Gentle reader, worm composting is fun! I’ve been doing it for years and I love it. I tried the bin composting, but was never really able to get it working right. The weather was either too hot or too cold, or my mix wasn’t wet enough, or wasn’t getting enough oxygen – it seemed like there was always some problem or another that I had to deal with.
Then I got into vermiculture – worm composting and it was so much more successful! I built my box, got my basics together, ordered my worms and in a week, I was in business! I was able to use up my kitchen scraps, lawn clippings, some small prunings, and the occassional newspaper and it all worked great.
The best part is that even in a harsh zone 9 winter, the worms seem to thrive and even in 110 degree heat, they keep on munching away at the stuff that I never could get to compost properly.
I also now have a free source of natural fish bait, and since I live near a reservoir, I use worms as bait all the time, though I’m still not a very good fisher person, and have yet to catch my limit – but I don’t blame the worms for that 
You can also give them or sell them to your other fishing buddies and be the hit of the trip – maybe they’ll even bring the beer this time.
Another great benefit is the worm castings because all my vegetables love them, especially my beans and tomatoes. The beanstalks grow tall and strong and my heirloom tomatoes are flavorful and juicy.
3 or 4 times a year i’ll take out a bunch of worms and put them where I think they’ll do the most good in my garden – in the vegetables, or around some flowers that I really like. So now my garden is green and lush and has lots of worms.
Truly a worm farm is much easier than composting, it actually works, and I am able to enjoy the numerous benefits year round. You should try it too!
