Use waste products from your house to make fertilizer (and bait if you fish). Use vermiculture (farming with worms) to compost non-meat and non-dairy kitchen scraps. Reduce the amount of garbage sent to landfills.
@Wormfarmergeorge I wouldn`t put human or pet waste in but there are vermiculture outhouses. These to my understanding are not for composting but for an effective and sanitary outhouse. I`d have to be really bad off resort to that but they exist.
actually earth worms compost very well too. with the right composting equipment. however what makes red worms much more desireable is the fact that they can live at much warmer temperatures than earth worms. earth worms like it abot 50-60 degrees. they can handle higher temps for shorter periods of time. red worms like it between 50 and 80 degrees. which fits in with the temps humans have in their houses. earth worms work with compost piles and trenches used out doors, red worms work any place.
Just "good for plants"? This stuff is AMAZING, the best thing is, you can use 100% vermicompost to grow plants in and it will not burn them! Thats the reason I got started, that, and its almost free and very easy to maintain once you have it set up properly. :) hope yours is still going well. Want to make an update video on progress?
She's doing the worm thing right. I like the way she snapped at that dog, you can tell she don't put up with any crap. I also like the way nothing's perfect for her, the way it is in real life. (cord too short, multi-tool clumsiness, etc.)
