First of all, I have not been able to get that Dumb and Dumber scene out of my mind where either Lloyd or Harry (i forget) share about their dream business and open the conversation by saying something along the lines to “We’ve got worms”. Well, my wife and I are not Lloyd and Harry (even though many people have thought I look like a love child of Jeff Daniels and Matthew Perry… how that would work I don’t know.), but we have just gotten our first batch of composting earthworms.
Today, I went to meet with one of the foremost professors and practitioners of Natural Farming and Thailand’s foremost expert on Vermipost. Vermipost, for those unfamiliar with it is a method of using earth worms to make compost, which is markets as “worm castings”.
Anyway. I had a meeting with him today and took a tour of our worm farm and worm testing lab. It was Great! And at the end of the meeting I went home with 1 kilogras (about 2.2 pounds) of lively dancing earth worms.
My wife and I head back to the village soon and can’t wait to give these little guys (and girls) their own little vermi-condo to live in.
Pictures are on there way. And I will describe the why and how of what we are learning about vermipost. But for now, I need to get to bed.
I just did not want anyone to be left hanging there thinking my wife and I have tape worm or some other nasty tropical critter living inside us. So just to make the record clear. My wife and I are now new stewards of a kilo of earth worms.
We pray that these worms and the micro-organism rich soil they create can help to revitalize the soil in our village, which is pretty much dying or dead in many areas due to chemical pesticides.
Pictures are still forth coming. Please bare with us. We are new to this
