earthworms

Worms aren't bugs you say? We beg to differ! These wiggly invertebrates may not be arthropods but they are still buggos in our hearts. Plus they’re big on hugs!

When glaciers pushed south into what is now the U.S. around 20,000 years ago, they scraped off the soil layer and spelled the end of native earthworms except in the southern states. So the earthworm plucked by the robin in the park or on your lawn is probably a relatively new arrival, most likely a species Europeans conveyed to the Americas in plant soil or the ballast of ships.

This American Robin has caterpillars and an earthworm in its beak. But which food source is the real prize? Everyday earthworms are higher in protein than beef or chicken. You’d have to eat about a pound of soybeans to equal the protein in just three ounces of earthworms. They’re also high in calcium and easy to catch, compared to crickets or butterflies. Put all that together and you have a superfood for birds — especially the youngsters.

Pinkie and Mildred talk about the life in soil !

Ok, not locusts — cicadas! If you’re in much of the eastern part of the United States these days, you’ve probably had the mixed blessing of dodging them, stepping on them, listening to them, and sticking their shells to your nose or eyebrows. Poems by Sophia Rivkin, Mary Azrael and Barbara Crooker. 

On this episode, we're talking about an animal that is oftentimes overlooked, but plays an important role in our ecosystem. If you like dirt, you’re in luck, because these animals spend most of their time underground. So, get ready to go searching in the soil to talk about a gardener’s best friend: earthworms.

A Sweet, Kind, Engaging Weekday Podcast for Children of All Ages. A 10 minute educational conversation between Pinkie The Pig & Mildred the Cow.This Episode: Earthworms

http://PinkieThePigPodcast.com

Charles Darwin called earthworms 'nature's ploughs' and wrote his final (and most popular) book about them. Our very own Dave Dave - musician and philosopher - has a radical theory about who's really calling the tune on Planet Earth, and it's not us humans. 

The only university that makes you chuckle AND learn at the same time.

In this episode, we follow up on a whole bunch of projects from previous episodes.  How did our refurbished cast iron cookware hold up over time?  How is the vermiculture (composting with earthworms) project progressing?  How did the cheese press work?  Have we kept making yoghurt?  Listen in to hear updates on all of these projects and more.  

Now we are really getting our hands dirty!  We are literally making dirt.  By "dirt," I mean spongy, black, nutrient-rich soil.  We are culturing earthworms in indoor bins so that we can propagate them out to our garden beds and compost heaps.
