Thank you for the informative reply. I find it fascinating what folks around the nation are doing to grow better food. Those vermiculture beds are enormous! Makes my tiny plastic totes seem miniscule, but we are on a city lot. – MG

Here on the East Coast most people have never heard of vermiculture. Moving from the West Coast five years ago where we used a composting bin for many years prior to our move here, we continue our recycling efforts on behalf of Mother Nature.

We had always wanted to put in a vermiculture farm, so save all the material we had gathered on the subject prior to our move, knowing we would have use for it someday. Someday has finely arrived. We are in the process of opening a homeless shelter for Veterans and families. The goal is to get them back on their feet and train them in a line of work. One of training programs will be a vermiculture farm. A vermiculture farm is not just a recycle bin. It is a huge 60 feet long by 10 feet wide piece of equipment where the worms are feed tons of food per day and in return, they provide tons of organic soil that does wonders for any garden. It is amazing what those little wiggly red worms can do within a short period of time. The saying goes…garbage in, gold out! The soil can also be made into a tea bag type of system, to soak in water and use for your house plants.

We feel confident our worms will work hard to help us make money to support our Veterans program and facility. We are a non-profit 501(c)(3) and our goal is make a difference in the world, by helping our Veterans, feeding the hungry and helping put them back to work after then have served our country to keep all of us safe in this beautiful country we call home. Our Corporation is called…Angels of Hope, Inc.

In these days of cellpnones on one side and internet blogs on the other, there is no sense in makinng an art of writing letters. If you want communmication – you use the cellphone; if you want to express yourself – you create a blog. That’s the whole of it, and it’s better than waste paper to write unnicessary letters on.

Lovely story! I am pretty muddy, myself. I was cleaning our rain-gutters on the roof when they were over-flowing and flooding our basement. I had a small crowbar in my hand because it was so cold; when the lightning started striking, this science teacher realized she was about to become a lightning rod and threw the iron rod away!
Strawberries are better.

Great story! Thanks for sharing. While reading it, I felt as if I were setting on the patio watching it all unfold. I feel assured the strawberry patch will be a true success this year. After all, you added the most important ingredient of all…love!

Ahhhh, thanks for the mention, Meredith! I actually have fondly thought of you often when I’m in my yard gardening. I think you’re more resilient and I am when it comes to inclement weather gardening.

While I echo your sentiments about writing and receiving letters, your writing is overblown and over wrought. “My own countenance has reacted similarly ….” Your own countenance reacts? You react. Your face/countenance shows your reaction, but it doesn’t actually react.

Consider writing more simply and using the poetic flourishes sparingly. They will make a more lasting impression.
