Uncle Jim's Worm Farm specializes in
vermicomposting, the process of utilizing worms to
convert raw fruits and vegetables into earthy compost
for gardening and other uses.
3. What Is Vermicomposting?
Uncle Jim's recommends the use of red worms in
composting because these worms thrive in composting
bins. They break down materials quickly, and they live
comfortably in Fahrenheit temperatures between 55
and 77 degrees. Other worms, such as nightcrawlers,
should not be used in worm bins as they require much
cooler temperatures and may die in a composting bin.
4. What Is Vermicomposting?
Once you've set up your worm bin, red worms will
break apart food scraps and the bin's bedding in 12-16
weeks, leaving behind a dark-colored fertilizer rich in
nutrients. In fact, the fertilizer contains five- to 10-
times more nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus than
regular soil. This nutrient-rich fertilizer can be used in
potted plants, soil mixes, and throughout your garden.
