Worm Farm Improved

All things have a purpose on earth, even the little worms that tunnel through it. Mayor Asher Ply Wood helps to guide their purpose with his improved worm farm.

A tool set sat under the tree Christmas morning for Ply Wood. The next day the new tools were put to use as Main House President Dad, Nathaniel Barn Loft and the mayor dug a new hole in a new location for the worms. They set a wood frame they had constructed down into the hole, used plastic to line it and filled it in with plenty of rich dirt. Next, Ply Wood and Autumn Fern hunted for worms.

"Red worms are the composters," said a friend, "Earthworms need more space." The next day the farmers searched for the earth worm that was dropped into the farm. Dad said that they would buy some red worms from a bait shop.

Ply Wood feeds his worms coffee grinds daily. His worms will also enjoy egg shells and other kitchen scraps. So far the purpose of Ply Wood's worms is for his sheer delight.
