sweetgum grove farm vermiculture and worm castings



The photos to the right are of sweetgum grove farm vermiculture and worm castings. We started in earnest practicing vermiculture in early spring 2009 with about 2000 of Eisenia foetida or Eisenia fetida(red wiggler worms). Presently we maintain about 20000 worms and they multiply rapidly. Although the extremely cold winter of 2009-2010 has been challenging for the worms, I expect to weather the winter with only a small loss of our growing numbers!
