good vermicompost is essential for sustainable organic type of farming.perticularly vegetables need this stuff.

we composted lots of waste from a 'cafe' feeding and watering up to 10 people a day. for sake of ease it was sited on the nearest possible soil in a deep hole surrouded by logs with straw and worms added from the start. what that hole sucked up and decomposed was phenomenal, everything went in it from kitchen roll to pasta water and tons of well aimed tea bags. it just kept going down not builing up. when it was pulled up it stank at the bottom but the size and no. of worms thr was eye opening

[Messplatz]

yep, everybody, take a look at my compost

can oompa loompas do the same work as these worms?

I went to the kimbriki waste facility and attended this guys half day class and it was great. Now i go and get my green grocers 200L trade waste bin every couple of weeks and make a batch of compost according to his advice. My garden is just getting better and better, and its organic. Also its amazing the volume reduction from waste to worm cast in a worm farm about 10 to 1 id say.

can i start a worm farm using nightcrawlers i caught in my backyard. I live in Ill.

[PostTheMissing]

Absolutely not!

Worms found in Ill are very dangerous, and can kill all your plants and possibly you.

If I were you I wouldnt even bother doing this, until you move to a safer area.

Good luck!

id say buy compost worm species (red wrigglers,tigers and blues) as they are a species more suited to the conditions of a food scraps worm farm regarding acidity, temperature and moisture. my understanding is nightcrawlers are harder to keep and kept for use as fish bait.

[binashraf]

whats a night crawler??

[fastacker2]

@binashraf Worms that climb onto the soil surface at night. they are very large , about 10 inches long. You can catch them at night with a flashlight, but they are very fast , so you have to have very fast hands to grab them before they scoot back under the soil. Good for catching fish. Also, its a character name in X-men.

[binashraf]

@fastacker2 ohh i used to catch em to feed em to a baby blackbird i had.but i thought they were just called fat worms

"no meat/dairy/oil (because of the smell)"

Mainly because they attract maggots, fruit flies, fungus gnats, ants, and many other pests.

Also, oils can clog the skin of worms and suffocate them.

[demonz29222]

if you put to much water on the soil the worms will drown and die
