Well, it appears that the growth of Amazon is also causing growth in the piles of garbage in landfills and recycling centers. Here is a link to the news story.
So, why is this newsworthy, especially for a blog about worms and invertebrates?
The simple fact is that red worms eat cardboard. If everyone kept a vermicomposting bin they could compost those Amazon boxes right at home and never have to send those to a landfill.
The process is simple. Cut the boxes into strips to increase the surface area once placed in the worm bins. Moisted the cardboard strips by soaking them. Then let the worms have at it. Aerate the bin by turning the cardboard every few days to get air into the layers and the worms and bacteria will do the rest. In a few weeks your Amazon boxes will be turned into worm castings which will be ready to feed your plants just in time for spring.
Please let me know if you need for me to make a video about it.
It was not until I met a group of breeders that I was taught the techniques and industry insider tips about how to bring out the colors and shine in my Arowana that left me wondering how many other fellow enthusiast like yourself are being kept in the dark.
Armadillidium Nasatum Peach Isopods, also known as Nosy Roly Poly, are color morphs of normal Armadillidium Nasatum which originally came from Europe.
They look a great deal like Armadillidium Vulgare, but they are more sleek and smaller. They also have a bump in the front of their anterior between their antennae. They do roll up into a protective ball when disturbed, just like regular common roly poly’s.
Nosy Roly Poly Isopods are very easy to care for. Please see our video and care info below.
Housing: Any container
Food Preferences:Vegetables, dried leaves, grasses, decaying matter and rabbit poop.
Temp Requirements: 65 Degrees up to about 85 Degrees. The cold and extreme heat can kill Armadillidium Nasatum
Breeding: They will breed readily if cared for properly. They will begin breeding before reaching full size
My friend, Dr. Aaron Dossey, started Invertebrate Studies Institute. This is a really interesting concept that deserves further investigation and implementation.
The basic concept is to create a learning environment to introduce the public to invertebrate ecology and study, while also creating a facility that could host investigation and scientific study of invertebrates for a host of applications from medicinal uses to uses in food ingredients, and for a greater overall understanding.
The public portion would hose an invertebrate zoo while the scientific portion would host a world class scientific lab that could be used by government, university and business scientists alike.

Imagine growing your own fish for food and then circulating and filtering the fish water through media and growing garden plants in that media to produce some of the biggest, best looking and best tasting food available for Human consumption. Not only is the food and fish you will grow safe, they are also highly nutritious. I have two aquaponics systems here at Worm Man’s Worm Farm. The first is for our Tilapia and the second is Koi. We do not eat the Koi, but we do eat the vegetables that the Koi help us feed.
