Join us here The worm business is really growing into a huge multi million dollar business with more and more people switching over to organic food. What with all the diseases caused by taking food that have been sprayed by the various chemicals? Worms have been God’s gift to man and they are the natural underground factory workers who are converting all rotten food into valuable fertilizer which is so essential to fruit bearing trees and plants.
Over a period of time man with advancement in technology had forgotten about the worms and their contribution to nature and instead had made his own chemical fertilizer which he never realized could be harmful to himself.
To breed these garden worms you need twice the amount of weight for the weight of the garden worms. That is if your garden worms weigh 3 kilograms than your food scraps should weigh 6 kilograms. This is because the garden worms are voracious eaters. You need not spend much time or effort to care for these worms. They can be spread gently over freshly prepared bedding and be fed with scraps of potato peels, mouldy bread, orange peels and anything that is left over except meat scraps. The meats should be avoided as the cause bad odour and attract rodents like rats and roaches. Garden worms hardly need much care and need to be fed either everyday or twice a week or even once a week depending upon your schedule. Make sure to cover your worm bed after placing the scraps.
Make absolutely sure that your worm bin is securely covered because once the worms have finished binging on the food scraps they tend to move away in search of more food scraps and they will all be gone never to found again if you by chance leave your bin uncovered. You can harvest your worms after sometime and collect the bigger worms as fish baits while you transfer the smaller ones to another fresh bedding to allow them to grow and breed. The compost which has been separated can be used as garden manure and the worm tea for spraying on the plants and flowers. Worms exhibit movement by powerful stretching and pulling of their muscles and they are very sensitive to light and vibrations in the soil.
