Almost 50% of the waste thrown out by households is food waste with the average New Zealand household throwing out 1.5 kg of food waste a day. It makes sense to turn that food waste into something useful.

Those that are new to worm farming or wonder why people have worm farms can find out more information here. Worms turn dying vegetation and food scraps into rich plant food for the next generation of plant life. So when planting or planning on planting a garden consider using worm castings as a soil conditioner or fertilizer to help your plants grow. Worm farming can be done from kids to the avid gardener in several different ways depending on how much worm castings or food scraps you might have or generate.

Types of composting worms include Tiger worms (Eisenia Foetida), Red Worms ( Lumbricus Rubellus), Indian Blue (Perionyx Excavatus). These composting worms are able to eat and live in peacefully and productively as long as their needs are met. 

You may want to know when you can collect the worm castings. After a couple of months the contents of the bin break down,  as they are processed by the worms. The worms produce the castings.
There are different methods of removing the castings depending on the bin. Check any instructions you may have if you purchased a worm farm kit or consult with your local worm farm expert.
