Composting Worms Product Reviews

One of the pleasures of working with worms and selling our products are the amazed reactions we get from people using them for the first time. Worms are a source of amusement and wonder to first-time recycling bin owners. We get loads of comments about how well they are doing and the fun involved with watching the process.

Delving into the world of worms can be a magical experience, yet one that is practical in many ways. You can learn the process of recycling your own organic trash, and earn and save money while doing so. There is the added joy that comes with respecting the many creatures that share the Earth with us, and the knowledge that we are helping protect our Earth for future generations.

Dear Folks:
I ordered your composting worms about 6-9 months ago in the hopes they would improve our 67 roses. Well, the rose plants that received the compost (and the worms) could not look any better. It is absolutely fantastic how green, disease free, and lush they are,

One Queen Elizebeth rose is about 12 years old and appeared to be on its last legs last year. This year it is green and lush and hardy and full of beautiful buds...wow!If anybody wants to know how they [Rising Mist Organic Farm] work for roses - they are terrific! The old pumpkins in the fall have been turned into roses this spring.

The Wacky World of Worms is a new and fun guide to worm composting...the book is composed of five 'segments' (how appropriate!). Every step is spelled out, with small and often very cute interspersed images that keep the text easy to read. Some of the cartoons are quite funny, and there's a good deal of humor in The Wacky World of Worms. An exercising worm (curling a dumbbell!) marks each of the many Wacky Worms Exercises. The book's science is generally quite good and taught very well. Many good observations on worms are made. --Zorba Frankel, managing editor of Worm Digest

It's hard to mention all that can be learned from this 48-page book or the fun readers can have doing the exercises scattered through the pages or viewing the illustrations also done by the author. Highly recommended for children's collections in all public libraries and all school libraries. School librarians, mention this to your science teachers or those who do science projects, then have Debbie Anderson visit to talk about worms and bring some of her elongated friends!

My husband and I enjoyed the book so much that we went through the chapters and excersises on our own after the kids went to bed!

Dear Rising Mist,
Your commercial harvester has exceeded our expectations! We brought it home and immediately assembled it. After assembly, we realized that we could not have made one ourselves as we had attempted to do earlier this year.

After the first 12 hours of use, we had harvested 2600 pounds of castings. That is more than double the capacity amount you had quoted us before we bought it! We will be recommending your harvester to other growers we come in contact with. Thanks again!
--J. Favors, Dayton Texas

With my first use of castings, the results were dramatic! I planted a long row of spinach using castings as a side dressing. About halfway through the row, the castings ran out. To my amazement, the half with the castings sprouted much earlier and grew at a faster rate than the other half of the row.

I am so happy with the earthworm tea I use on all my plants! They love it! Now with spring right around the corner, I'm ready to work building a new garden. Rising Mist has given my pale green thumb much hope! Thanks again for your nutritional tea blend. My poor old bonsai is even responding well to it!--J. Black, Vermont

We took our squirmy friends into a local school, and many of the children were in awe as they got to see worm capsules hatch! Finding the capsules bcame a major attraction with the worms themselves pulling a close second.

Here are just a few of their comments:

I've had the most fun in my life, because I got to be a father to a baby worm.
Your friend, Erik

The part I like the most was showing us the worms. The group I was in saw eggs hatching. Did the worms like the bed we made?
Sincerely, Michele

It is so neat that such little things can do so much work.
Sincerely, Shannon
