Red worm farming tips

worm Farming tips

• Keep farm in a dark place or all day shade if outside.
• Add bedding (shredded newspaper/cardboard) to eliminate smell, to soak up moisture and prevent mold and fungus.
• Keep worms moist (food scraps will usually provide enough moisture). Simply mist water on bedding if it becomes dry.
• Every few months, harvest the castings for plants and excess worms to start a new bin for yourself or a friend.
• Happy worms will churn through waste and be prolific breeders. Eggs sacs, juveniles, and mature adults will be present.
• Worms are hardy critters, but need to be protected from extreme temperatures and sunlight.
• Feed worms eggshells, cardboard, paper, fruit and vegetable scraps, coffee grounds, yard clippings, cow and horse manure.
• Do not feed worms dairy, meat, grease, dog or cat feces or bones.

Dozer Work

My life's work has been about soil and water conservation. I build stock tanks for farmers and ranchers. These water reservoirs provide water for livestock and wildlife, water for recreation such as fishing and water sports, and water for irrigating crops for truck farmers. The timber removed for these projects are taken to my sawmill and turned into lumber to be used to build barns, outbuildings, storage buildings, homes, and for the restoration of historic buildings.
