Worm Farming Or Composting?

What's the difference? Well, they're both great for gardens aren't they? YEP. How do I decide? Composting breaks down green matter..clippings, wood chips, leaves etc. producing heat when breaking down and making great natural garden mulch/fertilizer. Usually the compost pile needs to be turned to help break down the matter...Some compost tumblers are made to easily turn the compost and break it down. The compost has to be completely broken down and not 'hot' to place on your plants.Now, worm farming or worm bin composting is not the same thing. worms eat and break down kitchen scraps fruit rinds, banana peels etc....[don't use meat or dairy], creating wonderful worm castings that are put on the garden..worm castings are always safe for even delicate plants, has NO smell and can be created in your home or outdoors. Worms can be raised in plastic tubs or wooden boxes. Many folks buy worm compost bins, there are several types available online for sale. Castings also make compost tea for plants or gardens.Worms love the aged compost in your garden..BUT,they can not survive in the first type of compost above if it is still 'hot'.Does this help you decide?
