Constructing Your Very Own Worm Farm by Paul Abbey

Beginning worm farming is not too complicated all you'll need is a bit of passion for recycling and a little bit of worm trivia so here is some worm trivia that might help motivate and inspire youwith your worm farming.. How much will the worms eat? Mature worms capable of eating up or over three times their own body weight every day and those who are just getting their feet wet out in worm farming and would enjoy knowing how make worms eat more to be more productive.

The answer is easy - shred, mash or blend food scraps as these will give added digestibility and is very easily eaten by the worms. also make sure you keep their bed temperature at around 23-25 degrees Celsius, since it's at these temperatures that worms feed better but, avoid acidic foods, as it will screw up their digestive system. The following are a few things you may also want to avoid feeding your worms period manure, onions, citrus fruits or peelings, garlic, garden waste sprayed with insecticides, dairy products like milk and cheese or meat.

Keeping the farm moist will heighten the production of the liquid fertilizer but take care not to add too much water into the farm or the worms will die. Take note that food wastes are nearly eighty percent water and that gets released when the worms break them down. So, if you happen to pour water over the system every few weeks or so make sure that you only add enough to be sure that the worm bed stays cool and you will have a constant supply of liquid fertilizer.

You won't actually be able to harvest the worms as they tent to regulate themselves within any available space and food given to them. The following are some additional questions that you could end up asking.

Why is it common for worms to congregate on the lid of the farm during rainy periods? It is a normal response for these worms to react this way during the rainy season to avoid getting drowned.to avoid drowning. Simply move the worm farm bins or boxes to a place where it won't be exposed to too much rain and drop the worms on their bedding

Why don't the worms go to the top of the tray? It may be because you putting in new food before the worms have completed the previous feeding batch. Worms have an instinct to eat leftovers and will not search for a new food source until it's done with what was already left. As a result, before adding new trays, halt the feeding of the worms for at least five days to ensure all existing food is gone and make sure that the levels at the tray needs to be placed high enough for the worms to pass easily up to the next tray.

Do worms have the ability with stand extremely high temperatures? Worms can tolerate a temperature range between 10-30 degrees Celsius so if it gets hotter than they can stand, place the farm in a nice shady cool area where it won't have any trouble regulating moisture and humidity of the worm boxes. In cold temperatures,cover the box with old clothes, blankets and wool shavings to sustain the warm temperature. It is also best to feed about a quarter that recommended since more food digested on the worms part permits more heat being generated in their bodies. So, do take heed of these ideas and soon you'll be able to constructing your very own worm farm.

Start a Worm Farm and Recycle More Waste by cluffty

Believe it or not an extremely effective way of recycling is not through the help of large recycling machines but instead with help from nature\'s little wigglers. Yes, as always nature has provided us an answer to the trash problem that we created in the first place and that\'s why setting up your own worm farm is great for the environment in so many ways.

The initial benefit you\'ll receive from worm farming is the advent of composting where you can convert food and other waste into something called compost. Through worm farming you allow the worms to munch on waste and as that food goes in, so castings should come out. Worm poop is commonly known as castings and that my friends are what you\'re aiming at, because you pick up the castings from your worm farm and use the soil like substance as fertilizers for your plants.

Some enterprising individuals have marketed worm castings since their effectiveness as fertilizers are quite known. Vegetable growers will tell you they their vegetables came out better because of the fertilizer they used which came from the worm farmer across town.

Even the worms are being sold pet stores, bait stores, and even online so you see worm farming can be scaled down small enough for ordinary people living in even a small house or apartment. That\'s one of the beauties of worm farming, you don\'t require a huge area if you want to start your own farm.

To start your worm farm all you\'ll really need is a container that is several inches deep you\'ll need to place some damp newspaper leaves or paper board for bedding before you put the worms in, adding in some soil or compost on it may be a good thing as well. The worms are very easy to feed because they\'ll eat basically any kind of food scrap, nonetheless, steer clear of putting in meat, poultry, and citrus waste in the farm. The meat will only generate this awful smell and that\'s not good especially if the worm farm is in your living room.

