So let’s go over a short list of what to feed worms to supercharge your worm poop and feed your plants! 2 cups rolled oats 1 cup yellow cornmeal 1/2 cup alfalfa meal 1/8 cup dried and powdered eggshells (microwave or bake these first to eliminate the risk of salmonella) 1/8 cup azomite Learn More: What To Feed Worms For Epic Vermicompost Order Field Guide to Urban Gardening My book, Field Guide to Urban Gardening, will be out May 7, 2019.

Fish Fertilizer 101
The idea of fish fertilizer may sound strange. How can fish provide a food source for my plants? But it shouldn’t come as any surprise that like all other natural products, fish can be a great fertilizer. Chock-full of vitamins, amino acids, proteins and more, fish fertilizers are organic. They offer other micronutrients which standard NPK fertilizers lack. Yes, they can have a fishy smell to them, but once diluted, the smell fades quickly. And your plants will love them. You’ll grow to love them too! Interested? Let’s dive into the wonderful world of fish fertilizers and supplements. We’ll discuss the benefits that these can provide to us. I’ve even got a great story from a pro who relates the story of his first experience making some! And even if you don’t want to make it, I can help you find places to buy it in the US and beyond.
