Organically Improving Your Soil with Vermiculture Maybe you've never heard the term vermiculture, if so don't feel bad, many experienced gardeners are unfamiliar with this organic practice. I think vermiculture is fascinating; simply put it's the process of composting kitchen waste with earthworms. We're not talking about common night crawlers, but special varieties of worms such as red worms, and red wigglers.Okay, I'll admit to owning an ant farm when I was a kid, but this is so much more practical. Vermiculture, or vermicomposting as its also known is more like beekeeping; yes I've given that a try too. But just imagine for a second, you feed the worms your leftover garbage and kitchen scraps. The worms then quickly eat all those leftovers, sparing you the hassles of taking out the garbage.And here's the best part, while the composting worms are disposing of your garbage, they're also producing a terrific organic fertilizer and soil conditioner called earthworm castings. Well, okay... the term earthworm casting is just a nice name for earthworm excrement. I don't know who thought up the name earthworm castings, but I guess it makes sense if you think it...more
