Worm Man's Worm Farm

2009 was one of the worst years of my life.  I spent New Year’s Eve and the first day of 2009 living in my unheated and non- insulated shed. I had a fight with my wife on New Year’s Eve and left the house instead of fighting.  Three days later my dog died.  Two days after that my wife’s van died.  The nation’s economy hit the skids and my business started the long road down. Bad news started on day one of 2009 and didn’t start to turn around until about November.  I know…too much information. “TMI” as my kids say.

I type this today as I sit in my house next to a roaring fire and a loving wife. My kids are playing nicely in the other room and all is well in 2010 so far.  I hope this is a taste of what 2010 will be like.   We have a new dog too.

I am working on some videos concerning different facets of my business.  I’m also working on some cool videos about things like step by step growing guides for bugs.

I’ve also started some work on videos for things like growing orange trees from seed and that sort of thing.  Not really our normal stuff but stuff that I find fun none the less.

I’m going to start a video tomorrow where we take three different types of composting worms and place them in containers with the same bedding and food and we will check on them weekly for a month and then I’ll count the eggs and baby worms in each container to see how many we get per container.  I’ think I’m going to us 25 worms in each container.

I may also do this with mealworms to see exactly how many worms a mealworm beetle actually makes.  That should be fun.

Have any ideas for videos or projects?  Post those here and if we pick your idea to make a movie or a project out of you will win free worms or beneficial insects of your choice.

Have a great 2010 and thanks for reading my blog.
