In the high desert, sun and wind can destroy top soil eroded already from years of cattle grazing. Milagro can create alternative methods of restoring your property starting at a cellular level.

Trained in agriculture, Ron Strauch—owner of Milagro Compost for twenty years—has a Level 2 Water Operator's license and a solid waste certificate. He's trained in permaculture and is a water and waste water operator for CH2M Hill in Santa Fe.

MILAGRO WORM TIPS
5 Winter Worm Tips

Red wigglers don’t die in the winter if you take care of them. Here are five cold weather tips from Milagro Ron:

1. Insulate
Give your worm bed a protective quilt from the cold with straw bales, bags of leaves or manure.

2. Feed
Continue to facilitate microbial activity by adding kitchen scraps under your layer of insulation.

3. Water
Like trees, worm beds need regular watering; once a month is good.

4. Depth
Worms need a place to dive to in order to keep warm in the winter. Make sure you have a deep enough worm bed: 12” minimum to 60” maximum.

5. Don’t Worry
Even if your free range worms freeze, they have seeded their trails and will be back in the spring.
