Welcome to Mama's Worm Composting
Hello, and thanks for visiting my Worm Composters site. This site was built to help support my business and main website called Mama’s Worm Composting. Many of the links here will redirect you to the main site, but both sites contain valuable information about how to get started using worms for composting.
Beginning the process of composting with worms can be a little daunting, especially for those who are nervous around little squirmy animals. However, if you check back on this blog periodically for support and advice it will help keep you sane and help you succeed in raising your own herd of wiggly worms.
Roughly 30% of landfill space is taken up by our uneaten food. Help reduce that number while making rich compost for your garden by composting with worms.
Thank you for visiting Worm Composters, and I hope you return again soon!

Worm Composters: Let's Plant!
Photo
My family is moving... TOMORROW... to a home with a nice little backyard. Already my eyes are bigger than my stomach as I start to plan an enormous fall garden. But where will the kids play? :-)
There is no time like the present to get started planting and using your worm composting vermicompost as your fertilizer. Those of you who have been around here for a while will remember my winter veggie garden last year at Saaba's house; this time let's hope the house doesn't burn down! Check out that gardenHERE.
Please visit THIS SITE to learn about which vegetables are suited to fall planting in your area (scroll down to find your first frost date). If you're in the SF Bay Area, remember that I am now selling vermicompost, a rich combo of pure castings and partially processed horse manure that is FULL of baby worms and cocoons (perfect for aerating your garden).
In coastal California we have the luxury of being able to plant most anything year-round. Those of you in the colder states may need to get crafty with your greenhouse plans to make your winter vegetable dreams a reality. Check out free plans for greenhouses HERE.
Thanks for visiting Worm Composters. Good worming!

Patience is a Virtue
Tomorrow I will be going under the knife where my tonsils will be unceremoniously sliced from my throat. Sounds like fun, doesn't it? Sadly, the Brady Bunch recovery from a tonsillectomy was sort of a lie, and REALLY a lie when dealing with an adult's recovery from such a procedure. I will be in bed for a week and then home for another week.
For any new worm orders placed between now and August 30 you can expect shipment on August 30. In exchange for your patience I will be happy to add an additional 50% of worms to your order.
Thanks for your interest in Mama's Worm Composting, and wish me luck!

Worm Composters Now Has Castings Available!
Finally, after a year and a half, I have enough material to offer you some high quality worm castings for your garden! This material is more accurately described as "vermicompost", as it is not 100% castings. This compost is about 50-65% pure castings and the rest partially processed organic mulch and pure horse manure (no shavings). This is great stuff for your organic vegetable garden!
The compost is available for pickup most days in Oakland or Emeryville (depending on the day) and is just $20 for a 33 gallon trash bag full. Email me for an appointment!

Worm Composters New Product: Worm Tea Bags
Photo
Introducing a new product from Worm Composters and Mama's Worm Composting: Worm Tea Bags!
Contrary to popular belief, worm tea is not the seepage that comes from the bottom of your worm bin (called leachate), but is in fact a brewed "tea" that you make from finished worm castings and a catalyst (such as molasses). Be forewarned that using leachate as a foliary spray or soil drench can be risky business; the contents of the liquid coming from the bottom of your bin change in stability and nutritional content with changes in your feeding habits, changes in moisture content in the bin and changes in the weather. It is generally considered safest for your plants to use finished castings to brew tea.
Now at Mama's we've created a product that takes the guesswork out of worm tea for you! Commonly used to help reduce Black Spot, Rust, Powdery Mildew and pests in general, worm tea can be used as a foliary spray or as a soil drench for liquid fertilizer. Mama's Worm Tea Bags are a mixture of worm castings and a catalyst (ingredients below) to create an easy-to-use mixture of tea; simply shake several times over the course of 24 hours and then spray! For even more powerful results an aquarium aerator may be used to increase the number of beneficial microbes that are breeding in the mixture. When you're finished with the teabag, bury it in your yard; as the tea bag itself decomposes, the leftover worm castings will benefit your plants in the soil.
Each package comes with 6 tea bags and produces 1 gallon of worm tea per bag.
Price: $11.99 per container, includes USA shipping
Ingredients: worm castings, seaweed extract (Ascophyllum nodosum), micronized humic acids, mineral powder and other botanical ingredients.

How to Kill Fruit Flies in Your Worm Composters
It's taken me quite some time to finally figure out how to keep fruit flies and fungus gnats out of my worm composters, but after much exploration and failure I have finally discovered the secret. It is as simple as a large cotton (or other breathable) sheet draped over the entire worm composting system.
Fruit flies and fungus gnats breed either in the air while flying or on surfaces outside of the "nest" (aka: your worm composters). While it's almost impossible to prevent the incoming larvae that may exist on the skins of fruits in your worm composting bin, the addition of the thin fabric sheet prevents them from escaping once mature to continue the breeding cycle. When you lift up the sheet to feed or check on your red worms you may notice a few flies fly out; this is ok as long as you put the sheet back on when you're done so they can't get back in to lay their eggs!
At long last, I finally have indoor worm composters without a fly problem, and I owe it all to the extra bedsheet I had lying around. Want even more fly protection? Tape up a couple of fly strips along the interior sides of your bin to catch any newly hatched monsters as they crawl up the sides of your worm composting bin.
