is “hidden” an interesting place inhabited by red worms...
On 500 square meters are living around 10 000 red worms

by California red worms that processed manure, straw, leaves,

make a connection with organic farmers and
with local people to show them how to compost
in a natural way, avoiding artificial methods.
