Breeding worms in trenches is a much cheaper way than growing them in worm bins but the worms can also run away. There are various other factors like rodents and animals that can eat these worms and drainage is always a problem.
Many people breed worms in bins specially made for the purpose from materials like plywood, concrete or even concrete blocks. In commercial breeding the worms have to be kept warm in winter by having the bins insulated. This can be done either cheaply by installing hot water pipes running through the beds or by electric heating which can turn out to be expensive.

There are some companies which buy worms in bulk. You could use the internet to sell your worms commercially. You can create a website for selling your worms and this is really a very cost effective way as there are many people who always surfing the net for buying worms. |
