Poppy, I think you have a good idea. Growing food and possibly worms is good. You start out small and grow with your business. There are co-op groups that...

Hi Barb, thanks for responding. I'd love to sell organic but it's pretty expensive to get certified. So, even though I grow organic, I can't say that because...
Ok, I'm looking at the price of the vermiculture bins, and reading about the make it yourself bins in "My Worms Eat My Garbage". I'm also thinking of how many...

What is the optimum temperature for Eisenia fetida? Also what kind of worms are sold in bait shops? Since I have added much organic matter into my garden I...
Sounds like a great idea. I started out with a rubber maid bin, but I kept mine outside. The good thing about having the worms on the inside is you get to...
I was told if the temps comfortable for you it's comfortable for your worms. I would say a nice comfortable range is 65-85 F. I've read they have a tolerance...
Hi, You can use pheretima worms for your garden since you use organic matter. They will burrow deeper than redworms and as long as you have plenty of compost...

I've not heard of the pheretima worms? Are they good in heat? I have truthfully never seen a worm in Florida outside of the bait shops. If I ever find one...
Poppy, don't feel bad, I haven't met any worms in my garden either. Some sort of worms crawl out of my mothers garden when it rains real hard, but she tells me...
