Factory is all set up - so once
you have a batch acclimated and ready I am ready for them. Your videos are

My Lanzones
(Lansium domesticum) that has been sitting on my frontyard without any signs
of fruiting for many years, all of a sudden fruited this year after just 2
or 3 months on vermitea and vermicast.

Christy,
I love your videos and I've learned a lot from watching.

Hi Christy, I wanted to tell you
how much I enjoyed your pod casts. I just found them by accident. I been
trying to figure this worm thing out for awhile. You did a good job of doing
that. Also, your pod casts were so friendly. I sort of felt like I was
sitting across the table from you.
I can't wait to get the worm tower and get started. Keep up the good
work Christy! your a special person!

Hi Christy.
The worms arrived today! I even saw one of the babies when I was
looking in my bin. I couldn't believe how tiny it was. :)
I live in an apartment building so the manager brought the package to my air
conditioned apartment so they were just fine. Although I wonder what she
thought of this box labeled "LIVE WORMS". :)
Thanks again!
Carla
Hi Christy,
Just to let you know I received the 2 lbs. of red worms Thursday, June 5th,
2008. I received them in very good condition and am very happy with them.
I'm using horse manure and they seem to be comfortable with that. I don't
know how long it will take for the castings to appear, or when to harvest as
of yet, but I'm sure that as I keep a close eye on things I will find out.
Thank you very much for such a wonderful product.
Best Regards,
Dave
Received worms yesterday and
they’re real healthy.
Thanks,
Michael
My worms arrived today and they
are in good condition.
Thank you,
Amy
Yes, they arrived on Friday and
they're great. Moving around and eating our veggie and fruit scraps already.
Thank you!

Christy,
I did receive the worms today and did not see any that were not alive. I
have transferred them to a 10 gallon tub that I modified with holes,
according to the directions. They are all moving and seem to be "happy".
Thank you,
Cathy
The worms arrived alive and
well, and are fast finding a new home.

Hi Christy.
Worms safely arrived yesterday P.M. While I've no experience or much
knowledge about worms, I'd say they were fat and happy. They've been
enthroned in nice new digs...with much to feast on to welcome their arrival.
Thanks Again. Larry D
Hi Christy,
Just wanted to let you know that we received our worms and they all looked
fat and happy .....even the lil' babies!!
Thanks again!

If you are interested in worm composting, then perhaps it's
because you're concerned over the health of the planet. If the health of
the planet is of concern to you then perhaps you're own health is something you
pay attention to as well. If that be the case then you need to learn about
this awesome product:
Worm composting
is an incredibly efficient way to convert kitchen scraps such as
newspaper, junk mail, vegetables, fruits, egg shells, coffee
grounds, paper and cardboard into nutrient-rich compost for your
garden. Most 'Master Gardeners' consider worm castings to be the
very best compost available. Your plants will thrive with this
all-natural compost. Sorting out the undigested scraps can be a
messy, inconvenient chore with ordinary worm composters.
The Worm Factory
automatically separates worms from finished compost. The Worm
Factory is easy to set up and easy to use. Place bedding and
scraps in the bottom tray then add your worms. Place the lid inside
the top tray to provide light cover with proper ventilation. As the
worms finish digesting, they will migrate upward into the tray
above, leaving rich castings behind. The concentrated liquid created from the
worm castings, also known as
worm tea,can be effortlessly drained as liquid
fertilizer from the spigot at the bottom of The Worm Factory.
It couldn’t be easier or cleaner. The lid also provides proper
ventilation so there are no unpleasant odors. Because it’s clean,
mess free, and odor free, composting with The Worm Factory
makes it possible to be placed indoors or outdoors for home owners
and apartment dwellers alike. In full operation, the Worm Factory
houses 10,000 to 12,000 worms, consumes 5 to 8 pounds of food a
week, allowing you to harvest a full tray of nutrient rich castings
every month.
Each Worm
Factory comes with simple but detailed instructions to help you
get started. The Worm Factory is made in the U.S.A.The Worm Factory comes in two colors, black and terracotta.
The black is constructed from high quality recycled plastic and the
terracotta is made with pure-virgin food grade plastic. Each
Worm Factory comes with a limited 5 year warranty on materials
and workmanship.
The Worm Factory
has a unique design which makes us much different from other upward
migrating worm composters and here is why:
The Smallest
Footprint:The Worm Factory has the smallest footprint. It
takes up 20% less floor space than larger units but there is no
restriction on how many trays you can stack. The Worm Factory
is capable of holding the largest capacity in the smallest area.
Expandable
and Manageable:
The Worm Factory is expandable allowing for multiple trays to
be stack on top of each other. As the compost shrinks, the trays
shrink along with it allowing effortless, upward migration for the
worms. The Worm Factory is also more manageable than other
composters. Compared to the Can-o-worms trays that hold about
22.5lbs of compost, The Worm Factory’s trays hold about
12.5lb of compost which make them easy to lift and restack for
people young and old.
Ventilation
Lid with Tips: Some
composters come with tight fitting lids. As compost processes, both
gas and heat are given off which must be ventilated. If poorly
ventilated, gas and heat build up and water is formed. With
increased moisture in the bedding, the amount of oxygen is depleted.
This fosters a chain reaction of anaerobic bacteria which creates
more gas, giving off an obnoxious smell of rotten eggs.
To operate an odorless worm composter at its maximum
efficiency, the bedding and food must have a controlled amount of
moisture and the maximum amount of air. This combination fosters
aerobic bacteria, the essential, most basic, single element which
worms consume.
With The Worm Factory’s unrestricting lid, the
loose fit provides maximum ventilation for air flow to get the good
bacteria for your worms and to prevent that rotten egg smell. There
are also composting tips printed on the lid for a quick reference.
Worm Bin
Instruction Manual:One of the best features of The Worm Factory is
the complete 16 page, illustrated instruction manual. Whether you
are an expert or a beginner, the manual will assure you a successful
outcome of recycling your kitchen waist and create the most nutrient
rich soil for your house plants, containers and garden.

"Teaming With Microbes: A Gardener's Guide to the Soil Food Web"
Sometimes scientists can talk over the layman's head and not even realize
that the message is not being conveyed. This book is written in a very
understandable language, that even a simple worm farmer like myself could
understand and relate to. A must read for anyone who wants to learn more
about the life producing your food.
Smart gardeners understand that soil is alive and what is in the
soil is what supports plant life. Healthy soil is exploding with life -
beyond the worms and insects we can see with the naked eye - there are a
multitude of bacteria, fungi, and other microbial forms of life vital to the
soil food web that sustains healthy plant life. Resorting to chemicals
destroys this delicate balance and results in an unhealthy situation for the
soil, the plants, and the environment. You can't destroy this balance and
not have an affect on the people, the children, family and friends. As
gardeners, farmers, and inhabitants of the Earth we have an obligation to the
next generation to leave behind a healthy soil. Venture beyond your
current understanding that good soil grows healthy plants and understand
why...This book available now from Amazon.com by clicking on the buy link.
