s book is here, on Amazon, and it is well worth the read. He sent me a free copy to read and review. My review is unbiased and based solely on my personal opinion. If you purchase a copy after clicking the link, I receive a small commission from Amazon, which does not affect your price.

I highly recommend you visit his website if the idea of working with worms to create compost intrigues you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Worm compost is especially nutritious for plants. It contains beneficial microbes, as well as many elements including calcium, nitrogen, and phosphate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This weekend, we worked almost exclusively in the raised bed vegetable garden. Compost, compost and more compost&#8230;it really is the best thing to feed your plants.
