Hey everyone, I'm Santos. I grow in zone 6b, Pennsylvania, natural farming style. I tried worm farming once before and lost them all — my bedding was too dry and I didn't know how to take care of them yet. This time I'm starting small: a medium tote and a couple dozen red wigglers, with the bedding prepped first like Cherene teaches. I'm here to learn and do it right this time, because castings are a big piece of what I want for my garden and soil life. Also, does Walmart regularly carry red wigglers, or is it hit and miss? And any beginner mistakes I should watch for in the first two weeks?

I created this community to make worm composting, living soil, and healthier plant systems feel less overwhelming and more organized! Check out the classroom tab for a self paced learning system and utilize this community for learning and connecting! Instead of digging through endless comments and videos, I wanted one place where people could: -learn step by step -ask questions -connect with others -grow healthier plants from the soil up Feel free to introduce yourself in the comments! Tell us: - where you’re from - what worms you have (or want) - whether you’re brand new or experienced - what you’re hoping to learn I’ll keep building this space over time with videos, resources, discussions, and live support. If you’re new to worm composting or living soil, welcome! You’re in the right place! :)
