The New Sensational 2024 Guide To Worm Farming

Worm farming, otherwise known as vermiculture (vermis from the Latin for worm) is the process of harnessing earthworms to convert organic waste into the world's most nutrient-rich fertiliser; worm manure. Worm manure - also worm castings or vermicompost - is teeming with minerals, nutrients and beneficial micro-organisms essential for healthy plant growth, root development and disease suppression. Due to the nutritional superiority of worm manure, farmers and gardeners often refer to it as 'Black Gold', with one tablespoon enough to feed a small plant for three months. Worm Farms are a great way to recycle kitchen waste and food scraps into one of the best garden fertilizers available! It's very easy to maintain a worm farm, it takes very little time and effort, and you can set up worm farms in the smallest of spaces, such as balconies and courtyards. Worms farms are in fact worm composting systems, or more correctly, vermicomposting systems, and earthworms are one of the fastest composters there are. In this bookj we'll discuss how worm farms work, how to set up a worm farm and how to take care of it. You can buy or build a worm farm, and they come in all shapes and sizes to suit all tastes and requirements. Most worm farms consist of a set of stacked trays with legs, and don't take up much room at all. They are ideal in size for a small household. If you're after a larger capacity worm farming system, one that can process large amounts of food waste, you can make one out of a recycled old bathtub or buy one of the commercial wheelie bin worm farms. These larger worm farms are ideal for places that generate lots of food scraps, such as larger families, schools, cafes, restaurants or workplaces in general.
