Using worms to break down food then using their castings (manure, poop, crap, SH#*) to fertilize your garden.

Since my dreams of becoming a chicken farmer have been crushed, I have decided to go in a new direction and become a worm farmer.
Yep, you heard me right. I just ordered the Worm Factory 360, 1000 Red Wigglers, and 250 Super Reds and I am about to get my Vermaculture on.
Natural Born Diggers.
So here's my game plan. Instead of breaking child labor laws, and having Michael dig for worms, I am going to take the Super Reds and some of the Red Wigglers that I ordered and spread them around the garden. The Red Wigglers stay close to the surface, so they are a good way to organically fertilize your garden and the Super Reds go deep to help aerate the beds.
I am then going to start throwing kitchen scraps in the Worm Factory 360 and let the worms work their magic.
I will take the "black gold" and spread it around the garden.
I am pretty sure I can excel in worm farming.
I mean the website basically said it's so easy a child can do it.
Anywho...
I was also thinking about ordering a worm farm, but then I figured I would be taking it too far and would become known as the Worm Lady.
People would point and stare... "Look! There's The Worm Lady! She has like a million worms in her garage!"
Children would start dangling worms in my face and teasing me.
I would get nothing but worm paraphernalia for birthdays and holidays....
You get the point. No worm farm for me.

Say, what?! Omg, you were meant to be a mama of boys. You are my hero. Hayds would be so excited to come visit your new garden friends.
Ha! She can come anytime! I am pretty sure Michael is going to have a mini heart attack when the worms arrive:)
I think it's too late. I'm already thinking up wormy nicknames for you...the worm whisperer etc. etc.
I know we've only recently become friends but I think I can accurately say, with fondness, "only you..."
