Good Man Explains: Exponential Growth
"We should stop by that garden center and see if they have worms! I want more worms! We don't have enough worms."
Good Man half rolled his eyes and shook his head. "Leave worms alone. If you quit worrying we will soon have many, many worms! It is called exponential growth."
"But the eggs aren't hatching! We have too much food and too few worms."
Good Man put on his sing-song teacher voice. "That's why it's exponential. You have to have the worms first. And then it's two times two times two times two times two times two times two times... one, two, four, eight, sixteen, thirty-two and so on. Understand?"

honestly did you ever think you would be exclaiming that you "want more worms"?

No. Never. In fact, there's a recent explosion of pot worms (white worms) in the bin—very small white worms. I haven't told Good Man. The whole mess freaks him out. But white worms aren't good enough! I want red ones! :P

Adventures in vermiculture... did you know they make vermiculture units that can double as coffee tables? That way you can make castings in your living room.

Should we take it then that Good Man never raised rhinoceros or stag beetles from eggs when he was younger? ;)

He says he raised ants. He had "that house with the glass thing so you can see the routes." :)
