RE: Aspects to be considered in worm farming
Interesting article.
Worms have a nasty habit of escaping from the compost box. Imported and exotic composters can wreak havoc on the local ecosystem.
So, I think every composting effort should start by researching native composters. It is likely that a local agriculture school is actively studying the local ecosystem. So, it should be possible to find out about local composters.
There are composters that do a better job than worms. Where I live the native composters create a rich loam which appears to be more nutrient dense than the clay produced by worms.
The artisanal composting worms are an excellent alternative for the management of worms, we just have to maintain the appropriate conditions in the habitat where this noble species develops.
