Advice on worm composting

Worm castings are great for feeding house plants, adding to seedling mixes and potting soils or top-dressing around plants. Worms like to eat food wastes such as vegetables and fruit peelings, pulp from the juicer, tea bags, crushed egg shells and bread. They also like small amounts of soiled paper and cardboard (such as shredded egg cartons). One of the great things about worm composting is that you don’t need a large garden. Worms can be kept outside, inside, on the balcony or in the garage and are especially ideal for units. In this video, Ellen Telander - Executive Director of the Recycling Association of Minnesota, explains the basics of worm composting. This is a nice introduction to worm farming from an organization dedicated to recycling. Details are also provided on how you can purchase your own worms through the RAMS website.
