Understanding Red Wigglers
Red Wigglers (Eisenia Fetida) are the superstars of composting worms! These amazing creatures need oxygen, moisture, and bedding materials like cardboard, coco coir, peat moss, or straw to thrive. They happily munch on almost anything that was once living, except for meats and dairy. Red wigglers can tolerate temperatures from 5°C to 30°C, but they flourish best between 15°C and 25°C. Proper air circulation in and around the worm bin is crucial for their well-being. A general rule for feeding is a 2:1 ratio – for every 2 lbs of worms, provide 1 lb of food per day.
The Power of Worm Castings
Worm Castings (worm poop) are packed with beneficial microorganisms that work wonders for improving soil health and promoting robust plant growth. These natural fertilizers provide essential nutrients and enhance soil structure, leading to stronger, healthier plants.
Discover Worm Tea
