Affiliate Disclaimer

Hi. Adam Jones here. I’ve always believed in transparency on the web and so I am disclosing that I’ve included certain products and links to those products on this site that I will earn an affiliate commission for any purchases you make. My goal with the blog is to help educate you on the possibilities of worm farming, but please understand I am doing this as a for-profit business.

The site has grown so big at this point that it is nearly impossible to go back through and list each and every program that I have an affiliate agreement with. Given this, you should assume that any links leading you to products or services are affiliate links that I will receive compensation from just to be safe. I only promote those products or services that I have investigated and truly feel deliver value to you. Examples would include the banners for BlueHost and reviews for books on Amazon.

TGVermiculture is also a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. Please note that I have not been given any free products, services or anything else by these companies in exchange for mentioning them on the site. The only consideration is in the form of affiliate commissions or compensation as an advisor for a few companies.

If you have any questions regarding the above, please do not hesitate to contact me by using the contact page. It can be accessed on the menu above.

Cheers and good worming!

Worm bedding. What's hot and what's not?

Bedding is so important for your worms. It's where they hang out when they're not eating. Or they're eating their bedding. It provides a safe place for them to hide if the conditions in your worm farm are less than favourable. So what do you put in the bin for your worms to live in? The following list is not exhaustive, but it's a good place to start. Regardless of what is used for bedding, it should always be prepared. Typically this means soaking it in water for (about) twenty-four hours before putting it on the farm and then leaving the bedding for a couple of days to settle down. If you can add a bit of bedding from another farm, it will kickstart the microbe population. Leaves collected and kept dry. For new worm beds, soak the leaves in non-chlorinated water for a few hours then pour off the excess water. Dried leaves are both eaten by the worms and decompose naturally. This also serves as a pest guard when adding food. And they add a fresh, forest flo...

Worm Tea or Not Worm Tea?

This is the big question that keeps coming up in forums, on Reddit and various Facebook groups. What do I do with the run-off from my worm bin? Isn't that the Worm Tea that we've all heard so much about? Do worms actually wee? Many people believe that the runoff is the worm tea that we've all heard about. This is incorrect and can be dangerous! To start with, worms have neither kidneys or a bladder, so it's not worm pee. The runoff in the reservoir is moisture that has collected and drained through the worm bin. Leachate is the result of the decomposition of the organic waste that's fed to your worms. It may contain phytotoxins (that can harm plants AND humans) and are created by bacteria that aid the decomposition process. This waste liquid is being released from the cell structure of the organic waste as it decomposes. Don't worry! Every worm bin has a mix of good and bad microbes and as long as the good outnumber the bad, everything is okay. ...
