Our Story

My page is about raising red wigglers for composting as well as fishing bait. The castings (which is worm p**p) is very high in nutrients and good for planting plants and vegetables. I hear a lot f people comment that they are not eating vegetables grown in worm casting. This is grass, leaves, shredded paper, vegetable scrapes and such. The worms digest the bedding material and then passes the castings that makes growing plants and vegetables grow magnificently. Roses thrive in the worm casting. Worm Casting can be aeriated into what is called worm tea which also is high in nutrient's that plants and vegetables thrive on. It is also been found to help fight against insects and diseases. It's really amazing how much power this product has.

My farm is a small scale farm, mostly for my hobby. It’s relaxing when digging around in the dirt, moving the worms from one bed to the other. My mother has Rheumatoid arthritis and I had her digging in the bedding. Now this is a woman that I would have thought would have never done this, but after visiting for an hour or so, watching and talking she ventured in and stated that it was fun. Needless to say she never really put her hands in, but she would rake one here and there out with her finger nail, well you would have had to be here to really experience it. I hope to one day be a big scale farm, but right now what I do is rewarding enough. I have a friend that has since come to me on making beds and raising worms and she is doing extremely well with hers, ( at least I know that I am not the only crazy one that talks to the worms).

I have 6 beds right now but getting a bigger area for the summer. One of the beds I feed my table scrapes to and the rest I feed chicken mash or corn meal. They are all doing good, you just have to keep check on the acidity in the beds. Overall I use my worm casting and worm tea to treat my houseplants with. They thrive on the nutrients from the worm composting. My first experience I used a full pot of worm casting for one of my plants not realizing until afterwards that it was too potentate to use solely by itself which wasn't a good result. I have since found out that you use only a tablespoon or two in your plants and they will thrive off of it.

I am experimenting with how to make the worm tea and if it smells after it has set awhile, if it still contains it’s nutrients after a long shelf life. If anyone has experienced this I would welcome some input.
