Three Great Reasons To Start Your Own Worm Bin

By: Robert Sessions Home | Home-and-Family | Landscaping-Gardening


Worm farming with red wigglers will provide you with the best organic fertilizer to be found anyplace. Use it on your tomatoes, your red and green peppers, your cauliflower and grow them bigger than ever. Worm castings are expensive to buy but free of charge if you've got your own worm farm working for you. And it doesn't need very much to get started either. Why should you bother to recycle with worms? Let's take a look at 3 excellent reasons:

1) Minimize waste materials in trash dumps - A pound of red worms will eat and process a half pound of organic and natural waste materials every day. Organic waste material is anything from vegetable scraps, (no meat) newspapers, egg shells, coffee grounds, even cardboard and that's all they do, consume and process waste materials. Each and every pound of waste processed by your red wigglers is one less pound going into dumps.

2) Produce fantastic natural and organic fertilizer - Worm castings are one of the greatest and most looked for fertilizers available on the market. Worm castings are sold for up to $3.50 per pound. Contrast that to steer manure at around five bucks for forty pounds. Why are worm castings so highly-priced? Because worm castings are five times more rich in nutrients than excellent or even the very best top soil and worm castings are pH neutral. There is never any worry of burning or damaging plants with worm castings.

3) It's easy - Just start a worm bin. A home made worm bin can do the job fine. A commercially made worm bin has added features that make using it more convenient. Toss in some organically produced waste and some worms and the worms do the rest. Just feed the little red wigglers what you don't want to eat and sit back. You'll recycle that waste material and get the very best totally free organic fertilizer in return. It is a win-win-win for you, your worms and also the planet.

Our worm bins are under some hedges in the garden. Some of the worm tea, a liquid by product of the castings, leaks from the bin. Well, the hedge at that point grows quicker, greener and bushier than the other parts. You will be surprised at how good the castings are for your flowers, trees and vegetables. And now is the ideal time to start.
