Try A New Game -- Feed Worms the Veggies You Don't Like

What's Up?

Worms can be sort of squiggly and icky.  However, worms like and eat vegetables and other items from the yard and the house.   The worms digest the materials and produce wonderful compost ( or poop) for your plants and garden.

So have some fun each day.  Feed the worms vegetables and scraps that are left over.  In several months you will have created, along with the worms, excellent soil material.
