Compost worm farms transform household waste into a resource, a very valuable resource, a nutrient-rich fertilizer (liquid and solid) while also closing the loop on food waste cycles in households.
Compost worms are a great way to make your own fertilizer for organic gardening, and they are equally as good for recycling food waste at home. The system will continuously create both liquid and solid fertilizer and close the food-waste loop.
Compost worms-red wrigglers, tiger, Indian night crawlers, African night crawlers, etc.-are not earthworms. They eat their own weight every day, and the only thing they don’t like to eat are citrus peels and stuff from the onion family.
Every day, the system can produce a few liters of fermented worm juice. This can be used as is or watered down. Additionally, the solid results inside the bucket are worm castings, something that, in many ways, is better than compost. It’s got loads of beneficial bacteria.
You can use an ordinary bathtub, set up to drain as normal. Get a piece of wire and wrap it in screen to cover up the bath plug to act as filter. Fill the tub halfway with cow or horse manure (anything else would have to be aged) and add some worms. Then, top it off with food scraps each day, and the worms will come up for it.
Fill it up with water. The liquid draining out, picking up nutrient from the worm castings, and it makes excellent fertilizer. This is better than manure tea because it doesn’t go anaerobic and it has a neutral pH level.
The final touch is adding a dense shade cloth over the top, protecting the worms from the sun and predators.
Key Takeaways:
• Composting worms are a great way to close the cycle of food-waste in your household and create daily liquid fertilizer, as well as incremental solid fertilizer (worm castings).
• A worm farm is easy to make out of an old bathtub: The liquid should drain out of the tub as normal, caught in a container, and the castings can be harvested about every three months.
• It’s important to cover the tub with dense shade cloth because the worms do not like the sun.

All kidding aside, I ended up making one yesterday with an old bath tube we had used as a horse feeder in the past - I added braced legs so the tub is counter height, 2 hinged lids on top with dark fabric framed into them (so I can leave one open when I want the worms to move over), and tight mesh held down with strong magnets over the drain hole. - It came out awesome! ....now I just need to find me some worms.

When I lived in Denmark for six years I was a keen fisherman of trout and eels in season. We also lived within a few hundred meters of Gudenaa so access to eel fishing especially meant I was down at the river more nights than not. I used to get the majority of them smoked by a guy a few Kms away. The best bait for eels and trout if you're using live bait, is worms! We had an apartment and a cellar to match before moving to our summer house by the river full time. At that time I used to keep some galvanised tubs of earth in the cellar which I also used as compost, dumping all kitchen scraps and newspapers etc according to the usual rules of compost into them. Between the 3 tubs I had a virtual volcano of wriggling fireworms. Small, red, slimey and wriggly little beasts. Also earthworms, pink and as fat as your pinky finger. I've been an organic/permaculture gardener for 30 years and value earthworms as allies and natural barometers of environmental health and believe anything which makes another worm live is good.

its so important to live in a house with a garden and regular practice being involved with the actual cycle of nature itself. not only do you learn the key things about existence but your kids will become smarter too. Living in flats is such a dull life. no garden. Giving all your waste to the council so they can make compost and .........sell it back to you. LOL. hows that for getting your pants pulled down. Ive just been givin a wormery here in UK. Newnham gloucesterhsire by my landlords neighbour so im beginning to learn. Its been 10 years since ive had a garden to grow and maintain and in the last 3 months ive learnt so much more about compost. This wormery will be such a nice additonal to the brain library.

I started with just two tiger worms 6 weeks ago - now there's hundreds and growing exponentially.Instead of manure you can use shredded paper/newspaper with a handful of compost.Hold off on adding too many foodscraps until you have a large population.Worm farming is the perfect use for a spot thats too shady, cold and wet for cropping.

Slow population growth at first, but then exponential growth over time.Be careful of overfeeding or adding too much nitrogen at once which can generate heat (worms will gather on the lid, trying to escape).

