What do worms produce in a worm farm?
In a worm farm, worms eat the food and kitchen scraps that would otherwise go to landfill. They produce "castings", or worm poo, which is an excellent plant food for your garden. Their urine also drains off at the bottom and can be diluted with 10 parts of water for a terrific plant fertilizer. The castings and urine have no smell.

What is the best way to regulate the temperature in a worm farm?
The ideal temperature for a worm farm so the worms can breed is 65 to 77 degrees Fahrenheit (18 - 25 degrees Celsius). If you live in a warm climate, place your worm farm in the shade, in the garage or shed, or even inside, as a properly managed worm farm has no smell. On a very hot day you can run cooling water through your worm farm (open the tap at the bottom) and then cover with a wet blanket or tarpaulin.
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.
How can you measure the effects of a worm farm?
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 food do you put in a worm farm?
A mud or A plant.
Where is a safe place to put a worm farm?
Worms don't like it too hot or too cold, and they don't like direct light, so they should be out of the sun. They prefer 65 to 77 degrees Fahrenheit (18 - 25 degrees Celsius). They can be kept in a garden shed, or on a balcony or veranda, or even inside the house. A well managed worm farm has no smell. There should be a lid on the top to discourage pests, rats, cats, dogs or others. If ants come into your worm farm it's not really a problem but it's a sign that your farm is too dry. A little more moisture will drive them away.
