  lots, she's growing flats of seedlings soon to be transplanted into large self-watering tubs nearby. 
  This patio garden is nothing to sniff at: In a good year, one tomato plant can produce 40 pounds of 
  ripe tomatoes.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.metrotimes.com/editorial/story.asp?id=13996">Of course, the containers need plenty of rich soil amendments for healthy, 
  living soil. That's where White's "worm farming" comes into play. In a semi-industrial setup in 
  her open kitchen area, she keeps roughly 40,000 red wiggler worms — about 40 pounds total 
  — in two large bins. </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.metrotimes.com/editorial/story.asp?id=13996">The worms turn what most people would throw in 
  the trash or grind down the disposal into a rich "worm castings," a valuable organic soil additive, 
  at virtually no cost.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/0B2A9B84-5CEB-46AC-A364-9574DBC9FBE5/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
