BellaOnline Forums Home and Garden Container Gardening What is NOT good about Container Gardening?

I also used to keep a worm box on the counter to help compost plant-based kitchen scraps.

Hi Connie and all,

Growing little people is such a huge responsibility in life - and not all are lucky enough to be able to do so whether parent or teacher.

Still Connie, using earthworms to teach 'baby' gardeners is so great. When I was at school we didn't do gardening as they do today, more's the pity, and my introduction to earthworms was in our science class when we learnt about them by dissecting them, not live thank heavens.

I was never able to go fishing with my friends and family because I simply refused to be part of using live worms for bait. Sissy I was called then and sissy I remain.

Cheers now

It is fun to watch the little rascals increase in numbers. Then, you need to put some out or split the worm box into two boxes.

Hi Connie,

That is one of the nicer things I use to love about school days - getting involved in lessons and life learning with real things that made sense when a smart teacher spoke to the subject and didn't lecture only with boring notes and text books.

Ah - school days are some of the best days for sure. I remember them fondly. Pity I didn't listen as much as I could have!

I am just sorry that we were not taught about gardening then, or maybe I was just asleep and missed it all.

Cheers
