What do worms produce in a worm farm?

In a worm farm, worms eat the food and kitchen scraps that would otherwise go to landfill. They produce "castings", or worm poo, which is an excellent plant food for your garden. Their urine also drains off at the bottom and can be diluted with 10 parts of water for a terrific plant fertilizer. The castings and urine have no smell.

What is the best way to regulate the temperature in a worm farm?

The ideal temperature for a worm farm so the worms can breed is 65 to 77 degrees Fahrenheit (18 - 25 degrees Celsius). If you live in a warm climate, place your worm farm in the shade, in the garage or shed, or even inside, as a properly managed worm farm has no smell. On a very hot day you can run cooling water through your worm farm (open the tap at the bottom) and then cover with a wet blanket or tarpaulin.


How can you measure the effects of a worm farm?

The main point of a worm farm is to divert food scraps away from landfill, where they decompose in anaerobic conditions (that is, without any air), and so produce methane which is a gas about 20 times more harmful to global warming than carbon dioxide. You can measure the effects by the amount of food waste you still throw away compared to the amount your worms eat. A worm will eat its own body weight in one day, so at the start, with 1000 worms, you can only feed about quarter of a pound (125 grams) of food scraps per day. Later, if your worm farm increases to 20,000 worms, you can feed much more. And a side effect of your worm farm is, of course, the worm castings and urine, which make excellent plant food for your garden.


What food do you put in a worm farm?
