Farmers Market in San Clemente on Sunday was a garden find for me. As I walked down Avenida Del Mar selecting organic apples for homemade apple sauce and plums, I saw a stand with bags stacked and filled with something brown and earthy. As I got closer, I discovered the brown, earthy matter was worm castings!
As the owner of a horse stable in Menifee, California, Ruby makes magic by combining the byproduct of horses (manure) with a lot of red wigglers (worms). This "green" solution results in worm castings. Worm castings are like gold in the garden. They are both a soil conditioner and a source of valuable nutrients.
Ruby can be found under the clock tower on Sundays at San Clemente's Farmers Market from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Avenida Del Mar.

You have so many worms from your garden as the compost made up of these worms is very helpful for the soil fertility.
