Optimize your Vegetable Gardening
While in the previous post we discussed “Vegetable Garden Design” as that is my friend’s main topic, what we find very important for any form of gardening and from an ecological aspect down here in Noordhoek, South Africa, is to optimize your Vegetable Garden with Earthworms.
Optimize your Vegetable Gardening
Optimize your Vegetable Gardening not only from a Vegetable Garden Design point of view, but also by recycling your veggie and other kitchen scraps via the earthworm funnel. It takes little time and there are no smells at all… in case you wondered. You just smell Earth… a healthy one. The worms add valuable micro organisms to the soil and improve water holding capacity – very important in dry climates and hot summers. Kids just love the above picture and what it stands for; it’s right next to their playground.
In fact, if you have children, give them the daily job of feeding the worms. It’s simple and easy to do and it teaches them responsibility. I assure you, they will thoroughly enjoy this besides learning a big lesson about the power and wisdom of Nature and how each one of us can help sustain a healthy planet.
