“People are just beginning to realize that the worm is one of the greatest aids to to farming,” Eugster explains. She has herself done comparative growth experiments: raising various plants simultaneously in pure worm castings, and in very rich soil.
Without exception, the plants in the worm castings have done astonishingly well, growing healthy and strong, while the plants in the soil have only done well.
Though rich, worm castings do not have the sometimes overpowering strength of other natural fertilizers, such as horse manure. And when worms are introduced into the soil, they keep it naturally aerated and add to its value.
Worm farming was first practiced extensively out west, and is just now beginning to catch on in this part of the country. Eugster firmly believes in the future of the worm here too, since there is a great deal of interest in gardening and good gardening practices.
