Tip and Hints
How to Feed Your Worms
Keep a container to put your vegetable, fruit, eggshells, and/or tea and coffee grounds in to collect enough to blend/mulch in a blender or food processor weekly.
You really do not want to “bother” the worms more than once a week, they do better if not disturbed so they can work.

Put some strip cut paper on top, and if it seems too dry add some waterto dampen the newspaper.
You do not want it too wet either. Keep the farm in a place that can be no colder than 50 degrees and a place than has light 24 hours. Worm Tea can be used full strength on sick plants. Use instead of water directly on the soil. Worm tea is not only a great organic plant food it is also a natural repellent for aphids, spider mites, scale and white flies. This product will not kill insects, but repels them with a smell not detected by the human nose. To use as a repellant spray plant liberally with tea full strength, apply again after rains. Worm tea is also good for covering large areas such as lawns, orchards, gardens, etc. This type of organic plant food is said to increase plant appearance and up productivity by 4-10 times. Plants really perk up with this product, almost over-night. It’s like having a compost pile in a bottle, much easier to use and its available year around. |
