Red Worms Composting
Red Worm compost is one of the richest, most nutrient filled natural fertilizer that can be used. Red Wiggler, red earthworms, or just red worms all produce exceptional compost for your garden, flower beds, lawns, or other plants, through their worm castings.
Red Worms composting has been used for a long time as a natural fertilizer. Of course these worms naturally live in the ground and it has long been their job to breakdown larger food items into a more nutrient rich biodegradable form. Worms are just doing their job of breaking down the food; but at the same time are producing a high quality compost that can be used for many purposes.
So, if you would like to harness the power of the red worm and its red worm castings; consider starting a worm farm. One of the easiest ways to get started on a small scale is with a bucket worm farm. All you need is a bucket with some holes at the top, worm bedding, soil, moisture, worms, and some worm food.
When using your worm compost on your lawn for example, you can use it in a similar fashion to other fertilizers. Simply spread the worm poop evenly throughout the lawn as though you were salting a steak. Its best if applied when the ground is a little moist. Then simply water the lawn as usual, and you should be able to notice a much greener and healthier lawn coming in.
You can also use this red worm compost on your garden. The only word of caution is to avoid applying the compost directly on the edible parts of your garden; try to keep to the dirt surrounding. In fact, you can also make a compost tea out of your red worm compost.
Overall, red worms make great pets, are easy to manage, and produce a highly usuable compost for your gardens, lawns, flower beds, and much more.
