Worm Farming The Basics by Paul Abbey

Some folks choose to cultivate chickens chickens while there are others who prefer livestock but if you want to help the soil and restore all of it's lost nutrients then what you should do is build a worm farm yourself instead of buying one. The nice thing about making a worm farm is that the price isn't that much. The only things you'll really need are 3 or 4 stacked bins or plastic bins, wood or any other light and waterproof substance, a few worms, and some insect screen to go on the bottom torn up newsprint, yard soil or potting compost, water and good scraps.

When you have all these materials, it's time to commence building the new worm farm by poking some holes in the lid and on the bottom. The number of holes depends on how big the box is but you need to remember that the holes should be evenly spaced to allow oxygen to enter and excess water, as well as worm waste, to drain out. The insect screen should then be placed at the bottom to keep the worms in.

Now that you've finished on the outside it's time to go to the inside by filling the container with newspaper. You should put three quarters of this inside and make sure you dampen it with water before you add the garden soild or even potting mix this is just to make sure that the worms eat the scraps you give them. Once everything is ready, it is time for you to show the worms their brand new home. Some people will pour in about a thousand of these worms and as long as you keep them happy, they will breed and you'll probably lose count of exactly how many you have.

But now what are we supposed to do with the other bins or boxes? Well here we go, the final step is to put the other containers atop the first one.

If you are knowledgeable in the dietary habits of worms a few examples of these include coffee grounds or tea leaves, smashed egg shells, fruit peel, hair clippings, stale cookies and cakes, wood dust, plate scraps, wet cardboard, vacuum debris and vegetable waste. In short, worms love to eat dirt and leftovers but try not to put too much in since you might over feed them. the best way to determine how much is enough would be to place a small amount in at first and then watch and see how long it takes form them to eat it before you put in more food. Since it's a big area it'll also help to place their food in a different spot every time.

Watch your worms constantly so that you're sure that the shredded newspaper does not dry out and if it needs changed do make sure to replace it.

Naturally, poop will accumulate in the bottom of the box but that waste product is also known as vermicast and vermicast helps plants grow. The only way to get to itwithout letting the worms out is to pull off the lid and just set it under the sunlight for a while. Worms don’t like sunlight so they will naturally look for cover and you'll have an easy time collecting the vermicast and closing the lid.

The worm farm is a great tool, and to help you grow flowers, fruits or even veggies and all that's required is a bit of willpower to get the help from these tiny creatures.

An introduction to earthworms by George Oliver

The animal kingdom is divided into two subkingdoms, invertebrate and vertebrate animals -- animals with back-bones and animals without backbones. The invertebrate group is distinguished by nine phyla, or divisions. In this group there are over 500,000 known kinds of animals, ranging from the lowest form of animal life, minute single-celled protozoa, to arthropoda -- crabs, insects and spiders. In the vertebrate group there are well over 30,000 known kinds -- fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals.

When it is stated that in this vast array of creatures the lowly, segmented earthworm is probably the most important to mankind, most may find that illogical and unreasonable. Yet, few creatures equal the burrowing earthworm as being essential to better health and greater growth to plant and vegetable life. Therefore, indirectly, it is of the utmost importance to man.

The burrowing earthworm is Nature's plow, chemist, cultivator, fertilizer, distributor of plant food. In every way, the earthworm surpasses anything man has yet invented to plow, cultivate or fertilize the soil.

While it is unquestionably true that plants and vegetables grow and reproduce their kind without the aid of the earthworm, most naturalists claim that all fertile areas have, at one time or another, passed through the bodies of earthworms.

It is also true that the finest plants and vegetables become healthier and more productive through the activities of this lowly animal, which the ordinary person considers useful only as bird food or fish bait.

The earthworm has been playing a very important role in the drama of plant life from time so distant that scientists can merely guess as to the age of this invertebrate animal. Regardless, scientific men are agreed that mankind may rightly acknowledge the earthworm as one of his best friends.

In this chapter, or lesson, the reader will be presented with a brief genealogical background of the earthworm and the manner in which it has indirectly aided mankind by directly aiding plant life. This background should help the reader to understand facts regarding the earthworm which should be known to anyone interested in gardening, farming, orcharding or poultry raising.

