Worm Farm Home

[shipahoy41]

I like to go to thrift stores and flea markets to find insulated containers for my worm farms. I love to fish for Bluegill and Shellcracker. My worm of choice is the Red Worm or the Wiggler worm. No drainage holes are needed so the worms do not "Escape" at all. I use a heated long needle to place air holes at the top of the containers. This lets it vent gasses without letting the worms escape. The garden mixture is kept damp by just a damp newspaper placed on top of the soil. Once or twice a week they are fed yellow corn meal. That is all they get. Corn meal and a dampened newspaper works great.

I have recently moved mone into the garage so they will be further protected from this Alabama heat. The larger containers are the type I use to raise them in. The smaller container is what I take to the bank with me fishing. They will grow and reproduce in each container. When I get too many worms I just put half of them into the garden and let them do wonders for the tomatoes and bell peppers.

Here are a few photos of my containers. I would love to see what others are using.
