Worm Farm – Wisconsin Garden Video Blog 284
Now how many husbands happily surprise their wife with a bag of worms? Mine did, and here’s the temporary home we made for these little red wigglers in our Wisconsin Garden video blog called worm farm part 1. Watch for part 2 “Worm Farm Condo” coming soon. After all, even worms need a place for social networking.

Good luck Lynn! I love your sense of humor. The comments below are correct. The smaller the food pieces the quicker you will get worm castings. You don’t have to cook the eggs for shells, just make sure you wash them before putting them in the worm farm. And if you forget, no problem. The worms aren’t going to die. Outside in my compost pile I throw garlic, onions, citrus and I still have worms eating everything. Smiles, Lark

Hi Lyn, I got mine ( 500 worms) from Jim’s worm farm a month ago! i put some crushed eggshells on my peat then shredded papers as well. I chop their food or blended (Kitchen scraps) for fast result. I also put some corn cobs ( worms like red wigglers like to crawl and stay in and lay their eggs on cobs).

I can tell you’re going to enjoy the whole process of worm farming. A wonderful medium for bedding is the cardboard from TP and paper toweling. Put that through a shredder and soak for an hour or so. Another thing I learned is to freeze all food scraps to avoid fruit flies. You really want to go overboard ……put the food scraps through a blender and make a smoothie. They have no teeth so they love it. I use the castings to brew worm tea. Have fun!
