Worm Breeding / Vermicomposting
===============================

One of the easy ways to obtain a regular and cheap supply is to
breed your own worms. 

I have a worm or vermicomposting bin in my garage. I feed the
bin kitchen scraps, and I pick out worms twice a week. This is
cheap, environmentally responsible, and immensly practical.
If you have ambitions, you can also sell surplus worms to other
reptiles keepers. And, of course, you get free compost for your
garden.

Using the Worms from Your Worm Bin
----------------------------------
Once you harvest the worms, wash them thoroughly with cold
water before feeding them to your reptiles.
