Vermiculture is pretty magical. Think about it, you put your kitchen scraps in a bin with some wiggly worms and before you know it, everything has decomposed into a beautiful soil additive for your garden.
虽然你可能已经习惯了在你的蚯蚓粪里放一些食物残渣,但在上面的视频中,有人决定看看如果你让蚯蚓吃了整个南瓜会发生什么。
In less than 100 seconds, this pumpkin transforms from a beautiful Halloween-worthy gourd into well, dust.
When the hallowed out pumpkin was loaded into this tray, half of the worms were placed inside the pumpkin and the other half were left in the tray. The idea being that the pumpkin would disintegrate from not only the bottom but the inside too.
This video is a sped up 62-day time lapse, and all the movement is from both the worms and other beneficial insects like pill bugs. Something fascinating to note is that while it took this pumpkin 62 days to decompose, it takes nearly twice as long to grow it.
This gives you a good perspective to keep in mind as you’re growing your garden. Harvest and store your vegetables and fruits properly, because all that hard work can decompose quickly, right before your eyes.
