what do worms have incomin with caterpillars?
We have been vermicomposting since I was a kid, thanks to my uncle. I always thought my uncle’s ideas were weird and gross. But in middle school, it was one of the things that were taught to us. We had found a lot of worms in school because it’s located in the heart of an agricultural area.
