Worm farming is cool!

Hi! I'm Piper.

My mom wanted me to start worm farming last year but I never got

a chance so I decided to take on the challenges of becoming a business

owner this year. I haven't started yet because we are planning on keeping our

worms in our cellar which snakes hibernate in every winter. And I don't know

why but I'm scared of snakes.

Anyways, I have found some very useful information I would like to share with you.

Here are 10 helpful facts:

1. If you're planning on starting a worm farm use red worms.
2. Never use colored newspaper ads.
3. When you start the worms out use garden soil, never potting.
4. Never feed the worms acidic, dairy, salty or meat foods.
5. Every so often you should turn their soil
6. Never pack their soil down to tightly.
7. If little tiny oval shaped specks start turning up don't worry these are eggs that may contain up to 20 worms only a few should hatch though.
8. Start your worm farm out with about 2 pounds of worms (if you have enough room).
9. The great thing about red worms is that they limit their population to how large their enviorment is
10. Burying your scraps helps reduce mold.

Hope these help!!!

I will try to post more tips every so often!

Long live worms.
