North Texas Organics and Wormery
"Super Dirt", is a quarterly/monthly newsletter, that offers a glimpse into the latest and greatest in worm farming activity, here at North Texas Organics. The articles are often written about our involvement in various seminars and other community outreach programs intended to inform and enlighten the farming and gardening community here in North Central Texas. Presently, operations are housed in a single open air barn, with 8- 4 X 8 ft bins of red wigglers, munching and multiplying, as they churn out nature's best black gold soil sub-straight. Two brothers handle the day to day operations of sifting compost, feeding worms, separating castings, and then bagging various blends thereof. The minimalist structure has already been visited by a Texas Master Gardeners Association representative, with visitation requests pouring in. All of our products are on their way to being certified organic. Sustainability, renewable production methodology and other conservational directives lay at our core values. The upcoming issues plan to keep you informed about all of our activities, and to provide any interested- detailed instructions for handling worms, castings, teas, and other fertilizers.

Lavender Ridge Fall Festival.
Well, recent rains weren't enough to keep anyone home, including our earthworm brethren. *Ever wonder why heavy rains "bring out the earthworms?" They simply need to breathe. They actually begin the migration to the surface well before the rains actually begin. Our worms are under cover, and yet before a rainfall we'll see them climbing up the sides on the bins. So, start you worm bin today, and see how much more accurate they are compared to your local weather man.
The recent heavy rains however, were no match for the free admission, free parking, and even door prizes as the over 1000 visitors proved by meandering among more than a score of vendors offering a wide range of antiques, Lavender Farm's own selection of plants, and for the first time ever our very own, "North Texas Organics" booth, where we offered our selection of vermicomposting supplies and other organic fertilizers. A sincere Thank You to all of you off-seasoned gardeners that stopped by. We hope to see you again for early Spring garden prep.