Giving the worms your food waste and some other biodegradables is a perfect way to manage trash because not only will there be less garbage to fret about, you are also helping the environment. As a token of appreciation, the worms will provide you with a glorious pile of castings, which you can put on your plants. So, if you plan to have a worm farm you should start raising plants if you don\'t have any otherwise the soil will all go to waste if you toss it out.

The good thing of using the worm castings or vermicompost is that it leaves the soil intact which differs greatly from the chemical fertilizers available in the market today. While the negative side effects of chemicals aren\'t seen immediately the effects on the soil in the long run are devastating, whereas vermicompost improves the soil.

Having a worm farm is a very interesting project which helps you recycle food wastes into useful fertilizers. You can start work on the project in your living room and with work this can become a large undertaking that is able to provide either live worms and/or vermicompost to a waiting market place.

Worm Farming Supplies by Anna M. Hartman

Worm Farming Supplies- Choose the Container and Add the Bedding

For the worm farm container, you can use foam containers from the grocery store, used dresser drawers or a discarded trunk. Any sturdy square or rectangular container will do. Drill several holes in the bottom of the container to let exess liquid drain out. Put a brick in the bottom of the container.

Be sure to wet the bedding and compress any excess liquid out. Use torn up newspaper, cardboard, leaves, chopped up straw, and other dead plants for bedding.

Worm Farming Supplies - Add the Worms and Add Food Waste

The best worms to use are the red worm ( also known as the red wiggler). They are voracious eaters. They will eat and expel their own waste daily. They will crawl down into the bedding because they do not like light. Be sure to bury crushed egg shells with other food, this will maintain the proper pH level in the bedding. Do not use meat, bones, dairy products or fatty foods, they will attract rodents. Bury the food 6 to 7 cm in the bedding to prevent fruit flies.

Worm Farming Supplies - Cover the Worm Bed and Harvesting

Cover the bedding with newspaper. Add a bit of water to the box when in starts to dry out. It should bethe consistency of a lightly squeezed sponge. Keep the worm farm out of hot, bright sunlight and heavy rains. After a few months your wrom farm will be ready to harvest. There should be little or no original bedding material bedding visible and in its place will be rich, brown worm castings. Move the contents of the bin to one side and add fresh bedding material. The worms will move from the content side into the side with fresh bedding material. After a few days, the content side will be vacant of worms and you can harvest its content for the rich, brown worm castings.

Why Worm Farming Is Important by Qurtubhy

It may come as a surprise to some that worm farming is beneficial to our environment. After some research into the topic it may be shocking to learn how important these hidden crawlers really are. There is more to them than just crawling through Birds Eye in the garden.

Worms have been around since the beginning. During the age of the dinosaurs, worms ploughed through rotting debris and excrement, composting it into a more usable substance. Millions of years ago they were efficient creatures and today they remain the same.

So why is worm farming so important? There are three common reasons for worm farming both commercially and individually. The first reason is for composting.

Worm farming provides an effective and efficient way for composting food waste and other biodegradable items. On the larger scale, worms are used in place of landfills by commercial companies. The worms compost waste eliminating unnecessary overflows in landfills. Certain landfills also use worms to help compost the waste that has build up over time to try to prevent an overflow.

On a smaller scale, home owners and apartment dwellers are able to run their own personal worm farms. The purpose is to provide a more natural way for composting discarded food products and other items, instead of sending them to the local landfills. Various sizes of personal worm farms and Birds Eye are available on the market today. These can typically be used both outdoors and indoors for those with limited space.

Having a personal worm farm means that individuals are able to employ worms to naturally compost items such as fruits, vegetables, breads, cereals, paper products, soaked cardboard, egg shells, Birds Eye and hair. What is given in return by the worms is a naturally nutrient rich organic substance that can enrich soil for gardens, crops and house plants.