If must first be realized that there are worms and 'worms.' All are invertebrate animals. This work shall be focused on only the phylum annelida.

The division of invertebrate animals, of which the earthworm is a member, is composed of five families or classes. These, in turn, are divided into two orders. The phylum annelida, the entire division of earthworms, contains upward of eleven hundred species.

Of this extensive array, we shall concern ourselves only with earthworms, for there are marine worms, swamp worms and beach worms, many of which appear to be 'just worms.'

While all annelida are, more or less, closely related, each specie has distinct features. Some have habits quite foreign to other species. Some prosper only in certain, specific environments and die if transplanted elsewhere. Some have definitely formed heads, with whiskers, teeth and eyes. Others have no heads, are toothless and eyeless. Some worms are hermaphroditical, others bisexual. Some live exclusively in water, others in soggy soil, others in decayed animal matter (manure), others in decayed vegetable matter (humus).

Low as earthworms are in the scale of life, they show unmistakable signs of intelligence. Charles Darwin's experimentations with them conclusively proved that instinct alone could not guide them so consistently. (See Darwin's famous work, The Formation of Vegetable Mould Through the Actions of Worms, with Observations on Their Habits.)

Some earthworms come to the surface of the soil and can crawl a great distance, especially in rainy weather, when their burrows or tunnels are flooded. All throw their bodily excrements, technically known as castings, behind them. Some species throw their castings above the surface of the soil, forming small hillocks or mounds.

Countless thousands of years before the rocky surface of the earth disintegrated to form what we call soil, an extensive list of animals and plants lived in the waters. Marine worms were undoubtedly present in those obscure ages.

In time, as the waters receded, various animals and plants evolved certain anatomical organs to meet the new conditions. Some marine worms acquired physical characteristics which permitted them to live, first in very marshy ground, later in 'dry land.'

The phrase, 'dry land' should here be qualified, for, in the strictest sense, there are exceptionally few spots on the face of the earth that are dry. No creature can live on, or in, dry land. It is a common remark, -- breathe air -- but what we are actually doing -- "what all living things are doing -- is breathing nitrogen dissolved in water.

We should keep this fact regarding the vital need of water constantly before us as we study the worm and its relation to plant life, for both must have moisture to live.

Now that we have cursorily traced the earthworm from its parent environment to the so-called dry land, we will focus on those known to science as Oligochaeta.

This group is composed chiefly of terrestrial worms, and is the subject of the book Friend Earthworm.

The earthworms, like all other families, is sub-divided into various groups, but for our purpose all we need know are the common names for this class. These are orchard worm, rain worm, angle worm, dew worm, brandling, compost worm, night crawler, fish worm, night lions and similarly descriptive names familiar to certain areas of the United States.

Let us now combine all these common names and visualize the last earthworm we saw.

In size, it may have been from two inches to perhaps a foot in length. Although, twelve inches is long for an earthworm on the North American Continent, except in very damp forest lands.

In considering an external description of the earthworm, we find all species so much alike that few can distinguish one species from another without careful examination.

All are 'headless,' eyeless and toothless. There are no external antennae or feelers. From tip to tail the body is composed of ringlike segments. A short distance from the 'head' is seen a band, which is lighter in color than the rest of the body.

That, briefly, describes how the earthworm appears to the naked eye. The earthworm's internal system is highly complicated. Yet, paradoxically enough, it is magnificently simple. Picture a flexible metal tube the size of a lead pencil, in which is built a plant capable of refining gasoline from crude oil. In a comparative sense, the earthworm's system does to soil what the modern refinery does to crude oil.

The earthworm has a multiple system of hearts, minute tubes circling that part of the alimentary canal between the pharynx and the crop. Through a complicated system, these hearts supply blood to all parts of the body.

Minus lungs, the earthworm 'breathes' through its moist epidermis or outer skin. The blood corpuscles are colorless and float to the surface of each segment where they absorb oxygen.

Under an ordinary magnifying glass, the pores of the various segments are visible. If one were to gently squeeze an earthworm, minute drops of yellowish serum would be seen coming out from it.

This serum is composed chiefly of oil of high medicinal value. Experiments for its extraction, discussed in a later chapter, are now in progress. It is hoped that this oil may be extracted in quantities sufficient to encourage production.

