Top 5 Reasons to Start Vermiposting
1. Plants Love Worm Castings!
This has to be the number one reason people have worm farms, the great mounds of worm poop make for great plant growing. The castings are rich in microbial life and have many nutrients that act as great fertilizer for just about any plant.
2. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!
Let’s face it , any time you can take leftover kitchen scraps, cardboard, coffee grounds and just about any vegetable type matter except onions and garlic, toss them into a bin full of red wigglers, and in a few days its all turned into that black gold know as worm castings, you have all three R’s covered. You have reduced the load on your local landfill, you have reused food scraps and it’s all been recycled into something that people will pay good money for! A win on all three counts!
3. Make Your Own Fish Bait!
I know what your thinking, If I fish with all the worms, whats gonna eat all my garbage? Well good news, the worms grow more worms, see Item number two above! Reuse! These worms will reproduce and make more worms , after a while you will need to find something to do with the extras, unless you going into a commercial size operation. Why not fish with them, or sell them to your neighbor so they can fish with them?? Thinking hard yet?
4. The Worms almost run themselves.
You just set up the initial worm home, feed the regularly and the worms do the rest. They need very little input from the outside world. That’s not to say this is a completely hands off operation, but with some feeding every two or three days , keeping the bedding moist but not soggy and keeping the temperature right, the worms do the rest!
5. Low Initial Start Up Cost!
For less than $150 dollars you can put together a starter worm farm and be up and running. The worms are around $25 and for $100 you can get a decent worm bin.
Don’t want to pay, heck make your own worm bin, just do a search for worm bin plans and get started! See I told ya low start up cost!
So there you have it , my top 5 reasons to start Vermiposting! what are ya waiting for?
