Worms are great for the garden, aerating the soil and converting organic matter into worm castings or vermicast. A worm farm is a fantastic way to harness this natural composting method.
Red Worms or Tiger Worms
are the best to use in a worm farm, worm farms can be purchased online or from retail stores or even local councils. Remember worms like dark cool places, so keep your worm farm shaded. Avoid citrus or onions, worms hate onions and citrus and will run away (literally try to climb out of the worm farm) Meat scraps are not suitable for worm farms, worms will eat meat scraps, however meat scraps attract flys and maggots. Use the castings on the garden or in pot plants, or mix with water to create a liquid. Use the liquid waste as a fertilizer, but dilute it with water. |
