Worm farming is especially useful for people who would like to compost but don't have space for a compost bin. We are offering at this time kits which include: 10-12 gallons plastic bin, bedding, worms and a booklet with all of the instructions. We are setting each bin individually and holding it for about two weeks just to make sure that the colony of red worms is doing fine.
So say goodbye to chemical fertilizers
Save money and keep our water clean
Let kids learn how to recycle
Let's do something for a clean, healthy and rich planet Let's make a difference!
There are thousands of different species of worms. Worms that we are raising are called Eisenia fetida or more popular RED Wigglers or Red worms. Their color is rust brown, length around three inches. They are excellent vermicomposting worms. They prefer temperatures between 40-75(optimal) but I would say they are hardy and much lower or higher temperatures would not kill them. Life span 3-5 years, cocoon hatch 30-45 days depend on condition and can contain 10-20 worms. They are also very popular as a fishing worms because of certain smell they produce and they "wiggle".
You can also order worm bins and have them picked at the time of workshop.Fertilizer also available for purchase.Please e-mail us for more info at wormeco@gmail.com
