Cathy Nesbitt - Worms in the Kitchen, Laughter Yoga, and Educational Silliness S2-EP20
LX and Havok welcome the unstoppable Cathy Nesbitt founder of Cathy’s Crawly Composter (24 years selling worms by the pound!), Cathy’s Sprouts, and Cathy’s Laughter Club to the Space Tomatoes Podcast.
What started as a “Toronto landfill just exploded and we’re shipping garbage to Michigan in a thousand trucks a week” panic became the ultimate indoor composting empire. Cathy reveals how red wiggler worms (yep, five hearts each) turn your kitchen scraps into “black gold” in a Rubbermaid bin even if you live in a condo.
Hear the legendary school workshop tales: over 100,000 kids, squealing worm hugs, one brave (or peer-pressured) student who actually ate a worm on a countdown, and the time the boys tried sticking worms to the bathroom ceiling like spaghetti.
Plus: why sprouts are your countertop superfood secret, how laughter yoga floods you with happy hormones (and why it feels super awkward the first time), and why Cathy once considered starting a dating site for “you got worms, I got worms” singles.
Practical, hilarious, and weirdly inspiring this episode proves sustainability can be fun, regenerative, and done from your apartment.
If you’ve ever said “eww, worms in the house,” Cathy’s got your number (and a comeback).

Founder of Cathy’s Crawly Composter | Worm Composting Expert | Laughter Yoga Leader
Cathy Nesbitt is living proof that one person’s panic about landfill waste can become a 24-year business empire.

On Space Tomatoes S2-EP20 she also brought her signature laughter yoga and educational chaos to the studio.
If you’ve ever wanted to compost indoors without the ick factor (or just want to laugh while learning), Cathy is your guide.
