learning to love the magic of worms

What is not love?
They have five hearts, and when it is too cold or too dry, they tie themselves to the sea.
The trouble is that they are red swing worms.
Cathy Nesbit, 47, was once afraid of small animals.
It was before she started working on earthworm compost that she had a dream of dealing with bugs without gloves and feeling calm when she woke up.
Soon after, she found one of their spray balls in her outdoor ad and was able to pick them up.
\"I can almost hear angels singing,\" she said with a smile . \".
Now, she is an advocate for the composting of worms and earthworms, which magically converts organic waste into nitrogen
There are abundant castings in your house.
Nesbit has spoken to about 20,000 students about the red swing, participated in consumer and environmental exhibitions, and held workshops to promote the word.
Her mantra: \"Every family needs a pound of bugs.
She explained: \"A household produces about one ton of organic waste per year;
Wiglers eat only half their weight a day, and within a year they and their offspring can convert a ton of material into \"black gold\", weighing from 800 to 1,000.
\"Since 2002, Nesbit and her husband Rick have been running Cathy\'s clumsy comedy poster, which began shortly after her epiphany.
They raise worms, sell worms and their castings, as well as comedy posters, starter kits, worm books and other utensils.
The headquarters is in their house, a small aluminum.
Double sided bungalow in Bradford, northern Toronto.
Worms live on a farm near Beaton.
Their gardens are illuminated by a range of different sizes of milk and juice cartons that are washed and dried upside down.
They are perfect for packing worms and castings, as well as churches and 40-
Members of the Toronto Women\'s Choir continued to supply Nesbitts.
Cathy Nesbit\'s enthusiasm is contagious.
She interrupted her story with charming laughter, turning seemingly unfortunate things into positive steps to achieve her life\'s mission.
She wears a bug around her neck.
Like a segmented copper necklace, it twists and maintains its shape. (
The children at school like it very much. )
Business was slow at first.
\"Worms eat better than we did in the first three years,\" Nesbit said . \".
Now they sell about 1,500 pounds. 680 kilos)
About $45 per pound of worms per year, along with 500 combined posters, from $40 starter kit to $150 worm cottage to individuals, schools, businesses and municipalities.
Composters is a simple bin with drain holes on the bottom.
These models are also easy to make and require more work: the casting must be harvested two or three times a year by emptying the box, worms and everything, placed on a waterproof cloth, or attract them from one side to the other.
Now Nesbit offers upscale worm Cottage, a three
There is a twisted plastic structure at the bottom of the socket for discharging \"worm juice \".
\"Worms start from lower pallets, after the materials are processed, they consume shredded paper bedding, in order to extract nutrients, vegetables and their own castings go up to seven times-they go into the next layer.
This cottage is perfect for pampered people.
\"Once you increase your initial level and move on, you don\'t have to use your hands anymore,\" she explains. She was surprised to find her bugs eating some of the old carrots she threw in. (
Although Nesbit doesn\'t always have time to do it, she suggests chopping up leftovers. )
Ironically, more than a decade ago, after she designed a comedian for a teacher friend in the summer, she vowed never to bug: \"I don\'t like it.
It was a disaster.
I live in a house of fruit flies. \" (
To avoid fruit flies, rinse the food residue off before putting it into compost and covering them with bedding.
Flies hatch from eggs that come into your home with fruit. )
Nesbit has always been an avid gardener and environmental activist who will bring food scraps from the Toronto legal office, first where she served as a legal secretary and then a collective family, she found a job after earning a degree in psychology in 2000.
At that time, she urged the employer to compost in the collective residence and, despite her antipathy, she began to explore earthworm farming.
Her next stop is to work with a special person.
The local school board needed a boy, but he kicked her and severely damaged her finger and she lost her nerves.
What should I do next?
By that time, she had gone through her worm conversion;
She decided to do the Earthworm farming business.
But, it\'s not just worms, which, by the way, can survive outdoors and sleep in a compost pile or a dung pile.
\"I think my message is, of course, to get things like worms and environments, but, I say to people, take risks.
I find there are too many people living in safe places. \"-
