   Thanks for the good informative article. I’ve had Red Wigglers for five years now, and I think it is a “no-brainer” to divert great organic waste from the landfill and let the worms convert it to an amazing soil amendment! And like you said, no mess, no stress. I don’t think I could even garden now without wonderful worm compost. Thanks for providing products that promote sustainable and restorative farming practices!

   Thanks for the kind words! And for sharing your positive experience vermicomposting. It really is a great practice for so many reasons.

   Fifth Season Gardening,

   Thank you for the information on your website. It is very insightful. I have some confusion in regard to the actual steps involved in using them. I get the idea, but what about when I am ready to use the compost? Do I separate the worms from the compost by hand or just dig into the compost and hope the worms survive where I use it? Do I have to keep buying worms every season? I am confused but hopeful that you will clear this up for me.

   Thanks for your question. For the two systems shown in this article, the fresh scraps are added to the top and the compost is harvested from the bottom. Your worms will naturally move towards the fresh food scraps that you add to the top. When harvesting, if some worms are mixed in with the compost, just add them to your garden and they will keep up the good work there. Also, if conditions are right, your worm population will multiply in the composter as well. Hope this helps and best of luck!
