Dirtman Diaries is a journey into the world of worm composting, sustainable living, and all things earthy. From weekly bin checks to bokashi experiments and deep dives on soil health, it’s your go-to source for getting dirty — in the best way possible.
Dirtman Worm & Root Supply is our shop, studio, and testing ground — where the lessons from the diaries come to life. We make and sell small-batch tools, vermicomposting kits, natural soil boosters, and other useful things for people who want to grow better and waste less.
