worm farms
Invertebrate composting systems
Worm farms are containers or systems where worms—typically red wigglers—are raised to decompose organic waste into nutrient-rich compost.
The practice ranges from small household bins to commercial operations.
Worm farms produce vermicompost for gardening and generate worms sold as fishing bait or for other composting systems: We started a worm farm to handle our kitchen scraps.
