Real Savings on our Worm Factory® Vermicomposting Kits
A Three Tray system with one established tray of composting worms
Picked Up at Everwood Farm: $89.95
OR Shipped in the lower Western* states: $114.95
The Worm Factory® is a stackabel, multi-tray composting worm bin system. Worms begin eating waste in the lowest tray, and then migrate upward as food sources in that tray are exhausted. By allowing worms to migrate upward, the worms move themselves away from the finished compost that is then ready for your garden.
 
As waste composts in your Worm Factory®, moisture filters through the composter, dragging nutrient-rich particles with it. This liquid fertilizer, known a leachate, gathers in the collection tray below and can be easily drained from the spigot.

Our Worm Factory® Vermicomposting system is provided with one established tray of composting worms. This is approximately 1 LB of worms in 8 to 10 Lbs. of our custom worm bedding that insures good moisture retention during shipping and provides you with the very finest castings.

 Why Organic?
 
While one might not necessarily think of soil as “inorganic” in the sense of “unnatural,” many commercial soils include high levels of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, fungicides, and herbicides. Soil is usually designed to encourage rapid, healthy plant growth while discouraging undesireable insects, fungi, and weeds.  Commercial soils accomplishe this based on cost, where cheaper is better. Organic soil, by contrast, do not contain chemical amendments, providing a rich substrate for plants to grow, and use natural means - such as Beneficial Insects - to control pests.

 

Instead of using chemical fertilizers, organic soil is amended with compost from organic sources, and manure from organically-fed animals. It may also be amended with mycorrhizal fungi and beneficial bacteria which helps the plant to retain water and nutrients, along with organic mulch to aerate the soil and make it looser. Just like standard commercial soil, organic soil can be formulated for specific environments and uses, with varying pH balances and levels of nutrients.

 

For gardeners, there are several advantages to organic soil. Some gardeners prefer to grow organic, in which case organic soil is their only option. Organic soil is also less likely to produce harmful runoff which could cause problems in local waterways, making it a more environmentally-sound choice than commercial soil. Organic soil is better for the Earth and the garden, since it promotes slow, healthy plant growth, rather than rapid growth, which may strip the soil of nutrients.

 

What is Sustainable Agriculture?
 
Whether you're a beginning farmer, or an experienced agricultural producer interested in transitioning to more sustainable practices, you may want to start by learning more about the principles of sustainable agriculture and some of the "systems" approaches associated with it. We encourage you to visit the National Sustainable Agriculture Information Service. The publications in this series introduce and discuss concepts, and provide a general overview of planning and managing a more sustainable farm operation.
