• Cleaning out the worms

  

  Every so often, the worms get a thorough clean out. Athena helps me as much as she can as we harvest all of the goodness created by some of the hardest workers at Ligaya Garden.

  Too much rain has been overflowing the aquaponics and starving plants of nutrients. It’s been flooding the backyard too. A big cover-up is in order.
