MILAGRO WORM TIPS Summer Worm Compost Early summer is the consummate season for worm compost harvesting. If you've been backyard composting, now is the ideal time to use your finished product. Get your compost into every bed you are preparing. Don’t have worm compost ready for your summer planting? Start recycling your organic waste today with worms and you’ll have material ready for next year’s planting season. Collecting kitchen scraps and leftover liquids is just as easy as throwing them away. A couple plastic buckets under your sink will do. Pick a spot for your backyard composting out of direct sunlight and under a canale for greater success. Worms respire through their skin so moisture is necessary; but overwatering can drown your worms. Cover your worm compost with straw, an old rug or a layer of finished compost to hold in moisture and protect the microbes from ultraviolet rays. By adding worms to your compost, you strengthen the health of your soil to the greater benefit of your entire garden. |
