The Wormguy
Wednseday September 9th 2009
We are running a special on worm castings. A 20 pound box for $24.00 prepaid. I am also looking for some used fishing equipment.
Fall came in awful fast up here in Maine, the nights are getting pretty chilly. It will be time to start the woodstove pretty quick. Im really behind this year i still have wood to cut and split.
As you probably know by now worms are the gardeners best friend. These little creatures are Mother Natures soil condtioners. Worms aerate the soil and the castings they leave behind are one of natures best fertilizers that you can use on about everything you grow. if you would like a regular supply of worm castings( black gold) as well as plenty of extra worms for your garden. You might want to start a worm farm. You will need some Red Worms or Euro nightcrawlers. You can get either from our website at www.berwickwormfarm.com. The common garden worm that you see after a good rain are not suitable for worm farming as the dont like the controlled enviroment.
Worms farms are supper easy to start and make. You can make it out of any suitable container. All you need is 3 ior 4 stackable crates or some other kind of container, made of wood or plastic or any other suitable lightweight and water proof material. your worms will live in these containers and slowly make their way up from the bottom tray into the container above it. The worms will be able to smell the fresh food in the container above it. this fresh food usally consists of fruit, vegetables, and other scrap food that otherwise go into the landfill. As the worms eat their way through these scraps they leave behind those castings which are a wonderful fertilizer sought after by so many gardeners and farmers everywhere.
