Hi all

Just thought Id better come along and introduce myself.

My name is Ronnie and Im into worm composting in a big way, so much so that Ive built a hobby into a thriving business.

Me and hubby run Wormcity an online site selling wormeries and worms.

So if you need some advice, let me know and I might be able to help.

Hi All

thats fine ! i'll just queue them up and answer in one go !!

so far .......

Is the stuff they produce suitable for all plants

yes, the vermicompost is brilliant, a little bit goes a long way
as log as the liquid leachate is dilluted this is fine on plants to.

What are you going to be growing - apart from worms?

In my own garden ?
Potatoes, lettuce and tomatoes.

Can you tell me why i need a wormery.What benefits does it offer over putting everything on the compost heap

from an answer i made on a different forum
Vermicompost contains worm mucus which absorbs water faster and holds it better than normal compost
Vermicompost makes plant nutrients more available, worms concentrate minerals in their castings in a form that is easy for plants to absorb
plant growth stimulants such as Auxins are produced in the castings, these hormones stimulate roots to grow faster and deeper.
worms neutralize soil pH, cast analysis shows that the product coming out of the back end of a worm is closer to neutral than what goes in the front end.
its been found that earthworm produced compost (vermicompost) dramatically increases germination and growth in many plants. Adding only 5% of the compost to commercial growing media (95%) significantly increased plant growth
Analysis of earthworm castings reveal that they are richer in nutrients than surrounding soil, often 3 times more calcium, several times more nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. (depending on what was fed to the worms)
