Worms play a major role in the garden braking down organic matter to castings and produce micro-organisims that will bring nutriants to the plants.
for this reason i do not use chemical fertilisers such as super phosphates as these kill off microbes and as a result would have to use more fertiliser to get the same results









This is my worm farm that i built, it is available at Bob's Barn. As you can see it is a stacking system, as the worms eat through the matter and come to the top i will remove the top section where all the worms are, empty out the bottom sections and place the top section down the bottom a start the cycle again. im currently feeding the worms on cow manure that i get from my uncle.
Also at the bottom is a drip tray that catches all the fluids that I use to folia feed the vegetables.
