Worm Compost
Our planet is running out of top soil and what’s left is lacking nutrition due to our planet’s many environmental problems. One answer to this may lie in worm compost. This is a theory that scientists have been testing in laboratories for quite a while now. They are now ready to approve this new type of composting.
While you may think that worm composting isn’t a good idea, you must stop to consider the fact that worms could actually help to save our environment. There are actually numerous benefits to this type of composting.
The most commonly used type of worms in worm composting are red wigglers. These worms are willing to ingest various waste products, leaving behind their worm castings (better known as worm poop). These worm castings can then be spread around as a type of organic fertilizer that is used to help plants grow quite well.
Whenever you want to start your own worm compost pile, you can either purchase red wigglers or you can get a jar and go out into your garden. While walking through this area you should be able to find some of these worms in the dark, moist areas such as those places that are covered by leaves. You can also use oregano stems to attract red wigglers.
Once you have some worms, make sure to keep them in a cool, dark, moist environment. They will then go to work for you providing you with fresh worm castings that your garden will love.
