    Well I've been farming worms awhile and I love to garden. I do research all the time on both and am just starting to learn about the vermiponics. Since I have plenty of worms, I was thinking about trying it out. From all of the pictures I've seen online, it's hard to tell exactly how the systems are built. I'm just trying to get an idea of everything needed to start a system and how to go about setting one up in detail. I'd love to try growing all different veggies and fruits. Anything you can share would be very helpful.

    As for the worms, you are right. The average rate of reproduction is doubling every 90 days in a perfect environment.

    Hi J,

    Would like to give you a heads up on the freshwater Prawn. To raise more for continuous growth you need to have saltwater tanks.  A good alternative would be to raise "Red Claw Crayfish".  Each female lays 100 -300 eggs on an average, they taste great and you can eat and grow all year long.  Craig
