Mother Earth’s Best Friends

If they could tell us, earthworms would want a day dedicated entirely to them. They really do kind of deserve one –  but to us Earth Day and Worm Day are practically the same thing! Which is why we created this banner (be sure to check our store soon for our popular (sold out) Worm Friend posters).

Worms and Soil Health. Our Health. Planet Health.

We know the link between the future of the Earth and earthworms is not obvious to everyone – but we want a new generation of organic kitchen gardeners to “get it”. We want growers of food to understand the interconnectedness of Soil Health. Our Health. Planet Health.

On this Earth Day and every April 22 each year – we want growers of food (urban and rural) to ask themselves this question:

Would there be a future for Mother Earth without earthworms?

Mother Earth’s future is linked to choices that individual “growers” will make about the way they prepare (and respect) their soil. From farmers tending to large industrial agribusinesses to individual rural or urban kitchen gardeners – if they practice what Raffa Crevoshay, our DRP soil guru, calls transformative agriculture – the planet will have a chance.

If we can encourage eaters who care to grow some of their own food and follow natural processes that use earthworms to replenish the earth with a diversity of microflora – there is hope for Mother Earth. And for the future of Humankind.

On April 22 each year – Deep Roots Project will create stimulating and fascinating educational materials that will help DRP organic kitchen gardeners, students in elementary school, high school and universities and restaurant chefs, ordinary organic kitchen gardeners – and ordinary citizens too -  to admire worms’ contribution to soil health – and Mother Earth’s future and to our future!

Let’s make every Earth Day – Worm Day too!
