Oh my! what an amazing experience owning my own 1200 worms is.   Folks this is quite something!

I was a tad taken back however when someone told me  that  these little guys (all 1200 of them) are very partial to a little diversity when it comes to meals.

Now if  you know nothing about being ‘a full on, you beauty, why didn’t I do all this before, in your face worm farmer’ - then this post could be just what you need.

If you are thinking about getting seriously into worm farming then you need to  know what to feed your new resident worms to ensure that they grow up to be healthy, happy worms.

Here is a sample Menu that I  was given when I started Worm Farming.

• FRUIT -  watermelon, bananas, mangos, grapes, peaches and nectarines peelings
• VEGETABLES - carrots, potatos, zucchinis, corn cobs, broccoli, beans and pumpkin peelings and scraps etc
• MEAL LEFTOVERS – cooked vegetables, stewed and fresh fruit
• OTHER FOODS – cheese, the occasional feed of bread, cake and biscuits. Egg shells (crushed), tomatoes,oranges and grapefruits.
• FROM THE OCEAN – seaweed
• TEA AND COFFEE? – Yes, like tea bags and coffee grounds
• FROM THE CLEANING CUPBOARD - vacuum cleaner dust
• HOUSEHOLD ADDITIONS - sawdust and soaked cardboard
• OTHER STUFF – hair clippings and aged pet poo.

Important: Ensure that the ‘pet poo’ you choose is free of vermicides as these are specifically designed to kill worms in cats, dogs and other animals.

And, another things folks, remember the little suckers only enjoy ‘aged poo’ in moderation.

Also – ‘Well Fed Does Not Mean ‘FAT’

‘Well Fed Worms’ however, will happily keep to their side  of the  business arrangement and manufacture , via their worm castings and liquid,  a premium and environmentally friendly fertilizer for your roses and other plants as well.
