Where’d the sandbox go?LOL!
I would call that pic.the field of dreams! You can tell by the clumpy grass in the wasteland pic. that the grass really took off.I would imagine the redworms are able to travel through the ground level and keep adding their magic!

Great looking garden. I will have to learn how to make worm tea to spruce up my yard. Our spring starts at the end of June. I better start getting ready now or I will miss summer. Good work Bentley

WOW! I’ve been trying to beef up a few of my worm bins to be the recruits for my first worm trenches, seeing these pics makes me even more excited to get the trenches started! Now I just have to wait for the 3 feet of snow to melt…Thanks again Bentley

UnbeLIEVable! Gorgeous! Also shows that vegetables in the front yard are FINE and can be beautiful. I mix eggplants into my flower border, put tomatoes behind my magnolia (they can get a little scraggly, so they’re hidden more), and I’ve edged a lot of my beds with everbearing strawberries. Since I never use poisons, I can snack while I garden.

But your yard–wow! ‘Way better than mine. I’ve only been adding vermicompost for a year and a half. I’d better get crackin’.

Thanks for sharing!!!!!!!

The grass is always greener next to the vermicompost trench. 🙂

Thanks for the comments, everyone!

Brenda – no need to buy worms. Just get yourself some “Kong” sunflower seeds – I think they are widely available.

One thing to mention about the two pics – it’s important to note that they were taken at different times of day – so the green pic has the advantage of the sun shining directly on the yard. The other one looks a bit more gray and drab simply because the sun is going down. Definitely a huge difference still – but don’t want to give people the wrong idea here! lol

Where are your buds gonna play croquet now? haha

It’s crazy how your grass appears fluorescent now…how do you think that came about?
