Welcome to the Farm!

WoRmECYCLE is an experiment in Community Supported Vermiculture  to promote the benefits of worm composting. It is a small, local CSV consisting of three multi-tray worm composting units. The flagship of our operation is our year-old, 5-tray Gusanito WormWrangler Worm Farm (available through http://wormswrangler.com/). This unit and our original 2 lbs of worms served our family of six extremely well last year, producing approximately 20 lb of castings, a constant supply of worm tea, and an amazing herd of red wigglers. To handle the anticipated increase in compostable material, we recently added an additional tray (six trays were estimated to be maximum capacity for the base by the supplier) and constructed two additional stand-alone towers. The new towers were built using stackable, deep propagation bins (available through http://www.growers-inc.com/03an-dpflats.html). The bottom tray of each is lined with a sheet of semi-permeable root barrier cloth to prevent worm exodus. Another layer of root barrier cloth covers the top tray, which is currently covered by extra bins turned upside down. These extra bins will be used to expand capacity when necessary. The two new towers are propped up on bricks over two copper trays that were previously under house plants.
