Poor Girl’s Garden, Part XI, (March 20, 2010), Growing Potatoes & Raising Slick Squirmy Worms
Posted on June 26th, 2010 by admin
Scenario: The stores are closed for an unknown amount of time and I have to grow a garden with what I have available to me at home and on my land. Since I wasnt prepared to grow a garden for food, I am attempting to grow Red Potatoes inside of two doubled Brown Paper Grocery Bags. I doubled the grocery bags, filled one side with swamp dirt and planted a Red Potato Seed. The other half of the bag is moist shredded paper bag. I added two fishing worms. Partially composted moist leaves cover the entire top. I set the doubled brown paper bags inside of two white plastic kitchen garbage bags for added support. Also, I started two small indoor worm bins for compost. Inide of two clear plastic bins(shoebox size) I laid a moist bedding of shredded brown paper bag and leaves. In one corner I placed minced and small slices of potato and bread for worm food. The worms should eat the contents in the soil such as old leaves, and ground up dead wood. The worms have grown in the last two days, one worm is a foot long! To keep the worms alive, I plan to keep the worms moist at all times and well fed with fresh bedding as needed. For sure, I never thought I would say that worms are amazing! Yesterday, I put some worms in containers vegie plants to loosen the soil which is compacted swamp soil with clumps. Hmmm, Im not sure what kind of fishing worms these are. Tomorrow I’ll search worm images online. ~ Worm Anatomy ~ It takes a lot of work to get where I want to go. I don’t move very quickly, but think about how fast you would go if you had to slide around on your tummy. I use some of my muscles and my setae (bristles, remember). My setae act like the brakes on a car, helping me to slow down or stop. I have muscles that go in circles around my body and other muscles that run the length of my body. This movement by my circular muscles squeezes my front end forward. My other long muscles squeeze together and help move the rear end of my body towards the front end. So this is how I move forwards and backwards. I take in oxygen through my skin and it goes right into my bloodstream. My skin must stay wet in order for the oxygen to pass through it, but if I am in too much water I will drown. Just keep me damp, moist and slimy. Although if the water has lots of air in it, I can stay under for a long time. I have five hearts! All of these hearts pump blood through my blood vessels just like your one heart.

It was a beautiful Spring day & I was out Livin the Dream with The Hewk (Mark Hewkin) After LIMITING OUT on JUMBO Perch in less than a hour out in the deep water, The Hewk wanted to try for some Brown Trout at the warm water discharge. We were able to get 4 nice Brown Trout(Salmo trutta morpha fario and S. trutta morpha lacustris), 1 Coho Salmon(Oncorhynchus kisutch), 2 huge American Shad(A. sapidissima) & a Northern Hog Sucker(Hypentelium nigricans) in the boat in a couple hours.
