Raising red wigglers to produce the extremely rich castings


When your food scraps pile up, don’t throw them out.  Get yourself some red wiggler red worms!  They are only 1 -3 inches in length, and are about as thin as a pencil lead, but don’t call them little.  When these guys group together, they become a voracious force, consuming anything in their path.  Mountains of vegetable scraps wouldn’t stand a chance.  The worms will break them one bite at a time.  But don’t fear their powerful passion, encourage it.  The food they consume gets digested, and transformed into some of the most nutritious material that lawns and gardens could grow in: worm castings!  These worm castings are 7 times richer in phosphates, 5 times richer in nitrogen, and 11 times richer in potash than the average lawn soil.  This valuable substance is a result of your trash!  Don’t supply local trash heaps with your waste; give it to some red wiggler worm!    By far, these guys are the best gardeners on the planet, and will only help out your lawn or garden or both! Decrease waste, decrease the need for earth-destroying chemicals.
