Ep. 107 - Worm Farming with Lauren Cain of Elm Dirt
On Tuesday we talked all about the benefits of composting with worms and the basics of how to get started. Today, we talk to an expert. Lauren Cain is the founder and owner of Elm Dirt, a local Kansas City area company specializing in worm castings and products derived from those worm castings. Lauren’s company got its start in an unexpected way and, like all things at the beginning of 2020, took a turn she did not expect. From vermicomposting in her home to worm farming in a warehouse, her company and its products have grown leaps and bounds in just two years and with very good reason.
I’ve gotten to use the products Elm Dirt sells and have been so fascinated by and impressed with the results that I’m ready to start my own worm bins here at home. I’m confident this conversation will absolutely have you convinced that worm castings and the products made from them should be an essential part of your garden plan going forward. Let’s dig in.
