Does anyone have any experience with Worm Farms? Both selling worms and the compost left behind.?
What are the pitfalls / advantages to this kind of home based business?
Been doing it for 2 years.
It is a LOT of work with very little ROI.
My deal is that it allows me to be home with my kids so I take next to nothing for my time and that is ok for me. Teaching local composting classes is a decent source of monthly income for me.
If you are looking to make a consistent income, it is not for you. It is very seasonal, I sell worms March-October and that is it.
I would suggest looking into starting a website, long term rewards, not a get rich quick. You can check out my website if you want. The link is below.

I have been growing worms and harvesting their compost for 20 years.
However, you are not gonna make ANY money out of it.
Pitfalls: 1. worms are animals. That means that they can die real easily if things aren’t right for them.
2. To whom are you gonna sell the worms? Fishermen? gardeners?
3. To whom are you gonna sell the compost?
Advantages: The only advantage is to the people from whom you buy your stuff. They will make money off of you.
