It depends on how you’re selling it. Is it loose, or are you packaging it? In any case, you can probably advertise in a local newspaper or on the Internet to get yourself started.

i live in dallas texas and want to do a vermicompost. will the worms survive the heat? has anyone had success?



You will need to provide your worms with a lot of shade and make sure their bedding is deep enough and moist enough to give them a cool, moist place to hide from the heat.

Here’s a link to a power point presentation created by a vermiculture expert in North Carolina, which is a place that also has very hot weather.

When you go to the link, click on the "Vermicompost (Worm Composting) Presentation" link, which is under the "soil science" heading.

is it to hot in florida to vermicompost? i have read the worms might not like hot temps well at all?


No, it’s not too hot to compost with worms in Florida. No matter where in the world vermicomposting is practiced, the worms need to be damp, dark and well fed. Keep your bin in the shade and the worms will flourish. The fact of the matter, Florida is a great place to compost with or without worms. Our warm temperatures and graciously plentiful humidity make things grow fast including plants, worms and all the other flora and fauna found in compost piles. Compost happens fast in Florida.

Great sites for info on composting and vermicomposting whether in Florida or not are include;

is there any difference between vermicompost & manure?


Yes . There is a difference.

1 ) Vermicompost == Vermicompost (also called worm compost, vermicast, worm castings, worm humus or worm manure) is the end-product of the breakdown of organic matter by some species of earthworm.

Vermicompost is a nutrient-rich, natural fertilizer and soil conditioner.

The process of producing vermicompost is called vermicomposting .

The earthworm species (or composting worms) most often used are Red Wigglers (Eisenia foetida) or Red Earthworms (Lumbricus rubellus).

These species are only rarely found in soil and are adapted to the special conditions in rotting vegetation, compost and manure piles.

Composting worms are available from nursery mail-order suppliers or angling shops where they are sold as bait. Small-scale vermicomposting is well suited to turn kitchen waste into high-quality soil, where space is limited.

In addition to worms, a healthy vermicomposting system hosts many other organisms such as insects, mold, and bacteria.

Though these all play a role in the composting process, the earthworm is the major catalyst for the composting process.

2 ) Manure ====Manure is ANY organic matter used as fertilizer in agriculture.

Manures contribute to the fertility of the soil by adding organic matter and nutrients, such as nitrogen that is trapped by bacteria in the soil.

Higher organisms then feed on the fungi and bacteria in a chain of life that comprises the soil food web.

There are two main classes of manures in soil management:

Green manures and animal manures. Compost is distinguished from manure in that it is the decomposed remnants of organic materials (which may, nevertheless, include manure).

Most animal manure is feces — excrement (variously called "droppings" or "crap" etc) of plant-eating mammals (herbivores) and poultry — or plant material (often straw) which has been used as bedding for animals and thus is heavily contaminated with their feces and urine.

Green manures are crops grown for the express purpose of plowing them under. In so doing, fertility is increased through the nutrients and organic matter that are returned to the soil. Leguminous crops, such as clover, also "fix" nitrogen through rhizobia bacteria in specialized nodes in the root structure.

Other types of plant matter used as manure or fertilizer include: the contents of the rumens of slaughtered ruminants; spent hops left over from making beer.
