That right, it's a Caterpillar not a worm! |
If you use a compost bin instead of sending all your kitchen waste to the dump, you can turn it (eventually!) into a useful growing medium for your home grown veg.
An even better approach is to use a wormery, which is not as difficult as you may think. This has the ability to produce a potent liquid plant feed as well as the legendary "Black Gold" super worm cast compost.
Some gardeners swear by this "black Gold" and credit it with increasing crop production by over 20%. If you are looking at intensive food production in small raised beds, this is one of the secrets to a bountiful harvest.
Why should you build a wormery?
There are lots of good commercial models of a wormery out there, that will get you up and running fast. If you are thinking of getting a wormery but cash is tight, as it is for so many people these days, then I thoroughly recommend that you get a copy of the DIY Wormery Manual by Gareth Hogan. The DIY Wormery Manual explains how a wormery works, from a simple box through to stacked examples and then tells you how to build a stylish "Bee Hive" Version, to use or sell.

It shows you how to look after the worms, feed them and breed them. Finally there is some good advice and ideas on how you can use this knowledge and skills to make some money from your own Wormery business.
What it does not mention in the adverts is that at the end of the book is a link to an affiliates page where you can earn 50% commission rom the sale of The DIY wormery manual. This you can do through Clickbank.
Once you have learnt the techniques of attracting and forwarding visitors to the "Do It Yourself, Wormery Manual" sales page, there is no reason why you do not use these skills to promote and earn affiliate commission on other products out there.
TIP: If you have a Blog, I should think that the best way to go is to get the diy wormery manual and build your own wormery, while photographing and documenting yourself doing it.
