Deborah Stevens
My worm farming hobby began in 1999. I soon became amazed by the hard working wigglers eating my kitchen garbage and organic matter. I turned my hobby into a business in 2005. The health, vigor, color and taste of my fruits and vegetables have increased dramatically. My soil Biology has been improved and enhanced with the use of Vermicompost and Aerated Worm Tea.