This brings us to the next reason for worm farming. Vermicompost, or worm castings, is the product the worms produce as they compost and digest their provided diet. These castings are as rich in nutrients as the food items provided to them. This substance is so rich in nutrients that it can be used as an effective plant food for a small pot for up to two months. Vermicompost is one of the best fertilizers available.

Chemical fertilizers can be replaced by using natural vermicompost. Chemical fertilizers often produce a fast effect, but when the soil is analyzed, it is found that the nutrients in the soil are being further broken down by the chemicals. This requires that even more fertilizer be used later on to produce the same effect.

Chemical pest removers and poisons have led to the destruction and evacuation of worms in many areas. The worms are either killed by the poison or they leave the area as the soil is no longer healthy enough for them to live in.

Using vermicompost as a natural fertilizer helps eliminate the need for chemicals that destroy the soil and rid the area of these helpful worms. Some worms can be used in garden beds, improving the quality of the soil as they plough through pulling water into the soil and aerating the bed as they go.

Another reason for worm farming is the production of worms to be used as live food and live bait. Many exotic pets, birds and aquarium fish require the addition of live worms to their diets. Offering worms for this reason gives pet owners an opportunity to purchase live food that has not been chemically altered or treated.

Professional fishermen, bait and tackle shops, and the fishing hobbyist are often on the search for good suppliers of various worms that are best suited for live bait in both freshwater and salt water. Worm farms offer these buyers a chance to purchase organically raised worms that will produce the best results when fishing.

As surprising as it may seem, worms are a very important part of our environment. Birds Eye and Worm farming is just a way to be able to appreciate their effects on a more personal level. They are hard workers and keeping them happy in a worm farm will help ensure a healthier environment, less overflow of the landfills and a higher level of plant growth.

Tips For Household Waste Management by Sumaryan

The numbers are increasing. The United Nations Development Programme estimates that there are five million people who die each year because of diseases related to inappropriate waste disposal. It is the developed countries who are generating more wastes. About .75 tons of trash is being produced annually by an individual in the United States, that is according to the United States Environmental Protection Agency or US EPA. It can be reduced through waste management.

Home waste management is not just about less trash, it is about protecting and saving the environment. You could start by monitoring what you actually throw and how much waste is hauled from your home. Monitoring what you dispose would help you deal with them using other methods. Waste management could be summed in three important words: reduce, reuse, recycle.

• Reducing wastes. Buying food in packs will add to your waste, try buying food loose like vegetables and fruits. You could also get your home appliances regularly maintained or repaired. This would give your appliances longer life and avoid throwing away equipments.

• Reusing items. Appliances or home equipment that are not being used can be donated to charity. You could also use a cotton bag for shopping, this would reduce paper or plastic bags that you will be taking home. There are different methods on how you can reuse or repurpose old items in the house. There are different websites that can give you different ideas. Also buy reusable items rather than disposable items. You could get water bottles or a coffee mug instead of frequently buying plastic water bottles or disposable coffee cups.

• Recycling. You could start having a composting bed at home. This would be great for the environment and for your garden, too. Vermiculture or worm farming is also another way to recycle your waste and even earn extra income. Look for recycling centers near your home to bring items that you would like be recycled.

Another source of household wastes is food waste. How do you reduce your food wastes? Then start by buying food that you would really consume and need. There are studies showing that about 74% of people will be making purchase decisions after entering the grocery store, which is why you need a shopping list.

But before you start shopping, check your household supplies first and identify which food should be consumed immediately. Be a smart shopper, think about what will happen to the food, its containers and packages before you go ahead and buy. Food could be stored in the refrigerator for longer life and fruit and vegetable peelings could go to your compost bin.

Red Worm Farming for Profits by Paul McCarthy

If you're reading this article, then like me you're probably looking for a way to make compost by using red words and adding them to your indoor worm bin. Well, congratulations, you've come to the right place. Worm farming is something that intrigues me greatly and in this article I'm going to go over a few facts that you may or may not know about worm farming and what it can do for you.

