Story of my Aquaponics journey:
during my Aquaponics journey, I was assigned to take care of a !!!WORM FARM!!! I was really excited about it because I really enjoyed gardening and this was an aspect of gardening that I found interesting. since we had the worm i have felt more zen because taking care of the garden has help me to remove all my negative thoughts and be more cool with things.
the main challenge that we had when taking care of the worms is that ants had infested that farm and ate all the worm food, leaving all the worms to starve. but we took care of that problem by sparing down the area that surrounded that worm farm and put methylated spirits in the legs of the worm farm.
A plus side of the worm farm was the worm tea that could be used on the plant as a natural fertilizer. also the fact that we did throw away food scraps that later got to lad fill and produce methane. it was a healthier option for both the environment and human it was a win, win.
