A crazy idea....or two - October 15th, 2004 at 03:46 AM
I was watering my houseplants yesterday and I noticed a couple of things. First, many of the plants have soil that has been packed rather tightly from two years of watering. I know in nature soil is naturally broken up and aerated by earthworms and things, so this got me thinking. Could I put earthworms in the pots of my houseplants? Would they have enough room? Food to eat? etc. I've asked around but no one seems to know anything about the dietary habits of earthworms.
Secondly, I noticed that many of my houseplants are growing toward my ligts instead of toward the window. We have the new GE reveal brand lightbulbs that are supposed to similate sunlight. It seems that they have the added bonus of working as plant lights, a good thing when you have all north-facing windows.
