Ever tried to get an avocado pit to sprout by using the toothpicks-to-suspend-it-in-a-glass-of-water method and failed? Well, avocado pits love vermicompost and sticking the pits in with your worms is a surefire way to get them to sprout. Just throw your pits into the vermicompost, leave them in with the castings, and come back in a couple of months to find most of them sprouting. This is a picture of just a few of the many sprouted avocados I pulled out of my compost today. Unfortunately you won't be able to look forward to an avocado harvest, but little avocado trees make excellent house plants and are an easy way to bring some green inside your home.
