Worm Farming on the Homestead
Some people farm cattle or sheep and some.... farm WORMS!!!
This post may interest you... IF... you garden on the homestead or you fish for food for your family. Having worms (red wigglers are best) are great for both fishing and putting into your garden for soil enhancement. I liked the art of keeping worms when I was not traveling full time to preach as it is useful and shows God's amazing creation order. It is a great chore for children to learn as well. Like everything, many will make it all complicated and sell you fancy worm set up's but it is simple and here is how:
1) get yourself a square plastic tote. As big or as small as you want to keep for the amount of worms you want to farm. Drill a bunch of 1/2 air holes in the lid so it can get air when covered up
2) drill like 6 1/4 inch drain holes along just one edge about inch up from the very bottom of the tote
3) fill it with some good soil and small pieces of damp not wet shredded newspaper then mix it all up and make it all, moist NOT wet! (they eat the paper)
4) next either buy on line or go catch a bunch of the red wiggler worms by digging and place them in the soil (make sure your soil is like 8 inches deep )
5) lay a piece of card board over the top of all the soil and keep it damp. I dip it in water then let it drip out. (more so in summer of course like daily) You do not want wet soil or dry soil..... just damp to touch. I also like to gently shake the tote several times a week to aerate it for them. Also it is ok to gently dig through it to see how they are. They should be near the top, firm looking and active. If not they are too wet to too cold or too hot. (you can even move your worm farm into the basement in the winter to)
6) now just put the cover on and keep them in a shady cool place out of the reach of predators. Prop it up like 2 inches so the tote liquid drains towards the drain holes you drilled on one end and place a catch pan under it to get the worm juice. (that gets saved dumped onto your garden plants at the base in the summer) Unless you have a huge batch of worms and a big container you do not get much juice in my experience)
7) every 6-9 months take out all the worms, and take their old soil and in the warmer months put it gentle turned into your garden or mulch bin. It will have worm casings in them and they are great for the soil/garden. Then start it all over with fresh soil and shredded wet newspaper.
That' s about it.
Note:
Some people if they have a good location near a lake or river.. will even sell fishing worms or breeder worms to others to start worm farming.
Also if you have chickens, they love to get tasty worm treats as a help to their diet.
Check on them daily, keep them moist and in the dark, feed them crunched up eggs shells, corn meal, sliced up orange peels, kitchen green scraps or more newspaper sprinkled on top ... just not too much food at once, watch and monitor it as they eat it up.
Then... when you are ready to go fishing for food, just dig into your worm farm box and go get some fresh fish. When you are done fishing, just toss the extra worms back in the soil and they will keep making more lil worms for you. If your worm box gets too crowded start another tote or you can remove out worms and put them in your mulch pile, garden or growing containers. You will have more produce from your hard worm farm work for sure!!
That is my wormy post for you today. Enjoy this simple but amazing homestead activity and send me pics of your farm operation.
