Worms, Makes of Black Gold
This web site, Nonviolent Cow, starting off being called Nonviolent Worm. It was my interest in worm power that stimulated these web pages. An old friend had introduced me to Growing Power and the magic of using worms to produce castings. At the time I did not realize the value of |castings in growing had been realized in countries all over the world, from India to Guatemala, for hundreds of years to enrich growing.
During my early years doing this web page and the Diary of the Worm I spend a lots of time on the worm side of the page, the nature and growing. More recently I have spent more time on the nonviolent side. When I am really good in the Diary I have been able to combine the garden growing side with the nonviolent way of life.
Will Allen of Growing Power used to say that castings are black gold. So when a friend in Holland sent me this article from the New York Times: Worms Produce Another Kind of Gold. I knew that the lowly worm had finally made it. You can also find this article on the Featured Article on this web site.
I have been meaning to do an interview with a worm again. One interview I did in 2009 I called Last Interview with a Worm but it was not and there will be more. Worms have been with us since the age of Dinosaurs and have taught us a lot. Worms are gold.
