People from all over the world are getting into worm farming because it benefits the world in different ways. The finish compost produced by the worms is very rich and can be used as manure to enrich the soil where you can then plant vegetables and flowers. The worms produce the compost from household garbage which also helps the environment in recycling our waste material.

The nice thing about having a worm farm is that the whole family can participate, if the parents are not there the kids can maintain the farm. This is also a good way for kids to learn about recycling at an early stage of their lives. They can also take the knowledge they know to school and educated other children on how a worm farm works. And as we all know that kids like getting dirty so they won’t mind at all managing the farm.

The compost that is produced by the worm farm can also be used on your lawn, trees and large agricultural land. But for large agricultural land you need to produce a lot of compost which requires that you have a large worm farm. You even find some farmers that produce a lot of compost from their farm selling the compost to other farmers and make some extra money on the side.

The reason why people like to use compost from a worm farm is that it is chemical free and is less likely to do damage to the plants then the fertilizers they buy from the market. And again compost turns to be better than fertilizer because it enriches the soil at the some time giving the plants the required nutrients.

On the other hand having a worm farm benefits the environment because we can recycle a lot of our household stuff. Things we can feed the worms is food waste and some non-food waste. Food stuff can include bread, vegetables, oatmeal, fruits and pasta just to name a few. The non-food stuff we can give the worms is paper items, soaked cardboard, hair, cotton and leaves. You can give your worms about a third of your household stuff.

When you take the step to have your own worm farm you are hitting two birds with one stone. The un-necessary waste being thrown into the environment is reduced since the worms make good use of the waste at the some time the compost produced from the waste helps us plant healthy plants that in return gives us healthy chemical free food.

Worm farming is very useful and exciting to us human beings as it helps us recycle some of our waste food and produce compost that benefits us in many ways. The compost produced by our worms can be used to enrich our soil for gardening, can be used for flower beds and can even be sold to make extra money.

Setting up a worm farm can be easy and can be done by almost anyone. As a beginner farmer you should know what type of issues may arise when managing your farm and some of them are listed below.

– Foul Smell

First let me make it clear that a normal worm farm doesn’t smell, you don’t find worms living under smelly conditions in the wild. Some farms can become smelly after some time and the main reason being that they are over feed which has to be reduced.

It’s very important to give your worms the right amount of food because if you give them too much they won’t be able to eat all of the food causing the rest to rot. Once the food rots it can cause all sorts of smell and even giving bacteria some room to develop and affect the worm farm.

If you find yourself in a position where by your farm has been over fed you should stop giving the worms food until they finish the rest of the food. Another thing to do is to stir the compost so that the worms can move around other places and eat the food.

– The Pests

When managing a worm farm not only will you attract worms but other insects as well. To help in keeping out unwanted insects you should make sure your farm is nicely closed at all times. A common insect that is known to infest a compost farm is vinegar flies. These insects are not harmful to the farm and are mostly attracted when there’s lot of food.

Other insects that are known to infect a compost farm are ants. If you see them in your farm you should know that the reason they may like it there is because the soil mixture is dry. To stop it from being dry you have to moisten the soil so the ones in the mixture can die and the others will become less attracted to coming to the farm.

Maggots are other insects that infect the farm. They are attracted to the farm by meat, if you give your worms some meat then you are bound to find maggots. To help stop them from coming to the farm you should stop giving the worms some meat which on the other side is not good for the worms.

In order to have a productive worm farm you should try by all means to stop pests from entering your farm and make sure you give the worms just the right amount of food for them to eat it all. Remember this will also help in your farm not to smell.