Except for a number of hearts, all the vital organs of the earthworm are under the previously mentioned band, which zoologists call the clitellum. This band is the chief characteristic of the earthworm, distinguishing it from all other worms except a few leeches and a few other marine worms.

Under this band, in compact uniformity, are seminal vesicles and receptacles, testes, ovaries, oviduct and egg sac. Directly behind these is the crop, where the food is held until the gizzard, just beyond the crop, is ready to accept it. Next follows the intestine, a distinctly oval shaped tube, and then the rest of the alimentary canal to the vent or anus.

Our earthworm is bisexual, containing both male and female organs of procreation, and must perform a reciprocal act of copulation to fertilize and be fertilized.

The sexual act of the earthworm, usually occurring in the cool hours of the early dawn and twilight, makes an interesting and curious study of nature's method for propagating the specie.

Neither animal has external sexual organs, though the pores, through which the seminal fluids appear, are visible under a small magnifying glass. The sexual act is not preceded by any display of amorous cooing or lovemaking. The worms, driven solely by instinct when the procreative glands demand relief, seek a position that brings their bands together and remain thus, quite motionless, for as long as fifteen minutes. If exposed to a bright light during the sexual act, the embrace is broken. Worms, though sightless, are very susceptible to light.

During the act of coitus, each worm exchanges male sperm, impregnating, or, at least, theoretically impregnating, their female ovas. Also during the act, there is an increased flow of the fluid which keeps the entire length of the worm's body moist. This fluid forms the capsule in which the eggs are deposited. It is heavier and thickens rapidly.

When the hymeneal act is completed and the earthworms separate, this fluid forms an outer band. The new band or shield begins to move forward, eventually dropping from the earthworm's 'head.'

During the forward movement of the gelatine-like band, the impregnated eggs are held firmly within. As it drops off the earthworm, it closes into a yellowish-green pellet or capsule, slightly larger than a grain of rice. This capsule resembles, to a remarkable degree, a very small currant.

Earthworm capsules examined under a powerful microscope show a lack of uniformity in the number of cells. There will be, however, from three to fifteen fertile eggs in a capsule.

Earthworm eggs hatch in about 21 days. The newborn appear as short bits of whitish thread about one-quarter of an inch in length. In 12 to 48 hours, they become darker but are visible to the untrained eye only after a painstaking search for them.

Once hatched, it is a case of each worm for itself. Close observation seems to lead students of these lowly organized creatures to believe their mortality rate exceptionally low.

Worms begin to mate from 60 to 100 days after birth, depending upon the richness or poorness of the soil in which they live or in which they are cultured.

Mating follows at periods from six to eight days. If we are to follow the average fertility of each capsule laid, that is, three worms, one mature worm will beget over one hundred and fifty worms each year of its life. Each mating, should produce twice that number, or over three hundred worms a year.

Certain species of earthworms, particularly those that come to the surface and crawl about during wet or rainy weather, seem to be chiefly active during the nocturnal hours. Other species -- which we will discuss later -- are, apparently, active throughout most of the day and night. This species seldom, if ever, comes to the surface, depending on the porosity of the soil.

Except in highly porous soils, the earthworm must eat its way through. Having no teeth, everything before it, if not too large to swallow, is sucked into the mouth. It is a ravenous eater.

Every morsel of soil and decayed vegetable and animal matter taken in by the earthworm passes through its digestive system. This is equipped with a gizzard-like organ. Here the food value in the swallowed matter is extracted for use by the worm. The rest is carried by muscular action down through, and out of, the alimentary canal. This waste matter is called castings.

Start A Home-Based Business: So What's The Catch by Don Penven

Stuffing envelopes, answering e-mails, putting Google ads on websites, completing surveys are just a few of the "Money Making Opportunities" I looked into when I searched for the income I needed to be fully retired. Something I could do from home.

I figured that I worked for over 50 years for someone, somewhere, and My dues were paid in full. But a problem existed-how can you tell a Real opportunity from a rip-off? Once I clicked on those little ads that populate website after website, my daily influx of emails increased by about 900%!