If you can raise BSF, their frass can be fed to the worms in addition to paper. Give the BSF the majority of organic matter, as they process organic waste much more rapidly, and feed the worms what they love (frass + a little foodscraps + paper products). BSF have multiple outputs, and enhance the worms outputs by further composting frass and creating soil faster. Then, throw in some innoculated biochar, and brewing two types of AACT (Actively Aerated Compost Tea)(Fungi-Dominant + Beneficial Bacteria Dominant Teas). The AACT should speed up the breakdown of this entire composting stage, and you can apply the fungi-dominant compost to tree guilds, and bacteria-dominant compost to native grass and other beneficial topsoils. :)

Citrus peel is a wonderful thing to salt with sugar - it turns into a highly aromatic and not at all bitter amazing condiment. Imagine grapefruit, lemon, lime, tangerine, or orange scented version of something like kapers! Even when you use the outer layer of the peel as seasoning it will become highly aromatic, delicious, and rich in dietary fibres! 😙💚💛🧡🤗

I repurposed a children’s turtle sandbox into a worm farm and harvested twice in its first year here on Vancouver Island. I think the worms thrive living in such large system. It’s much harder to make a mistake with a big worm farm than when dealing with small totes.

It stays outside year round. I live on Southern Vancouver Island, so our climate is very mild. We are Zone 9b, but in recent years we've had a few temperature extremes (both hot and cold). I put a thermostatically controlled seed heating mat under the sandbox to make sure the worms not only live, but they stay active through our cooler months. The mat is set to maintain a minimum temperature of about 60°F (16°C). ~ Sandra

I have a dog poop worm farm. (Started with a 10 Cm layer of coir and horse manure. Open to the ground. With wire mesh to avoid a bush mouse explosion). It does 4 dogs (mine and neighbours poop) no smell at all . (Would work perfectly well with composting toilets). It gives a plume of underground fertility and abundance of microbial life to the surrounding trees. I give it ground up egg shells, water, leaves, urine, every few days. Every month I give it fruit and veggies. I also have 6 other worm farms running on aged horse manure, coir and fruit and veges.

Geoff ... if you place your worm bin on a teeter-totter and plumb a faucet into each end you can simplify your operation. To harvest worm tea and castings simply lower one end and pour lots of water into the lowered ends.Not wanting to drown, the worms will quickly migrate to the higher and drier end. After a bit, open the faucet at the lower end and drain off your worm tea. You can then shovel out the worm castings from the lower 2/5ths of the bin and recharge with your favorites mix. Tip the other end down and add water and the worms will scramble upward into the fresh food leaving the other end's tea and castings to your collection and usage. This back and forth process tipping, watering, draining and collection process is very fast and efficient. Cuts down on needless worm deaths, too.

Worms like grist and I use egg shells. I clean and dry my egg shells, then grind them to a powder. I sprinkle them in the bin. When it's time to harvest the castings, the egg shells are now bio-available to plants, via improving the soil. Do you agree Geoff? I appreciate your input.
@wildlifegardenssydney7492
@wildlifegardenssydney7492 4 года назад
Ken Farley I do the same. The fine powdery egg shells help them grind the food as they have no teeth. Ground egg shells can help neutralize the pH level of the bedding. So when things start to get too acidic (worms can get burned from this) inside the worm bin, then these shells can help balance things out since it also contains calcium.

I don't know the answer exactly, but light will degrade it, as will heat. The sooner it is used, the better. Remember, it is not a fertiliser as such. Rather, it is a soil conditioner, so it won't hurt to put it on the garden outside the growing season. To make more, just add water to your farm!

@@WhosJellies Any climate will work but you need to make sure worms will have a high humidity and temperature beetween 0-35*C. Best is 12-28*C.

Damn, that’s a good idea! I have access to lots of those, but they have all had petroleum products in them. Any way to clean them good enough to then use for worms?

The catch with using human faeces is that it needs to be properly composted due to the pathogen / parasite risk from it. Even then, there are still arguments that the heavy metals contained in human excrement would damage the soil / area and subsequent vegetation. I'll stick to worms!

Wow that’s really wet and soaking mud but your worms are fine I think you are the best teacher! I’m so scared to add water since so many people said not too much water I realize they are wrong and I will do your way because my worms obviously keep running away from the bins maybe it’s dry

I have an indoor worm farm in the desert and use bedding made from aged shredded newspaper , cardboard, and office paper mixed with a bit of peat moss, alfalfa, compost, (or older homemade worm bedding), pulverized eggshells - the worms love it!

Yusra Louhi if you live in Northern Algeria your USDA climate hardiness zone is likely zone 9 or 10. I found this info by typing into Google "USDA climate hardiness zone world map" I had to click a few links to get to this map. www.backyardgardener.com/garden-forum-education/hardiness-zones/africa-hardiness-zone-map/
