We’re celebrating the kings of composting in this Worm 101 potcast with Dan Rasure, CEO of Fed ’n Happy. Dan is a serial entrepreneur who fell in love with the soil at an early age and after a whirlwind of opportunities, fully committed to building the idea of Fed ’n Happy into everything he does.
We discuss the role of worms in the soil ecosystem, how it works, and the benefits of worm castings for growing cannabis, mushrooms, and your favorite fruits and veggies. We also explore the business of worm farming and how to get started with your own DIY bin. We even dabble in death with talk of earth-friendly burial methods.
If putting your hands in the dirt brings you peace, this potcast is for you. It’s also for anyone looking to work in regenerative agriculture or diversify your farm or ranch’s income. I ask Dan a lot of questions and receive valuable insight that I’m excited to share with you. So smoke ‘em if you got ‘em and settle in. It’s time to get casually baked.
This Potcast Is Covered By MJ Relief
MJ Relief is the muscle rub I co-created with my bestie Ph.D. formulation scientist, Monica Vialpando.
MJ Relief is CBD-infused to address personal aches and pains. Our challenge was to choose an entourage of ingredients all with anti-inflammatory, pain-relieving, and/or skin-soothing qualities that would work just as well or better than competing CBD topicals with exponentially higher mg/ml and higher price tags. MJ is strong enough for performance athletes and gentle enough for sensitive skin. Explore our formulation and support your body and my small business at MJSkinRelief.com.

‘After the Show’ Notes
Why Red Wiggler Worms?
Red Wigglers are the most popular worm for gardeners. They are the most versatile, work efficiently, and reproduce quickly! Red Wigglers are known to eat 25-50% of their body weight each day, and multiply every 3-4 months! Adult Red Wigglers produce ~3 cocoons each week, and 1-5 worms will hatch from each of those cocoons.

Red Wigglers are often referred to as “the king of composting worms.”
Though they’re only about 1-3 inches long and the diameter of a pencil lead, Red Wigglers are amazingly quick and efficient at breaking down compost, food waste and vegetable scraps into premium worm castings.
Sick of throwing out food waste and veggie scraps? Turn your trash into treasure; turn compost into black gold! Worm castings are a deep, dark brown in color, and contain many times the nutrient levels of typical garden or lawn soil. Our worm castings’ nutrients are also highly bioavailable, meaning plants’ roots are easily able to break down and absorb nutrients.
