Ok, so For my grow (thread in CFL section) I am going all organic. Straight up dirt, water, and minimal nutes. They way gaia intended it to grow. lol. So, I am now in to the flowering phase and I wanted to help the plants some more, so I decided to go outside and get some worms to help.

Before the next part of this story you should know I am a big guy, who has two bad knees and a falls are bad mmmkay>)

So I go outside and the ground is soft and good fir digging. So I proceed and I am finding just clay, so no worms. I turn to get further away from the foundation and I slipped in mud and fell.

Normally, someone who worries about falls, has a split second in their head to realize they are falling and to fall to one side of you. This may not make sense if you do not have bad knees or hips or something, but those who do, know what I am talking about.

This fall i fell straight down onto my knee and fell back prone. I could not feel my leg for about 5 mins. I could not move and I am laying in cold wet mud. Once I got feel back in my leg I pulled myself up and hobbled in to the house.

I could not put any weight on it last night, when this happened. Today, it got worse. So I went to the ER.

I now have a torn Meniscus and can barely move.

So the results of my wormy adventure? No worms, serious knee damage and recovery time, medical bills with no insurance, and i just ran out of pot.

Could this night get any worse?

Worms eat any dead material on the surface of the soil. They then shit some of the best fert ever. They also ariate the soul and allow roots to grow easier.

Yeah, a bait shop would have been better, but last night the concept of free and available now over rode the part in my brain for making rational thoughts. lol.

The soonest I can afford more pot at this point is Thursday. As for my plants they still have a month :(
