We are happy to share our passion with you and offer a wonderful means of healthy composting and information to help get you started and guide you through the process of setting up and maintaining a worm compost bin, raising worms for profit or the manufacture of worm castings and worm tea.
Whether your interest is in reducing your carbon footprint on our planet, growing lush houseplants, increasing your crop production or a wide variety of other benefits, you are to be congratulated for your efforts. Well done!
What's the big deal about worm composting?Worms convert waste faster! Worms can consume three times their weight a week. Conventional composting takes weeks to months to convert organic material to compost and is very labor intensive. By using worms to compost, the organic gardener can convert organic waste into vermicompost!
Using worms to convert your kitchen waste, yard debris and other organic waste not only takes far less time than hot composting the material but the vermicompost is far superior to conventional compost. The worm castings in the vermicompost have nutrients that are 97% utilizable by your plants and the castings have a mucous coating which allows the nutrients to "time release".
Using the rich 100% organic vermicompost, which you recycle on site, on your house plants, lawns and gardens gives them the best fertilizer on the planet.
Here are just a few references about the value of vermicastings:
Analysis of earthworm casting reveals that they are richer in plant nutrients than the soil, about three times more calcium and several times more nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.
Redworm castings contain a high percentage of humus. Humus helps soil particles form into clusters, which create channels for the passage of air and improve its capacity to hold water. Humic acid present in humus, provides binding sites for the plant nutrients but also releases them to the plants upon demand. Humus is believed to aid in the prevention of harmful plant pathogens, fungi, nematodes and bacteria.
Worm castings on vegetable gardens have shown a 33% increase in productivity.
The list goes on and on. You can find more info and some free plans on my Blog at http://wormdigest.blogspot.com/
