It is getting cold outside at night and that means it is time to makes the earthworms sleepy. Here is how to make your little dog with no tail earthworm farm ready for earthworm nappy time.
First, stir up all the dirts and add tasty composties to it. That is a fancy word for “feed the earthworms some poop.” Here I am with one of my earthworm farms. Mommy also uses it to grow asparaguses. Growing plants in your earthworm farm keeps the earthworms happy and healthy.
Next, gets a bale of Hey Look at That!…….Ooops, I mean gets a bale of hay.
Then, cover up your earthworm farm with the hay. That gives the earthworms a warm blankey and tells them that it is time to get sleepy. This is one of my other earthworm farms. Mommy also uses it to grow strawberries for me and the birds to eat.
If you can, get a Molly to help you. Although sometimes most of the time they just lay around being lazy.
my mom says we have free range earthworms. i don’t know what that means, but i like to eat the little hills of dirt they leave for me when they come out at night.
Free range earthworms are the best! Daddy picks them up and puts them in my farms sometimes.
Ty, you are a good earthworm farmer! How do you round them up?
Earthworms don’t round up nearly as good as rolly polly bugs do! I round those up with my nose!
That is all very interesting Ty. And a great idea. I might have to get the instructions from you on how to build a earthworm farm. Do you just wait for the earthworms to come get in their bed???
The earthworms automagically appear in the farm after awhile. Plus Daddy put some free range ones in there. I think they likes the farm best because there are tasty vegetables there for them to live under.
