When is vermicomposting a better option than backyard composting?

Vermicomposting is perfect for the apartment dweller or for those that do not have a large yard-or any yard at all! Because worms consume waste so quickly (they eat their weight in bedding and organic waste daily), it is ideal for kitchen scrap disposal, since food woould not linger long enough to create an offensive odor. And since the worm compost bin can not be exposed to extreme temperatures, the ideal storage spot is right in your home.

What is vermicomposting?

Vermicomposting uses worms to convert your organic waste to compost rather than the microbial-dependent decomposition process used in backyard composters. The Redworm, also known as the Red Wriggler or Eisenia foetida, is the shining star of vermicomposters, although European Night Crawlers are a fine substitute.

What is composting?

FAQ
Composting is another form of recycling. It is the controlled microbial decomposition of organic matter (such as food scraps and yard trimmings) in the presence of oxygen into a humus- or soil-like material. Backyard composting of certain food scraps and yard trimmings can significantly reduce the amount of waste that needs to be managed or put in a landfill.

How do you get into my backyard?

Platinum Pools official site
Every yard needs an onsite evaluation to determine the best access for our construction equipment. The amount of space available on either side of the residence will determine what size bobcat we can use. Sometimes we will have to take down portions of a fence or wall, with permission from a neighbor if access is limited or use a smaller machine. Occasionally we are able to enter from the rear of the property.

How does vermicomposting work?

Compost harvested from a worm compost bin is primarily comprised of nutrient-rich worm castings (worm droppings), and to a lesser degree, decayed organic waste. When worms eat the kitchen waste you throw into their bin, what they really seek to consume are the nourishing microorganisms decomposing the scraps. Why, you may wonder, is worm poop such a valuable soil conditioner? The answer: their castings contain eight times as many beneficial microorganisms as their food supply did.

Is not vermicomposting a smelly process?

Like backyard composting, a properly maintained worm compost bin woould not stink. If your bin does smell, it indicates anaerobic conditions. Common reasons for the occurrence include overfeeding your worms and bins that are too wet. Make sure the worms have finished all the kitchen scraps before adding more, and gently fluff bedding to aerate. Add more bedding or use a turkey baster to suck up excess moisture.

I have ticks in the backyard, how can I get rid of them?

This is very difficult, if not impossible to achieve. As ticks are very susceptible to desiccation, removing trees and shrubs will increase the amount of light to the ground, thereby decreasing the humidity levels and making conditions unfavourable for tick survival.
