<p>What would you say if I told you there was a MAGIC formula for your plants?   You&#8217;d probably be very interested, and look forward to purchasing all that you could.  After all, how much time and money have you invested in your plants without seeing the results you would like to see?</p>
<p>Good news/Bad news:</p>
<p>The Bad news is that there is NO Magic formula.</p>
<p>That Good news is also that there is NO Magic formula.</p>
<p>The Better news is that you can create this Magic Like grow formula yourself!&#8230;or purchase it if you are so inclined.</p>
<p>You are looking at a working Worm Inn that I have setup in my garage.  Nothing out of the ordinary&#8230;.just a Worm Inn filled with healthy worms (In newspaper and cardboard bedding) that have turned it into a MAGICAL ENVIRONMENT FOR PLANTS.   No sunlight&#8230;no grow lights&#8230;nothing special here at all.</p>
<p>The pictures are natures way of showing us that something &#8220;Magicial&#8221; is happening here.</p>
<p>After seeing these pictures&#8230;do you have any doubt that your plants will not be happy being fed worm castings?</p>

<p>Have you ever tasted an artichoke?   If you have not, you&#8217;ve really missed out on a great tasting vegetable.  Actually, in my household, we call the artichoke a Mayonaisse delivery system&#8230;..because there is always plenty of Mayo for dipping this yummy treat.</p>
<p>Take a look at how HUGE my artichoke plants have grown.  They look more like how healthy plants look at the beginning of summer. <strong> This is normally NOT how plants look in March!</strong>    What is the secret to my HUGE plants?    No secret&#8230;just a mixture of worm castings and neglect. <img src='http://www.thewormdude.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />   It&#8217;s true&#8230;other than applying castings, I&#8217;ve done nothing to these plants.  I didn&#8217;t even water them!   When it rained&#8230;they drank.</p>
<p>Last year we had hundreds of artichokes.  I&#8217;m expecting that many again this year!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So&#8230;.I&#8217;m at the post office this afternoon mailing a Worm Inn and Stand Kit to a customer in Malaysia.</p>
<p>While I&#8217;m completing the customs paperwork in this crowded post office, I hear, &#8220;Anyone in here with the license plate holder that says, THE WORM DUDE&#8221;? </p>
<p>Backstory:  The parking lot at our post office is horribly tight.  LOTS of accidents occur in their lot.  In fact, I was involved in a fender bender there about 6 months ago.</p>
<p>Obviously, my first thought is that this woman backed into my car.  So, I sheeishly turned around and stated, &#8220;That&#8217;s me&#8221;..waiting to hear the bad news.  She then said, The Worm Dude, as in the website, The Worm Dude?  I said, &#8220;That&#8217;s me&#8221;.  She said, don&#8217;t worry, nothing is wrong with your car&#8230;I have some worm questions for you.</p>
<p>I didn&#8217;t know which was the stronger emotion, pride in being recognized, or embarrassment in being recognized. <img src='http://www.thewormdude.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Anyway, I finished my transaction and walked out front and helped this nice lady with her worm questions.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s tough being a celebrity. <img src='http://www.thewormdude.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />   Just kidding!</p>

<p>I bought from you some Alabama Jumpers for my garden at the beginning of my gardening season.  I removed all the plants and now have bare ground.  The jumpers are<strong> <span style="text-decoration: underline;">chock full </span></strong>in my planter box which is approximately 4 x 10 x 1.5&#8242; deep.  I want to know what to put on top?  So far, I bought some straw hay and will layer on the top and was wanting your opinion on if that was enough or what to do.</p>
<p><strong>Hi Kevin,</strong></p>
<p><strong>Great news&#8230;you created an infestation&#8230;.a GOOD one.  It&#8217;s cool to have these active worms coming out by the handful isn&#8217;t it?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Your question is timely as NOW is the best time to prep your dirt for Alabama Jumpers.  Their FAVORITE food is leaf litter, so all you need to do is grab a bunch of leaves from the curb, and throw them on top of your garden bed.  You don&#8217;t even want to mix them in as that can rob your existing plants of much needed nitrogen.  Instead, simply layer the leaves on your beds as deep as you want.  You can&#8217;t have too many leaves.  The fall and winter rains will break down the leaves, and come spring, you will be even MORE chock full of worms.</strong></p>
