Harvesting worm castings? Vermicomposting in Montrose, PA
News Flash! Home Inspector Montrose, PA is also a worm farmer!
A home inspector that's a worm farmer? What's a worm casting? Simply put, it's worm do-do. Yes, I'm a home inspector serving Montrose, Great Bend, Scranton, and more areas in PA, but we raise red worms to help put our garden. It's a very easy thing to do and costs only a few dollars to begin. We started a couple years ago when a friend of mine gave me about 500 red worms. We fed the worms a daily diet of coffee grounds, old veggies and fruits and apple cores. After only two years our worm population grew to an incredible 25,000 (and that's estimating LOW!). Today I harvested the worm castings and placed my worms into a brand new worm bin that we built out in the yard.
Now I have over 200 pounds of the richest fertilzer money can buy. We'll have our third garden this year using the castings and our garden will become nuclear with the largest veggies, quickest growing and largest plants, with plentiful veggies. Don't be afraid, but here's what the little critters look like...
