Worm farms, worm compost, and worm castings tea are major buzz words in the gardening community (particularly with the organic gardeners). All the cool kids have them. Why not you? So consider this post your official invitation to the popular table and get ready to make your very own worm farm. Then, watch your garden flourish.

First, you should know that worm farms should not be a costly venture. Use what you have and be creative! Soon, your worms will be happily converting household scraps into liquid (and natural) fertilizer for your herbs, vegetables, and flowers.

To make everything easier, Suzi Franks (of 2Womenon2Acres.com) created printable instructions on building, maintaining, and utilizing your very own worm farm. I’m a huge fan of Suzi’s website which is inspiring, well-written, empowering, and easy to navigate. She faithfully posts her monthly to-do lists, garden updates, and projects which make for both informative and interesting reads.

So, here’s the printable how-to:  Setting Up a Worm Farm

    Worms…eeewww…just kidding! Worms are great for the garden!
    I was shovelling a pile of dead grass a few weeks ago and while doing that I saw quite a few worms. Each time I saw one, I would take it to my garden. I was doing that back and forth, I’m pretty sure my neighbors thought I had gone mad.

    *raises hand* Yeah, we’re worm fans here. Between gardening and fishing, we love worms. LOL!

    The tea? Um. Maybe not so much. =/

    Lacy: What a great idea, I do compost so do get the worms working in the garden.

    I’ve been considering worm farming lately, mostly because it would be wonderful for my chickens to have them for treats. I couldn’t handle them (yuck), so would have to talk hubby into helping. hum….still in the thinking mode.
