Earthworms are beneficial for the soil and important for the environment.
Their gut provides plant beneficial microbes, castings are full of nutrients and ideal for soil application and they recycle waste into useful products; more worms, castings and microbial teas.
Bioponica has a simple method for raising worms at waist height in beds that stay cool due to the gutters that conduct heat away from the bed. When raising earth worms in the Worm Farm with a tank below the waist high beds, microbe tea can be brewed from the drippings of the worm bed. The liquid gets aerated and microbes fed with Primordial Soup Teas, an inexpensive organic feed that keeps the water fertile for the plant benefical microbes. Drench your plants with this liquid to populate the root zone with important bacteria while providing growth factors, enzymes and immune enhanment to the plants
farming is an efficient method of decomposing food waste and grass
clippings. Labor is reduced with waist high beds and profits are great.
Use worms to feed fish, chickens or sell to fish bait shops.
In an 80 sq.ft. grow
area, 20lbs of earthworms, fed an average of 50 lbs of waste per week, may yield 500lbs of earthworms, plus castings, in a year. The value of 500 lbs of
worms is approximately $10,000.
