As we’ve mentioned before, a vermicomposter is a great way to use the natural strengths of earthworms to produce rich compost, worm castings, and liquid fertilizer — but it’s also an excellent way to create a self-sustaining worm farm to provide wrigglers for your garden.
Worms are crucial in the aeration and enrichment of most soils, so it’s advantageous to dump a batch into your tilled garden soil on a regular basis. Your local birds will also appreciate the appetizers, so keep an eye on your garden’s new residents until they can make it underground.
