The first step is to make the broth, usually, a ramen broth has pork bones, but this one was made using beef bones I bought at a local farm. I used a variety of marrow bones and tossed them into a deep pot, with 4-5 garlic cloves smashed, a piece of ginger, a few stalks of celery, and half an onion, then covered it with about a gallon of cold water, and brought to a simmer, skimmed off the foam, then let it cook way for 4-5 hours. In the meantime, I sauteed green onion and garlic in beef tallow for a few minutes, then added a pound of grass-fed and finished ground beef and cooked that 10 minutes. Later I strained the broth into the aromatics/beef mixture followed by a package of lo mein-style wheat noodles. I cooked the noodles until they were al dente which took 4-5 minutes. It was served in a bowl with plenty of broth, topped with green onion and cilantro. Was a wonderful meal that we all enjoyed, and relatively easy to make and inexpensive.

Firstly, worm castings, the nutrient-rich waste produced by worms, are a phenomenal natural fertilizer. They are packed with beneficial microorganisms, enzymes, and nutrients that enhance soil structure, increase water-holding capacity, and improve overall soil health. The castings provide essential nutrients to plants, promoting robust growth and enhancing crop yields. On the other hand, worm tea, which is obtained by steeping worm castings in water, serves as a potent liquid fertilize
