What is a Worm Farm

Some people raise chickens while others raise livestock. If you want to help cultivate the soil or restore its nutrients, then you build a worm farm instead of buying it from the supply store.

The nice thing about creating your own worm farm is that it does not cost that much. The only thing you will need are 3 or 4 stackable bins or crates made of plastic, wood or any other light weight and waterproof material, a few worms, a strip of insect screen for the bottom, shredded newspaper, garden soil or potting mix, water and good scraps.

When you have all these materials, it is time to build your worm farm by first putting some holes on the lid and on the bottom. The number of holes will depend on the size of the box or bin. Just remember that this should be evenly spaced to allow oxygen to enter and excess water as well as worm waste to drain out. The strip of insect screen should then be placed at the bottom so the worms do not fall out.
