Worm Farming...anyone?

Hey, I've not heard of this before but then I grew up in a small farm. My parents were farmers and earth and plants are their livelihood. As farmer's children you get to see earthworms quite often and their place are in the soil... sometimes used as baits for fishing.


Never in my adult life to comes across worm farming. I thought it was very funny. I couldn't stop myself giggling. We put all types of trash from leftover food to telephone directory and they really eat them...gone in days. I don't know how they eat because they don't have teeth or anything like that. Their cast is a good source of compost... very good for the garden, in my case flowers in pots.

How did we get the worms? From Bunnings warehouse. They sell a wide range of stuff...everything except food and clothing. The worms are in boxes packed nicely and you can also get container made especially for worm farming.

So now instead of throwing leftovers into the bin, I give them to the worms and I get fertilizer from them. It is very good. But they don't like onion... never give them onion. You'll hear them screaming... haha. I think they die.
