What will your worms give you from your worm farm?
Liquid fertiliser: This is called worm extract. It is a liquid that is produced in your worm farm and is high in nutrients. It contains microbial life and is great to put on plant leaves and into the soil as an organic fertiliser. We dilute this 1:10 and use it as a fertiliser for all our pot plants.
Compost: This is called worm castings. This is what all your waste from the worm farm will turn into. It is too rich to grow food directly in, but you can mix it into potting soil and into the garden as a fertiliser. It will also be high in microbial life, worm eggs and worms. The more life in your soil the better. We use 10% in our potting mixes and a handful under every plant in the garden.
Worms: You can put them into the garden, feed them to chickens use them for fishing or pass them on to another gardener!
