Thread: Worm farming aka Vermiculture

The night-crawlers are also very good bait for fishing.

Absolutely! Fish go crazy for them!

Fish breeders use worms to get the breeding into a frenzy!

I have a very small farm in Ubon and last weekend built two concrete containers to hold waste for decomposition. Is it possible to buy some of your African worms. I am totally new to worm farming but keen to go eco on my farm.

I'm not in the country right now.
There's likely someone localy who has worms.
You can also look around a small local river or stream and dig some up.
You can find native worms there under trees where it's moist and the leaves have been building up for years.

alien worms are causing havoc in the uk
in some forest areas.

^more eco-alarmist nonsense.
Studies in Vietnam show earthworm presence is net a benefit for soil health.

Have both. Brew vermitea and use it as a drench or foliar spray and watch that garden jump. Can even fix you up with a brewer. Use the castings in potting mixed with biochar (rice hull). Top dressing lawns. Even as nutrients for hydroponics. Great stuff.
For those wanting compost with a kick, I compost pig manure with biochar and EM. Alive with the good guy microbes get those roots working.

Earl we have a mushroom farm so lots of left over packets of saw dust and whatever else they put in them. Saw a place that said you could use them in worm farming. We also have Fish pond with 2K Pla Nin, we current use a high grade fertilizer to produce algae. From what I can see this would be good for that. The fertilizer runs about 900 baht a bag so not cheap. Like everyone else looking for a starter batch.

I see you a rider are going to Khan Kean Bike Week?

We live in Udon and will be going to the bike week.

old thread... but maybe yer still around. how much space do you need to grow worms? I live in a condo and have an unused patio... would a 120litre trash can work?. How much casings and how often can you expect from 120litres?
yeah its easier just to go buy a bag at jatujak, but like the idea of not throwing away scrap food, and harvesting my own potting soil.

Great looking worms. Do you sell them in the BKK area? I am in the market for at least a kg. Needed for a worm far/ science fair project. Much thanks!
