New applications for vermiculture--breeding 
earthworms--are now in use and the demand
for redworms is soaring.  The tiny redworm
is a powerful resource in waste reduction.
Capable of eating up to its own waste daily
in organic waste, worms are now in use around
the world at landfill diversion sites converting
yard trimmings and other organic waste into
worms castings--which is a highly prized soil
amendment.

Currently, demand for worms far exceeds supply.
It is common for landfull diversion sites to start
with 75,000 to 100,000 pounds of worms.  These
growers are hard-pressed to meet huge demands.
