Scaling up for commercial vermiculture

Vermiculture has become successful commercially that most breeders have expanded their operations to include vermicomposting. While vermiculture focuses on the large-scale breeding and growing of worms and the production of castings, vermicomposting involves the recycling of organic materials. Some of the more successful vermicomposting operations include Chattanooga, TN-based Goodwill Industries, Banks of Eden Farm in Eden, MD, and Alpine, CA-based Environmental Recycling Systems. For vermicomposting, the most commonly used works are red wigglers.
