Not any worms will work however; you need to use special varieties such as red worms or red wigglers. This process is an organic, earth-friendly way of generating for your plants and helps reduce landfill waste.

Taking advantage of vermiculture to make worm compost is similar to having an ant farm or beekeeping. You mainly provide the creatures with the materials they want and need. In our case a pleasant environment and kitchen leftovers and they merely go about their business living. The leftover product, compost, is in return something you want. Both sides are happy.

And the stuff you want is the worm castings. This outstanding organic fertilizer is like high octane racing fuel for your garden plants. Red wigglers will flourish in a storage bin eating their food, again your scraps, digesting the scraps and leaving behind excellent organic, environmentally friendly worm castings in a moderately small amount of time.

The majority of garden shops will supply worm compost. The various types of compost are often referred to as “black gold” and worm castings is some of the best “gold” out there. It is sterile, clean, and practically odorless. There aren’t health risks if you handle it with your bare hands and it will not hurt the natural creatures in your backyard. Finally, if you haven’t guessed, it will noticeably improve the plant soil, promoting the health and growth of all your plants.

Aquiring Some worm castings – As mentioned earlier you can buy worm compost from your local greenhouse. If you want to take full advantage of vermiculture you can get started quickly by investing in a pre-built worm composting bin. Several of those sold online will come with some red wigglers to get started.

If you are a little adventurous or a regular do-it-yourself type person than making your own worm bin can be completed in a single afternoon. A home built worm bin will most likely only cost a fraction of a commercial bin and red wigglers or red worms can be bought from a variety of sources, local and on the Internet.

Taking Care of Your Worms – Vermicomposting can be an easy process if you attain the correct information. It is rather easy to watch over worms in composting bins. After just a short period you will get use to caring for your compost pile and you will come to think of the composting worms as your pets. Only your composting worms should be much cheaper than the average pet.

Consider using this as a chance to teach your children about science, gardening, and helping to protect the earth. Opportunities for education are priceless moments.

Organic is widely becoming the most desirable way to garden and eat food. Using an organic fertilizer relieves the stress of worrying about chemicals contaminating your vegetables and fruits. One organic fertilizer is worm excretion or Vermiculture. Using worm compost will bring you a hardy, healthy crop. Here are the simple steps needed to create your own worm compost.

Purchase a Container

The most recommended material for a worm compost container is wood as it absorbs moisture and insulates the worms. However, there are some who prefer a rectangular plastic container, although these tend to make the compost soggy. The optimum size for your container is eight to twelve inches deep.

Aerate the bottom

After choosing your container, you must now drill holes for release of excess moisture as well as for allowing air flow. Each hole should be at least two inches apart from the last and spread across the entire bottom. Once this is completed, place the container on some bricks to keep it off the ground. This step allows for the air to flow around and through the container. Another bonus to this step is that a tray can be placed underneath the container to catch any excess fluid which can then be used as liquid fertilizer. If you notice your compost seems excessively wet, simply add more holes to the bottom.

Line Bottom with Shredded Newspaper

Shred newspaper into one inch wide strips. Dampen the paper strips with water in a spray bottle until damp. Add about a cup of sand for the worms digestive tract.

Collect Kitchen Scraps

Just as you would save leftovers for your home composting, you will need to save your kitchen scraps for your worm compost. This should be started at least one week prior to purchasing your worms. The best foods are egg shells, used tea bags, coffee grounds and raw fruit and vegetable leftovers. The foods you want to avoid are meat, bones, cheese, milk or mayonnaise and salad dressings.

Buy Worms

The best worms for compost are red worms or red wigglers as they thrive off of organic materials such as rotting vegetables. The standard amount of worms you will need is about two pounds for each day of food waste. This works out to be approximately two thousand worms.

Cover the Container

Worms like it dark and moist, so cover with a wooden board when outside. This will also keep away predators. Inside, heavy plastic will do.

Collect Worm Excretions

It takes about 4 to 6 weeks to notice the bedding is darker and in 2 to 3 months there will be little left to the original bedding. To collect all of the castings or compost at once, empty the bin on a tarp or old shower curtain into piles. Shine a light so the worms go to the bottom. Scoop the castings off the top until only worms are left. Start your bins over with some of the castings in your new bedding.

Organic growers are more careful about what and where their liquid organic fertilizers come from. Hence, this article discusses how liquid fish emulsions are made. First of, they are mostly made from the Menhaden fish which is not considered a human food source. However this fish is used for making oil and animal feeds. The waste from the production of this fish into oil or animal feed is the ingredient used for making liquid fish fertilizers.

The first step is to cook the fish and to squeeze its juice and oils by pressing. The oil is removed while the leftover solids can be ground and baked into protein meals and fed to animals. The juice of the fish is brought to a boil until it becomes more concentrated and results in a fish emulsion.

A small amount of phosphoric acid is added to the fish emulsion to lower the pH. Lowering the pH makes the liquid fertilizer more acidic, which prevents it from decaying and fermenting into gas. Before phosphoric acid was added in the manufacturing process, containers of fish emulsion were known to burst from fermentation. Because the amount of added phosphoric acid is so small (less than one percent by weight), the product is still considered organic.

Standard composition of organic fish emulsion fertilizers is about 5% Nitrogen, 2% Phosphorous, and 2% Potassium. It also contains micronutrients that are vital for promoting plant growth.

Depending on their proximity to the sea or fish waste sources, many organic growers are daring enough to make their own fish fertilizer emulsions to cut down costs.

Many organic fertilizers are slow acting. Not fish emulsion. The nutrients in fish emulsion are released almost immediately. That’s why it is particularly good for seedlings and transplants–it gives them a jumpstart. Gardeners either water the diluted liquid fertilizer into the soil or spray their plants for a foliar feed.

As with the use of all fertilizers, application instructions should be followed strictly. Remember to dilute it in the recommended percentage to prevent damaging seeds and young plants. Only mix the amount you are going to use that day because after it has been mixed with water its potency will be lost when stored. And keep the mixture away from heat to prevent deterioration. Since its made from fish, brace yourself for the pungent odor but this will disappear in a few days.

Production of liquid fish emulsions fertilizers is environmentally sound from start to finish. Only fish parts that are unused or are considered as waste by fish and feed processing companies are used. Thus, the use of fish emulsions organic fertilizers thus decrease toxins in our food and helps make zero waste possible.

The compost is deemed black gold by garden enthusiasts and is rich mixture of worm castings and organic matter that I don’t even consider using as application for individual plants. I prefer to use the vermicompost for actively aerated compost tea which is a process I will cover once I’ve finished harvesting the compost. The worm compost is ideal for this process because it is rich in microbial life that nourishes the plants and provides them with the symbiotic relationship necessary to imilate nutrients from the soil and in turn, nourishing whomever consumes the plant.

Today, I took the contents from one bin and put them into the other, having emptied it and refilled the empty bin with bedding and new food scraps. This will attract the worms from the lower bin filled with the compost into the upper bin since they are hungry and I will be able to use the compost without worrying about the little wormies..

It is a good experiment for little kids, and is a fun and interesting way to get rid of your kitchen waste. At least for someone like me, I’m sure people can think of better hobbies.
