We were at the tail end of one of our many trips to various garden centers around town (a trip any guy absolutely loves, as you can imagine) when I asked Mrs THIT "So do we need anything else?". This was intended to be one of those more or less rhetorical questions which actually meant "So can we finally leave?"
She pondered for a moment then her eyes lit up and she exclaimed "Oh yes! Worm poop!"
Of course. How could I have forgotten?
It would appear that the Mrs once saw a show about green gardening (or something...she's not good at recalling details) and this specific product was discussed. It's quite literally what is strongly implied by its name. I thought it was just a marketing thing.
We were unable to locate said fecal matter, to much disappointment on her part. Me, not so much.
Ah, but I was wrong! The company that produces this...stuff...is fascinating!
I subscribe to a newsletter from Greenbiz.com. A link therein directed to this news story about how OfficeMax is using TerraCycle's made-from-waste office products which in turn interested me in having a look at these TerraCycle guys. And wouldn't you know it, they are our worm poo gatherers.
Beyond being about as organic as organic gets, their product is literally sold in recycled plastic bottles. Not bottles made from recycled goods, but the bottle itself, including the squirter thingy. That's why some of their packaging is mismatched. For a better illustration, check out their product line and scroll over the various items. Their Story video is also good and worth a watch.
Their site includes a store locator so I suspect that before long, Mrs THIT and I will be shopping for worm poop more effectively.

Yeah, I am getting tired of the worm poop stories.
Actually, I've never heard of the stuff, and all I can wonder is how do they collect it? Anyway, I think I'll rely on the worms already in my garden because I'm not sure how they'd feel about me putting worm waste into their home.
Lol...I thought you were serious at first...I sometimes come across this stuff and wonder if everyone knows about it but me. Particularly when the wife throws it out there casually as though it was common knowledge.
