Worm farming has been around for years on various scales. While the reasons for worm farming are not widely known, those who participate are big believers in the benefits that these worms have on the environment.
As you can imagine, the environment and our bodies are full of man-made chemicals, playing havoc with our own immune systems and that of the planet earth. I know. It will take concerted efforts to see any change in today's society.
But what's wrong with helping our ecosystem for the sake of our futures? With that lofty goal in mind, some have chosen the occupation of worm farming. It's safe, natural, and healthy in many ways.
Worm farming offers variety including setting one up with earthworms, catalpa worms, meal worms, red worms, or grub worms. You can try having more than one kind, but there are benefits to keeping them in separate containers.
With separation of each type of worm you can detect which varieties are progressing and at what pace. Another benefit is having them separated for the different reasons you would want to use them. One reason for keeping them separated is to make sure you have the correct temperatures and the correct conditions for each type to thrive and prosper.
Which worms are edible? At least from a human standpoint? Earthworms, meal worms, and grub worms are. Maybe you don't want to partake of this sort of exotic delicacy yourself. It may just be a little too safe, natural, and healthy for your tastes!
But what if you could extend the life of your cats or dogs by adding the cooked worms to their dry food that you've made yourself? You'd be surprised that animals that wouldn't normally eat worms can actually thrive very well on their nutritive value.
Worm farming is actually less expensive and less dangerous than your average farm. After all, you don't need tons of employees and expensive equipment to have a worm farm. You can have your own little worm farm for your own personal benefits. Encourage your kids to join in and use it in class for show-and-tell time.
It's a novel way of getting up close and personal with natural science. Little gardeners can enjoy the benefits of this safe farming. And if you are raising the edible worms, you won't have to worry if your tot does experiment by popping one in his or her mouth!
Although some worms are not among the edible worms list, they are still safe and natural to use as fish bait.
Sure, the worms like the grub worm isn't a friend if you have vegetable garden, but in some cultures, this worm is a delicacy. Now didn't you learn something new about worms today?
