Worm Farming Revealed, Free Guide To Raising Worms and Worm Compost.

"You offer solid resources throughout the site and your video showing the DIY Worm Bin proves how easy it can be to get started."

This is a FREE GUIDE that I created to help people grow larger, tastier, and healthier produce (not too mention greener house plants and lawns  as well). By now I'm sure you know it has something to do with worms. Well, your right, but It's not actually these wonderful composters themselves that are beneficial. It's their poop. Yep, you heard me, WORM POOP! (a.k.a. worm castings) Nature's richest and healthiest soil amendment on Earth.

Watch How Fun And Easy This Is!

You may not realize it, but everyday we walk on it, play in it, and best of all we eat it. Well, ok not directly, but the plants do. Worms turn dying vegetation into rich plant food for the next generation of plant life. They've been doing it right under our noses for thousands of years.

I remember the first time I started a worm bin I did it all wrong. The bin stunk, I wasted my time and money, and the worms died. You won't make the same mistake I did, because I'll show you how to do it right the first time. Here is a list of the ways it benefited me and how it can benefit you also...

Never spend a dime on harmful chemical fertilizers or worry about burning your plants.

Turn your garbage into a rich soil amendment.

Grow a BIGGER, TASTIER fruit.

Get away from harmful pesticides.

Produce fertilizer twice as fast and more nutritious than any garden composter.

Help Reduce Our Addiction to landfills. Give it to the worms.

Create "Worm Tea" a wonderful power drink for plants.

Reclaim the soil by spreading the fertile truth on it.

And a lot more!

JUST BY FEEDING WORMS YOUR GARBAGE!

I want to reveal "THE DIRT" on how you can  restore your soil to its natural, healthy microbial state, while feeling good about giving back to the land. I've been gardening for years. I've tried chemical fertilizers and pesticides and quite frankly, they scare me!

I'm sure you've heard the stories before. The chemicals do nothing but rob and kill the soil. so, if we were made from the soil, then what are the chemicals doing to us? How did we get to this point in agriculture? Well, I set out on a mission to find a better way for myself and my family. I wanted to find a natural way of growing a rich soil amendment for my garden, lawn, and plants and low and behold I did. It was right under my nose all along. WORMS! Yep, That's exactly why they were created. They are nature's recycling creatures. I guess if nature was designed to do it right, then we can too and at Worm Farming Revealed so can you.

So, roll up your sleeves, put on your gloves, and get ready to get dirty. (actually the worms do all the work all you have to do is feed them...oh, and change their bedding once in a while;-)

big tex worms, bigtex worms

More about me than you want to know. How I became Big Tex Worms

I started my worm composting journey in late 2003. Several reasons contributed but the two primary ones were: my daughter and my love for outdoors.

My daughter Emma was diagnosed with asthma in 2002. After hours and hours of research, I discovered that transitioning to an organic diet would help her symptoms. But organic food is very expensive so I began again researching to find ways to curb the expense.

I was raised in the country, not on a farm, but my grandparents always had a large garden. We grew up reaping the delicious benefits of the homegrown veggies. And as a child, one of my favorite pastimes was helping them in the garden. Something I yearned for as an adult.

But here I was in suburban Texas in a near 0 lot line. How could I make gardening work? The two solutions I found were: Worms and container then later square foot gardening. I discovered I could have a small bin of worms, which would in turn give me organic fertilizer for my garden.

Some 7 years later, I have over 100 pounds of worms (not on my 0 lotline but at a local farm), large square foot beds and I am loving it. I now have 2 daughters who help mommy with the worms. My motivation was for my family but it now has evolved into helping other families reach similar goals. And thanks to SBI's sitesell website, I can do it globally.
And that is the story of Big Tex Worms!

Misc. info: Liz lives in Texas with her Firefighter/Paramedic Husband, 2 daughters, 15 chickens and some 100k worms. When she is not playing with the worms, she is either homeschooling her daughters or working part time as a RN, lactation consultant at a local hospital.

To God be the glory, great things He has done!

I consider SBI (Sitesell) to be an answer to prayer. No, it is not a get rich quick scheme. SBI has given me the tools to start two websites and invest in my future. It takes a LOT of work. If you have a topic that you are passionate about, then this might be for you. It will likely NOT replace your income in the next year but maybe in the next 2 years. Within 2 months of starting the website it was paying for itself and within 3 months I made a small profit, I have had this site up for a little over 6 months and I now make more a month than I did in a year before I started the site.
My goal is to replace my PART time (real job) income by December 2010.***Update**** I reached my goal early, as of August 1, 2010, this website is providing enough income for me to drop one of my part time jobs! The very best part about it, is that all my hard work goes to work for me 24 hours a day all over the world.

Want to learn more?

I don't like to beat around the bush. SBI is a full meal deal offer. You pay $299 and get all the tools you need to build a website, it really is the full deal, no hidden costs. It is renewed annually. I shopped around and similar services are well over $5000, yep that is a huge savings. Shop and compare, you will come back. Compare service to service.

Here is some more information: (click on the above banner)

I started this website in January of 2010 and as of today March I made $200 on the website and April I made $300. AND in the last 2 days I have made $100. Things are looking good. But keep in mind, this is my second website and I did a LOT of learning in the 5 months prior to starting this website, on my 1st website. Again, not a get rich quick.

Thinking of MAYBE starting a website? Send me an email and I will help you decide if it is a good idea or not.

How many worms for a family of 5?

by Teresa Myers
(Ardmore, OK)

I have a family of 5. Do I need to order 2 starter bags?

Also, I'm thinking about using an old horse trough for my worm bed. It doesn't have air holes, but it does have a valve for drainage. I plan to cover it with either plywood or a rubber mat. Do you think this would be a good choice for a bed? I could drill holes in the cover if necessary, but really don't want to put holes in the trough, as it is kinda of expensive.

Answer from BigTex Worms
To answer your first question, no you do not need two starter bags. I would say one starter bag plus a pound of worms will give you enough worms to digest about 1-2 pounds of scraps/day. It may not quite be enough to compost all your scraps but within 3 months it will be.
Your second question. How big is the horse trough exactly? If it is what I think it is , it is about 2 feet deep, 2 feetish wide and about 5 feet long. The only way I would use it is if you can put in some kind of divider to section it off into 2 or 3 compartments. That way when one gets full you can remove the divider so the worms can move over and start on the new bedding/food in the other side. This will allow you to harvest part of the bin. Otherwise, a large bin like that will be a major undertaking to harvest AND the contents will get really mucky/fudgy in something that large. Also airflow is VERY important or the bin can overheat and get anerobic. So my suggestion is to have the trough in an area or a barn where you dont need a hard lid. Somewhere you can simply have a cloth lid or a screen for a topper.
Hope this answers all your questions. If not, ask me more...
Also, if you do decide to order a starter plus a pound, I will give you a discount and send you a paypal invoice to pay. Just send me a note through the contact me form.

Do worms prefer fruits or veggies?

Do worms compost better in vegetables or fruit??

Hmmm. Interesting question. In my observation, worms like both but prefer certain varieties of each. I would say their favorite vegetable is without a doubt sweet potatoes (cooked) and their favorite fruit is watermelon but cantelope comes in a strong second. If I had to choose one over the other (which I would never do) I would choose feeding fruits.
The reason I think they should get fruits and vegetables is to enrich the final product: the castings. So that it is more nurtient rich for your garden.
Great question!
