Two of the best worms for composting are red wrigglers and redworms. The worms also help to aerate the soil via their tunneling process, which loosens the dirt and makes it easier for plants to grow their roots and get what they need to survive. Since worms and plants don’t need the same kind of nutrients, the plants get the benefit of what’s left. The way this occurs is the worms suck up the organic materials and store them in their gizzards, then this breaks down and the worms use what they need for themselves, and the rest is extracted through their intestines as castings. They eat the materials listed above and leave their castings behind. The worms live in a bin of shredded newspaper or cardboard, soil or other materials, which is kept moist (but not soaking wet).
However, never use things like meat, fish, dairy, fats, human or pet waste or some breeds of flowers, such as peonies and roses. You use materials like shredded leaves, grass clippings, other plant parts, vegetable and fruit scraps (except for citrus fruits), coffee grounds, and egg shells. Yes, worms are fantastic for composting and produce their weight in castings, aka worm poop, daily.Ĭomposting is a method of speeding up the natural decaying process of organic materials and converting it into fertilizer. If you have a garden then one of the best things you can do for it is to feed it via high grade organic fertilizer through composting with worms.