If my checking account was flush, I would have bought into some of that stuff. But it wasn't so that fact was a blessing. In all I spent a little over $100, but in a sense, I did get some value out of it from the experience I gained. As for what I did buy-it was crap. I began to think, look Don, you are just a high school graduate with not quite one semester of college. Try Walmart-they need greeters. That's honest work. And of course you have the fast food industry.

For the past 10 years I earned a good living writing complex technical manuals for a manufacturing company. The commute was 42 miles round-trip each day. What with gasoline prices being what they are-it may be more economical just to stay home. Yes-stay home and run my own business.

I'm not very talented in lot's of respects, and I know nothing about running a business. The awakening came like a bolt out of the heavens-affiliate marketing-touted one entrepreneur, Now, how does that work? Well, basically you sign up with a retailer and then sell their products. But I don't have a storefront, I don't have a website, and door-to-door? Perish the thought.

Affiliate marketing does have a simple side. Although many alternatives exist, I'm only going to tell you what I am doing-just to keep it simple. So I fired up my laptop and went to ClickBank. CB is one of the world's largest retailers of electronic products- electronic books and software. I signed inas an affiliate, filled out some online forms, and then explored CB's "Marketplace."

CB has a nearly limitless inventory of "How-To" e-books on just about any subject: Home improvement to healthcare, pet training to worm farming, gardening to rocket science (well, not really), and so forth. I decided to sign on as an affiliate on two subjects: digital photography and weddings. Why? Because I used to be a wedding photographer! I have since added a number of other affiliate relationships including treating high blood pressure, which I have, removing spyware and malware from computers, topics I deal with daily, divorce-been there, done that and affiliate marketing, which is what I do and want to help others to do too.

ClickBank gives me a "hoplink," which I include in the articles I write (like this one) that I post on FREE article directories.

Well I had some problems with this article-writing bit. I write "technical articles" so I knew little about affiliate marketing, writing good quality articles and knowing where to post them. So I made one more on-line purchase-an ebook that taught me the basics of how to write and get my articles posted. It cost me about what I pay for a tank of gasoline for my compact car. My only other expense is the electricity to run my computer!

Success is measured step-by-step. As my articles improve and they draw more people searching for answers, my income improves. Some article sites share the revenue with the authors that they collect from those little ads appearing on the article page. So I earn income even if no one buys my affiliate products.

And I do pray a lot-but not for the money. I pray for the inspiration that allows me to write articles that help people find an answer, to fix something or to solve a problem. If I can do this, in the long run, the income will take care of itself. Look, someone put me on the right track by sharing the information I needed to make this work. I'm just returning the favor--kind of like "Pay it Forward,"

The title of this article asks a question: "So What's The Catch?" Well, my friend, the catch is that it takes consistent, conscious, concerted and persistent effort to develop an income from affiliate marketing. More than 90% of those people who take a shot at Internet marketing fail--mostly because they give up too easily. If you do not believe you possess any of the above attributes, then checkout the jobs at Walmart.

Worm Farming Business by Anna M. Hartman

Worm Farming Business - The Basics Why would anyone want to start a worm farming business? What do you do with a bunch of worms? Most worm farms are started in order to get the product that the worms produce when fed organic material similar to that used in a compost pile. This final product is called castings, and while it's technically worm excrement, it's also a great fertilizer or additive for garden soil or potted plants.

Using worms to process compost and create castings is 'vermicomposting', and the finished product is called vermicompost or vermicast. To get high quality castings from an earthworm farm, it's necessary to start with the proper type of worms. There are certain types of worms that like to living in a container and process organic waste. The wrong type of worm may burrow down and will not process much of the food into castings. If you're just beginning, you'd want to buy your worms from an experienced vermicomposting supplier.

Grow the farm in a container. Start by putting some sheets of shredded newspaper to serve as bedding, followed by a few handfuls of soil. Moisten lightly with water. Add some organic waste for food, and then the worms. Cover with something that will keep out the light while retaining moisture, such as burlap or newspaper. After a couple of weeks, take off the cover and add some more food. Continue to do this as the worms multiply. If the worm farm starts to smell bad, you may be supplying the worms with more food than they can process. Also, be sure not to add any animal products, milk products, or oils, as food, since they can all smell or attract pests.