You wouldn't usually associate worm farming with making money, but let me assure you that worm farming can indeed be a very lucrative work from home business that doesn't actually require that much effort on your behalf. The reason being is that the type of worm that is required for compost production is very rare, but yet there is a huge demand for it in the agricultural sector. Wherever there is a huge demand for something that isn't in abundance, you can rest assured that there's money to be made. In this article I talk about some of the things you should consider as a worm farmer

Worm comoposting as a process involves the breakdown of organic matter and waste that is otherwise useless into rich and resourceful soil prime for vegetable growth. The breakdown of such matter is a joint action performed by worms and micro-organisms although quite often other critters are also involved. Did you know that regular (soil and garden) worms simply can't be used for composting? Unlike red worms they'll die if added to an indoor worm bin. However these very same worms will congregate at the bottom or lower areas of outdoor bins if open to surrounding soil.

There are a number of different types of red, the most common specie is known as Eisenia Fetida and they are known by many different names including red worm, red wiggler, brandling worm, manure worm and tiger worm. The problem is, you'll be very unlikely to find red worms in and around your area because they are rare but because of their ability to speed up the composting, they are sought after by land owners and farmers.

When it comes to farming red worms and selling them, you need to be aware of the optimum conditions that these worms operate under. For instance, a composting worm can process as much as 100% of its own bodyweight in matter each day, however if you create an environment that is optimum for these worms, they can go through multiple times their own bodyweight!! This essentially means that the time it takes to make compost from organic waste can be halved or even cut into thirds if you know what you're doing. Worm farmers take advantage of this and have been experimenting with creating optimum home worm breading kits for years and selling them onto customers.

One of the most important things to consider when worm farming is the ratio of oxygen to moisture in the soil. Red worms can tolerate (and studies show that they seem to like very much) moisture levels of up to 90 percent, but you must remember that they also require oxygen so it's important to find the right balance.

If you just head out to your yard and effect digging for earthworms, you may get lucky again find a species that's profitable to vermicomposting - but it's not ultimate. The typical worm found in gardens will tend to explore too far into the ground, and will also not stage being prodigious of a 'processor' thanks to the trait most often used magnetism vermicomposting - called the red wiggler or redworm and technically reffered to as Eisenia foetida. You burden buy these from any worm farm supplier, multifold of which are online.

People deem used many incomparable materials to build the actual worm farm. Commercial operations frequently good create the farms today on the ground in long rows known being 'windrows'. But for home use, you probably crave to domicile the worms in some type of a container. You can conformation or scrounge these yourself, or buy a entreaty conviction in that underneath fifty dollars.

Other things which should not be added are wastes from uncomely products, parallel as bones, abandoned over meat, milk products, and dog, cat, or human manure. Adding these items may either blemish the final castings with pathogens or allure pests to the worm farm.

There are a number of various designs in that worm farms, and these use different methods to harvest the castings. One memorable arrangement uses a number of separate bins stacked on installation of each deviating. The farm is initially commenced in the top bin with some shredded daily or cardboard to serve as bedding. On induction of that is added some dirt, the initial supply of worms, and some organic waste for food. Then put the lid on and try not to glance every day, as the worms don't like relucent. When the bin gets full to cover a stick together of inches of the top, put an remove bin on top and move the vast bin below it, removing member large pieces of unprocessed food. Put some backing again food in the deeper top container, and the worms will migrate from their original home to the supplementary one through the holes in the bottom, leaving the first container filled squirrel belonging a dainty dark dirt-like structure ready to be added to the garden.

The worm farm will again usually leak some dark liquid which can be fascinated in a pan placed at the keel. This is called 'leachate' and is also a noted fertilizer, but existing may be too strong since some applications. I'd notify researching your intended use before using it.

Give worm farming a try. It's like having a regular compost pile, but the worms do all the work seeing you. And how many people are able to put a compost pile under their kitchen sink?
