San Antonio Botanical Garden

13 Jan

Thanks to Sasha Kodet and the San Antonio Botanical Garden for referring TexasRedWorms.com.

The San Antonio Botanical Garden will be hosting several workshops this Spring through NEISD Community Education for kids and adults. 2011 Spring Calendar

The Botanical Garden is a great place to take the kids for a fun and learning.  My mother in law loves the Texas Native Trail.

Texas Native Trail

The Native Texas Trail is a unique aspect of the San Antonio Botanical Garden. This area consists of plant communities characteristic of the Hill Country (Edwards Plateau), East Texas Piney Woods, and South Texas. These three distinctive and diverse ecological regions of Texas vary in soil, plant life, topography, and weather. The authentic botanical setting is enhanced by several early Texas houses, which have been reconstructed on the site to help illustrate and interpret the regional theme.

Worms on a plane

4 Nov

I had a question come in the other day. Can you fly with red worms in your carry on baggage? Having a couple of flights this week and wanting to know myself, I checked with TSA and Southwest yesterday. This morning I had no trouble bringing a plastic container of red worms through airport security.

TSA and Flying w/ RedWorms

3 Nov

Just asked TSA if I could bring my red worms with me in a small plastic container?”Just some dirt and worms?” they asked “No problem.”. I checked with some Southwest employees at the gate, and they said if TSA lets you through you should be good. Jackpot. I will be flying again tomorrow, and bringing some red wigglers to some young farmers in Little Rock.

TexasRedWorms.com Word With Friends October Rankings

29 Oct

The votes are in for the week of October 29 and the TexasRedWorms.com Words With Friends National Poll is out.

The team to beat with a 17 game win streak and .900 winning percentage is the juggernaut from Texas, top ranked team KHarrell.

1. KHarrell @KyleHarrell

The rest of the top 10 rounds out like this:

2. kcan615 – hailing from the Monterey Bay and currently out of Nashville, TN @KevCan615 is a force to be reckoned with. @KevCan615 is making news all over the place as a Fresno State grad who can spell.

3. cprimo – from parts unknown this controversial wordsmith has pulled some fast ones in his game and some sources think he may be using “aids” to assist his play.

4. Normalguyguide – This emmy winner has the stuff and may be poised to move up the rankings if he can pull off an upset of KHarrell.  The current game is within reach with only 8 letters remaining.

5.  Jared.Harrell – This dangerous newcomer to the game combines his deep East Texas street smarts with his Oxford advanced law degree book smarts.  Look for this legal eagle to be a mainstay.

6. Highway 28 – Brings a solid command of the English language to the table with some design flair.

7.  cLARK_bROS – A scrappy native mid-westerner that is always ready for a tussle.

8.  Aggiemom12 –  Much like her university of choice has lots of “spirit”. Woot!

9.  kaindy –  The lone Arkansan to crack the Top 10, @kristianindy has been known to double up with 80+ point words. And to be a sore loser.

10.  @nsinsabaugh – A rugged master of the grid that has a lot of potential. Who said meat heads can’t spell?

The main attraction for red worms is composting.  Red worms are also popular as bait for fishing, and as food for your pets.  Yes, feeding your cichlids (aquarium fish), bearded dragons, and other reptiles can benefit from your red wigglers.  They are prolific and can save pet lovers frequent trips to the pet store to buy food for pets.

A red worm farm is a natural choice to compliment your chicken farm.  Worms will flourish with the chicken litter and everyone knows chicken love to eat worms. Feed prices are going through the roof, and supplementing red worms in your egg layers’ diet can benefit your birds and pocket.
