    No matter what, even just driving in the desert air has our bodies inhaling the viruses in the soil. Which will stay dormant until the right conditions to activate the valley fever.

    I always wondered if the egg trick worked, I should try it this year with a couple of my tomatoes and do a little experiment. Great tips 👍👍

    Can you provide more information on the kind of worms and where you purchased them?

    Hmmm how about another worm bin on the other end of your big bed? Then once you fill up one side, start on the other side and encourage the worms to move through the bed. Then you can alternate where you put your food scraps.

    I had been burying my food scraps all through my pots and beds and that has worked well. This year, I am going through more yogurt than before, so I think I will concentrate my food scraps at the corners of my beds and the centers of my pots. Then I will put a mostly bottomless yogurt container with a top on it and also fill that with food scraps. I can spread my worms all through the garden.

    So glad you mentioned rabbit poop-Garden Gold! Can go straight into garden, doesnt even need composting first.
    I have very loved & friendly indoor, free roaming, litterbox trained bunnies & am collecting their droppings from their boxes & am going to start selling to gardeners! ❤

    Those tomato plants look beautiful! I cant wait to start my seeds and have them grow to the size when they SMELL like tomato plants! That smell remindes me of summer time and childhood all in one. Great post, worm castings are truly the best fertilizer that mother nature gives us!

    I am planning on experimenting doing a cracked egg underneath my tomato plants and using mycorrhizal on others and see which are more successful. Love your easy worm bin setup!

    Great video. I had about the egg, but never tried it. But I will this time in some my containers. I will if the $1.25 tree still sell eggs. I will also check AZworms too. Some also uses coffee grounds.

    Don't the worms just die in the intense heat?. I tried before but got no results. I know I have them in the soil but I don't think in our summer heat in Florida I could get them to go to a certain spot. Maybe I'll just do what you said and make sure they are divided into the different beds and pots instead of just one area. Thanks Tiffany!

    I save all of my eggshells and every 3-4 months I grind them and add them and coffee grounds. I just let them sit I don’t heat them. I also garden container everything. I’m in the high desert of Texas zone 8a. I find worms in my containers when I dump them to mix in new compost. Since I’m not in the city, I have loads of wildlife. I can’t do a worm bin like yours. That rocks, though. I have a rotating compost bin and I have used clean kitty litter trays and spread kitchen scraps then put dirt over it. Also 5 gallon buckets with lids and layer them. It all works. I also put in chicken bones, skin and meat leftover from making bone broth. The bones are super soft so they break down. I throw in yogurt and old cream. The animals don’t bother it and it makes lush compost. I also save my urine in the summer and pour that in the soil especially for corn! I’m a female so I have to save it up a couple of days then add some water and pour it into the soil and it’s probably the best free fertilizer!! ❤

    Hopefully Im not giving up my secret before I get this year's stash. 40lbs of rabbit poop fertilizer can be purchased from ace hardware

    Interesting, I didn't know deserts could have clay soil. I watched some videos that claim onion and garlic peels make great fertilizer. These allegedly have more nutrients than the part everyone normally eats. One of them said not to use this on outdoor plants because it repels worms. Have you noticed what your worms love and hate to consume?

  26. My Desert Backyard Garden

    I agree with the worms! They have done wonders for the soil in my garden. I did notice I have one bed, sweet potatoes, that felt like it was pure worm castings when I harvested my sweet potatoes last week. I filled it with about 25 gallons of compost to refill the bed. Hopefully it will yield a great harvest this year!