When the bin is about half full, it's probably a good time to harvest the castings. There are a number of ways to harvest the castings. Many people just push everything to one side, being sure to pull out any large pieces of non decomposed food. They then add the bedding, dirt, and food to the empty side, and wait a couple of weeks for the worms to move over to the new side, leaving rich vermicompost which they can then remove and use in the garden.

The worm casting compost or the worms themselves can be sold via the Internet and create a profitable, low labor business for the entrepreneur.

The final product is called castings, and while it's technically worm excrement, it's also a great fertilizer or additive for garden soil or potted plants.

Earthworms farming by Medakin Devin

Keen gardeners are always trying to find better ways to make their soil rich and better for their flowers and vegetables. Although many gardeners still don't realize it but earthworms play a huge part in your garden. Earthworms farming have become very popular, and it can be a fun way to get the kids interested in gardening.

Worms can be found in all types of soil, but the healthier your soil the more worms you will have. The more worms you have the richer your soil will be, so it is an excellent idea to encourage them in your garden. Healthy soil is classed as soil which is full of organic matter, and keeps moisture in it well. Earthworms don't have lungs, but can survive in healthy soil due to the oxygen which is found in it. They then realize carbon dioxide through their skin back into the soil.

There are three different types of earthworms, garden worms, night crawlers and manure worm. All of them vary in size and nature, and all do different jobs in your garden, Earthworms farming, is at its best if you can encourage all three varieties into your garden. As all of these worms, help your garden to flourish, they convert organic matter into nutrients which feed your flowers and vegetables. Also the worms dig a tunnel system through your soil, loosening it up and allowing it to breath. If you do not have any worms in your garden and want to begin earthworms farming then simply add organic matter to your soil. We all produce so much household rubbish now that if you can recycle some yourself then it will help the landfill problems. The worms will be attracted to it and begin their job; if they begin to run out of organic matter then they will simply go elsewhere. Ensure that you keep them well fed and they will maintain your garden well.

You can also earthworms farming on a large scale; it has been turned into a multimillion dollar business. These businesses breed the worms to sell, and also they can produce worm tea, which is extremely good for the soil. By soaking the worm excrement in water, it produces a product which is great to use as fertilizer. These farms are very similar to what happens within a household garden but because they are contained, what the worms eat and how they fertilize the soil can all be controlled. The temperature and drainage are essential to a successful earthworms farming system, both of these have to be exactly right during the whole process to ensure that you produce the perfect, worms and soil.

Whatever size earthworms farming you decide to have, you need to ensure that it is manageable for you. The principles are always the same, no matter what size your earthworms farming is, if done correctly then it will not only be profitable but excellent for the environment. Worms are an important part of our ecosystem, and by earthworms farming you can help the environment. More and more people are trying to do small things, like recycling and if we all did a small amount then it will help to achieve a better planet.

Home Based Business- Vermiculture by Pratiksha

More and more people are turning to home based business to earn extra cash. Others get lucky; they earn big and make it their only source of income. They start with businesses that do not require too much upkeep, like a few hours a day. Choose trades that will not put additional pressure to your existing job. Since it will be home based, there would be no additional time spent for commuting. Start work when you reach home. Take for example vermiculture.

Vermiculture is the cultivation of earthworms to produce compost for plants. Vermicompost or vermicast is a very potent food for plants. It is a complete fertilizer preferred for organic farming. Utilize it as top dressing to prevent loss of moisture, sprinkle in your lawn as a soil conditioner, or mix in water to form vermi tea. Vermi tea is also used as a soil amendment it is even known to cure some plant diseases like leaf curl and tomato blight. Other vermi tea users add molasses and sea kelp to further increase the amount of beneficial microbes. You can sell this vermicast to gardening enthusiasts or to garden and plant supplies. If you have the capacity to produce more, sell it to organic vegetable farms. The earthworms can be sold also per piece or per kilogram. This could be used as breeders to produce their own vermicast or as high protein animal feed.

