Diddly Squat Worm Farm

Diddly Squat Worm Farm We’re a small scale worm farm in SE Wisconsin. Eliminating the idea of waste. Hi! Thanks for checking out my page. Vegetables love worm castings!

I'm a small time worm farmer located in SE Wisconsin, with about 3000 redworms. I plan on scaling my little vermicompost system into a few CFT (continous flow) style bins in the near future. Follow this page, I'll be sure to post it with updates along this little and hopeful fruitful venture of mine. Uses for worm castings fertilizer are being discovered all across the planet. Some of the more pop

ular uses for vermicompost include: Flower Gardens
Vegetable Gardens
Tree cultivation

Worm castings used for flower gardens provide high levels of soil-boosting nutrients to produce hardy, fast-growing flowers. Roots develop much more strongly, reaching deeper into the ground and assuring robust plants throughout any spring or summer environment. Plants are hardier, and transplanting is more consistently successful. Flowers respond well to worm castings fertilizer because it delivers the essential nutrients plants need, along with plant growth hormones, in an easily absorbed, time-release manner. The nutrients in worm castings are readily available, and work synergistically with your existing soil to make the mineral reserves within your soil available when you plant need them. Worm castings also improve the ability of the soil to retain more water and help flowers resist root disease. Our worm castings grow tasty vegetables in the garden. Besides being loaded with nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium, worm castings also have the calcium, carbon, iron, manganese, copper, zinc and cobalt plants need. All of these nutrients and trace minerals are readily available to the plant through its root structure. Another great benefit of worm castings: no matter how much you put around your plants, it won’t burn them like chemical fertilizers can. Worm castings are completely non-toxic and entirely safe for the planet and its occupants. Because the nutrients are released over time, an application of worm castings typically lasts about 2 months. Best of all, it’s not uncommon to see yields increase by as much as 25%. The best results appear to come from combining worm castings with compost. This is a conservative way to maximize the crop without risk of favoring too much or too little of one particular nutrient. Worm castings and compost work exceptionally well together.

About 3 weeks ago I bought my first tub as a breeder bin. After sifting all the worms and bigger chucks with 1/4” screen strainer I got from Amazon, I then used a 1/8” screen for all the cocoons.

Well I know I have AT least 6 cocoons, and half a tub of castings. Being put to use with the seeds I’m starting !

Got these in last week.

Really looking forward to the squash.

From Mother Earth gardener: The seeds were found in 2008 during an archaeological dig on a Menominee reservation near Green Bay, Wisconsin. The dig was conducted by Canadian Mennonite University. A clay vessel, about the size of a tennis ball, was recovered; such devices were used in the region for seed storage. Sure enough, the vessel was found to contain seeds—in this case, seed of what was to become known as ‘Gete-okosimin’ squash. The artifact was carbon-dated to about 850 years ago, according to Susan Menzel of Chicago’s American Indian Center, in an article published by the Chicago Tribune.

This squash is known to of been grown by the Miami Nation 5000 years ago.

Stories like that is why I want to get into .

What are you growing this year?

Taking advantage of the nice weather and full sun. Harvesting my first tub of worms / castings!
