Garden Club visits Conn earthworm farm Worms and their castings help reduce need for chemical fertilizers With one photograph By Barbara Armitage This months meeting of the Garden Club brought back memories of my Mom and all four of us kids driving down the road singing at the top of our lungsthe worms crawl in the worms crawl out.. my mom knew every gory song ever written. Singing is one thing but would you eat one? Kellie Bonifer did! Lucky for her this worm turned out to be of the gummy worm variety. While worms are not something you might want on your dinner table they are something that can improve the vegetables you serve on your dinner table and the flowers that decorate it. The Garden Club spent the afternoon at a worm farm owned and operated by Betty and Bill Conn. Betty and Bill explained all the benefits of adding worms or worm castings (worm manure) to both your vegetable and flower gardens. We all need to be concerned about what are putting in our gardens said Betty Conn worms and castings will help you eliminate the need for chemical fertilizers, they help plants fight disease and insects naturally, reduce the need for watering and aerate the soil. Oh yea, and you can fish with them too. If youd like to join the Garden Club or if youd like more information call Barbara Armitage at 270.385.6076 we promise not to make you eat worms.
