Re: My worm farm (for Earth Worm Castings)
I think there's a little confusion here. I don't put the worms themselves in my soil.aykhan wrote:I have notice if you put good soil to start with ie a lot of organic matter you don't need to breed worms. I sometimes think now there are too many worms in my beds.....
I use the poop that the worms produce (castings) from what i feed them while in these barrels, then after taking the worms out of the finished poop, i mix it with my soil as a compost.
Hope that clears things.

I am waiting to see the results where the worm castings were used compared with the control.

Haven't really gotten around to the controlled testing yet to be honest. Moved houses n had a baby so been pretty hectic the last few months.Muhammad Arif Khan wrote:I am waiting to see the results where the worm castings were used compared with the control.
I am however preparing some raised beds for veggies in my garden. And I'll be dumping lots of castings in there (along with some other compost). Will share the pics when its up and running.....
I'll also get around to setting up a WC vs other compost test.

Good would be looking forward to your results, no result is of any value without a control.
