What do find most appealing of raising worms?

[Jay Blair]

Name one factor of worm raising as the most appealing factor in your decision to start worm farming.

What is your main factor and why?

My answer is "cheapness". The why is because when I started worm raising , I was looking for an additional small income stream but had practically no money to invest.

I was able to start worm farming for less than $15 and it grew to a small income stream and has altered to fit within my changing goals and needs ever since.

So what is your factor and reason?

My main reason was for a food source for my snake. I also liked the idea of selling for bait and being able to have them eat my leftovers instead of throwing it out. Eventually I may even use the castings to grow a small garden.
The cheapness is also nice. So far I only have about $10 invested and have about 2lbs from wild harvesting.

That is a great question!
I usually have dollar signs in my eyes when I think of new project. I have had to become creative in my choices of "farming adventures", not actually living on a farm.
I truly believe that worms are the "GUTS" of the earth and a very valuable part of our eco-system.
I live in a state and area where fishing and hunting are an important part of our lifestyles.
I wanted a meaningful project that can include my school-aged children. It has taught them how to work and to appreciate the beauties of the earth we usually do not see.
I had very limited income to invest in a business, but with this one, I have not yet invested anything.
I have the breeding stock in the soil, newspapers and telephone books are delivered to our door for making bedding, we have rabbit manure, used hay, grass clippings, garden and kitchen waste for food for worms
and the desire to learn.
