Red Worm Farming For Profits
If you're reading this article, then like me you're probably looking for a way to make compost by using red words
and adding them to your indoor worm bin. Well, congratulations, you've come to the right place. Worm farming is
something that intrigues me greatly and in this article I'm going to go over a few facts that you may or may not
know about worm farming and what it can do for you.
You wouldn't usually associate worm farming with making money, but let me assure you that worm farming can indeed be
a very lucrative work from home business that doesn't actually require that much effort on your behalf. The reason
being is that the type of worm that is required for compost production is very rare, but yet there is a huge demand
for it in the agricultural sector. Wherever there is a huge demand for something that isn't in abundance, you can
rest assured that there's money to be made. In this article I talk about some of the things you should consider as a
worm farmer
Worm comoposting as a process involves the breakdown of organic matter and waste that is otherwise useless into rich
and resourceful soil prime for vegetable growth. The breakdown of such matter is a joint action performed by worms
and micro-organisms although quite often other critters are also involved.
Did you know that regular (soil and garden) worms simply can't be used for composting? Unlike red worms they'll die
if added to an indoor worm bin. However these very same worms will congregate at the bottom or lower areas of
outdoor bins if open to surrounding soil.
There are a number of different types of red, the most common specie is known as Eisenia Fetida and they are known
by many different names including red worm, red wiggler, brandling worm, manure worm and tiger worm.
The problem is, you'll be very unlikely to find red worms in and around your area because they are rare but because
of their ability to speed up the composting, they are sought after by land owners and farmers.
When it comes to farming red worms and selling them, you need to be aware of the optimum conditions that these worms
operate under. For instance, a composting worm can process as much as 100% of its own bodyweight in matter each
day, however if you create an environment that is optimum for these worms, they can go through multiple times their
own bodyweight!! This essentially means that the time it takes to make compost from organic waste can be halved or
even cut into thirds if you know what you're doing. Worm farmers take advantage of this and have been experimenting
with creating optimum home worm breading kits for years and selling them onto customers.
One of the most important things to consider when worm farming is the ratio of oxygen to moisture in the soil. Red
worms can tolerate (and studies show that they seem to like very much) moisture levels of up to 90 percent, but you
must remember that they also require oxygen so it's important to find the right balance.
