Some Information on Household Worm Factories

In order to preserve and save the environment the government has taken up certain measures.
One such measure is turning organic waste into compost.
This can be easily done with the help of a worm factory.
This can be easily done at home with minimal effort.
A worm factory can be kept indoors or outdoors which ever you prefer.
The process of turning this organic waste into compost is known as vermiculture.
It is best way of getting rid of organic waste and preserving the environment because the worms turn the waste into compost which can be used as food for plants.
The worm factory is a set of trays which can be kept inside or outside and they do not occupy much space.
Any species of worms will suffice for a worm factory, whether they are earth worms or whichever species.
The best part is instead of dumping your organic waste in the garbage bin you can give it to the worms to feed on.
The worm factory is not limited to residential use but also spans across commercial use.
Plant nurseries are using these factories to make quality compost for their plants.
The compost produces is of the best quality and grows healthier and stronger plants.
The organic waste is placed on the last tray along with worms.
The worms will begin to eat the organic waste and leave their excreta behind, this excreta is that is the compost for plants.
Once the bottom tray is filled up you can place the next tray so that the worms can move on to the next tray.
The process can be repeated over and over and once the trays are full you can use the excreta as compost.
If you are thinking that the excreta is going to be smelling you need not worry because if maintained correctly the entire worm factory is almost odourless.
The only smell you will get is an earthy scent which is quiet unnoticeable when kept outdoors.
This method of creating compost is a lot easier and faster than digging up a compost pit.
It is also cleaner and does not require much maintenance.
You can purchase the worm factory at a store or even online and once you have used them wash them and reuse them.
You will save a fortune on manure as you will be making your own and your plants will also be a lot healthier.