To begin your vermiculture project, buy the right type of worms for decomposing. African night crawlers and red wigglers are the type of earthworms for the job. These are not the same type of earthworms that are seen in your lawn. Prepare a bin for your worm. Bins of different types are available in the market. There are stackable bins, towering bins with drains to collect and feed to plants. Build your own worm bin if you like. Make a box out of wood, about 2 feet width by 2 ½ feet length. Install hinges for the wooden lid. Drill small holes around the perimeter 1 ½ inch from the top, this will serve as ventilation for the bin. Drill 2 bigger holes, about ¾ inch diameter along the length and at the bottom of the wall. Drill two more same size holes directly on the opposite side. A PVC pipe of the same diameter should pass through these holes.

Install mesh screen to cover the ¾-inch holes. Drill several small holes on the PVC pipe. The purpose of this pipe is to introduce air from the outside into the bottom of the worm bedding. This will help in the rapid decomposition of the bedding. An alternative way to aerate the bottom pile is to turn it once a week, so that materials at the bottom are placed on the top. Once the bin is done, put bedding materials for the worm. Soak 2-inch strips of newspaper in water, wring, and fluff it. Mix with decomposing leaves or garden cuttings. Add crushed eggshells to neutralize acidity. The worms are now ready to be transferred to the bin. Feed the worms with kitchen scrap, vegetable trimmings, no meat, fruit peelings, but no citrus fruits. Cover each feed with beddings sprinkle a handful of soil to help the worms digest their food. Keep the beddings always moist.

Go Green with Worm Farming by Robert Sessions

Worm farming can be a fantastic strategy to enhance your garden and cease throwing out yourkitchen garbage. That's right, your used coffee grounds, watermelon rinds and banana peels can assist your tomatoes, peppers and eggplants grow faster, stronger and larger. When your kitchen's garbage is eaten and digested by worms, they turn it into an organic and potent plant supplement identified as worm castings. Start a worm compost bin today and you will produce a steady supply of rich, brown fertilizer high in nutrients and free of damaging chemicals. Your flower and vegetable gardens will thrive and you will save dollars.

The very first thing you will need to begin worm farming is really a bin. It is possible to make your own worm bin from one of those plastic or rubber storage bins. This how my wife started out her vermiculture hobby. She had me drill a few holes on the side of the bin so her worms get lots of air. It is possible to cover those holes with small pieces of window screen, fine mesh cheese cloth or something similar to keep the fruit flies out. I just used a 1/64 inch drill and that was tiny enough. I did drill lots of holes. Drill 1/4 inch holes inside the bottom of your worm farming bin so it can drain and prevent the castings from getting so wet that your worms drown.

The home produced bin worked fine and you possibly can get away with that if you choosewant. This Christmas, however, I bought my wife a commercial worm farming bin. It didn't truly cost a lot and it works very much better. It's developed to keep out fruit flies and has a spigot at the bottom to drain the worm tea. Worm tea will be the super nutrient rich liquid produced by the worms. Put a cup or two of this nutritious, organic fertilizer into your watering can, fill the can with water and water as usual.

Prior to putting your worms in the bin you'll want some bedding. Shredded newspapers function excellent. The bedding must be moist but not soggy. Use a spray bottle to keep the bedding just perfect for the worms. Newspapers are readily available and you possibly have a stack of them in your house already.

Place some dirt in the bin as well. It doesn't take a good deal but worms don't have teeth. They need some grit to aid in grinding up their food and digesting it. You can also use rock dust or powdered limestone, but regular dirt out of your yard will do the job great.

Have we forgotten anything? Worms! You won't get far worm farming without having worms. Earthworms from your garden won't do the job. Earth worms need to stay in soil. Worm composting or vermiculture worms are known as red wigglers. They will love the surroundings that you've produced inside your worm bin. How many have to you get? That depends on the size of one's bin. The worm to garbage ratio is commonly 2:1. That means that if you're going to put a half pound of garbage into the bin on a everyday basis, then you definitely have to begin with a pound of worms.

Peek into your bin everyday at when you first start to make certain you get off to a very good start. Keep the bedding moist and the bin ought to stay in a spot that's about 60 to 70 degrees. Quite a few worm farmers place their bin in the garage or the basement, even the kitchen when it's too cold. Fortunately, we dwell in Southern California and are able to leave our worms outside during the winter. When the weather is warm, maintain your worm bin in the shade as the summer sun may cook all of the worms. Your worm bin must not smell. If it does, then you definitely most likely need some more bedding.
