The main point of a worm farm is to divert food scraps away from landfill, where they decompose in anaerobic conditions (that is, without any air), and so produce methane which is a gas about 20 times more harmful to global warming than carbon dioxide.
You can measure the effects by the amount of food waste you still throw away compared to the amount your worms eat. A worm will eat its own body weight in one day, so at the start, with 1000 worms, you can only feed about quarter of a pound (125 grams) of food scraps per day. Later, if your worm farm increases to 20,000 worms, you can feed much more.
And a side effect of your worm farm is, of course, the worm castings and urine, which make excellent plant food for your garden.

What are the benefits of having a worm farm in your garden and how can you measure the effects?
Benefits: * You stop throwing food scraps and kitchen waste into the garbage where they end up as landfill, producing methane which contributes to global warming. * You produce an excellent plant food and fertilizer for your plants. * You throw away less garbage, thus saving fuel on garbage trucks and transport. Measure the effects: * Count, estimate, measure the amount of food you feed your worms over a period, for example, a small worm farm: 500 grams (1.1 lb) of food a day is 3.5 kilograms (7.7 lbs) a week, or 182 kilos (400 lbs) a year. In ten years that's almost two tonnes (2 tons) of food scraps you've diverted.
