Commercial Vermiculture are very practical, widespread, easy to use and are very aesthetic. Typically, those buying with a small amount Worms begin. Choose Red Worms or Tiger Worms. However, if you already have a suitable home for your worms do not have to spend the extra money.

A couple of old concrete washing channels in a shady spot near the kitchen door or near your area plant material (or both) is ideal. Are the elimination increase the fertilizer tanks are easy to make. Leave the cap and put a filter in the hole so that excess water can drain.
Fill the tub first with compost and mixing in a handful of dolomite or agricultural lime, along with a half bucket of soil. Place a bucket in the drain, and this mixture with a fine spray of water until it is quite saturated, and begin to drip into his bucket.

Council of the population of worms and the area starting with an old sack, jute, wet cardboard, carpet old or similar. Worms usually live underground, so they are in an environment to thrive, which is cool, dark and wet. You can buy a tub of 500 – 1000 worms to start. They are used by professional breeders worm available and can be mailed. Many garden supply centers also have them.

Can alternatively vary their diet:

– A half a bucket full of water and cow manure or horse, broth mixture and poured over the surface;

– Peel a blender full of junk mail (not citrus or onion or meat) to make a mixture of slop and poured over the surface;

– Lazy potatoes pumpkin or fruit, placed only on the surface;

– A half a bucket of compost on the surface again.

The worms also:

 • shredded and soaked cardboard, paper

 • leaves, dirt, hair, eggshells

Plants of the onion family (including garlic, leeks and shallots) and citrus fruits contain essential oils. If any of these messages are in the food, the worms out of their homes away from the smell.

Within months, the tub with a writhing mass of worms must be completed, and it is time established in the tub second.

Half of the second bathtub filled with the same mixture of compost, lime and earth. Put a filter on the drain and mix water until saturation.
Burrow through the drain in the channel first and put in the socket. Insert a drip hose only in the first tub until it is half full, to be very careful not to forget and fill it. Exit the Hessian exclude up to light. The worms in the first bath are in the top half prevent migration to drown, too.
