For all you worm farmers or potential worm farmers out there, today’s farming tip is for you.  Courtesy of Worm Farming, a helpful tip on feeding your worms.

• Not all vegetables or food scraps make good food for your worms either. Strong foods like onion, garlic, and hot peppers are not as readily welcomed. If the worms don’t want to eat them, they’ll eat everything else first. That leaves a smell to your worm bin, which can ruin your new adventure really fast! It’s not like your own mom making you eat all your vegetables when you were little. These are not children and shouldn’t be tortured to endure foods they don’t want. If you feed an animal something that isn’t good for it or that it doesn’t like the taste of, it can starve itself to death and will just end up resenting you or trying to escape to get to the better food source.

Worms are not children & shouldn’t be tortured or they might end up resenting you & trying to escape?  I wonder if they might also end up writing a tell all book blaming you for all the issues in their life & go on Oprah to air their dirty laundry before the whole world.  And I wonder if ramming a fishhook up one end of the worm & forcing it out the other is considered torture.  But I digress.  Happy farming.
