Worms

Worms are so important for the health of our planet and I recently found out that Darwin studied worms for 39 years.

I found this article for you to check out:

If any one heard a story on NPR about someone going and visiting Darwin's farm in England please reply on this thread. I 'd love to see if it is available to listen to online.

Patti,
www.npr.org has a search option, maybe you can find the story there. You can look by topic or narrow it down to the specific program you were listening to. It sounds really interesting.

I assume you've read some of Steve Solomon's work.

And just as important as Darwin is Selman A. Waksman. Some of his work is here.

Sorry I get carried away when you talk soil stuff. Happy reading folks.

Fall is almost here and what you need to do is rake your leaves into the garden and go buy 4 dozen fishing worms at walmart and sprinkle them in. By spring your leaves will be beautiful humus matter to till in to your garden!
