aiyu, miss out the meet up. was at China tht time.
Im food estate & agribusiness student, hope can join u guys for the next meet. nice to meet u all ya boss!!

What kind of worm farming you are talking about?

Be it earthworm, mealworm, maggot, etc. The start up could be a high school budget science project to hundreds thousands commercial scale project.

If you ask me about the minimal cost for startup, it can be well below RM1000 or even below RM100.

But before you venture into any project, it is important to identify the market first. Who you gonna sell the worms to?

I am not with my small library now... if u can wait, remind me early next month

Nice to have another bright fella to join the party, please do hang around as we will hv updates from time to time.

i am currently talking to a friend who has a plot of land empty for agriculture.

will provide more update later...

ParaOpticaL, it's a interesting thread, it took me some time to go thru every bit of it, wow!...from your desk job to aquaculture business must big a big leap, hoping to see your bountiful harvest soon!...count me in if there's any meeting up session!...

Forgot to state, im interested in earthworm farming for compose. But Im just interested to start it with about 200gram worms, and yes I know normally no one will sell it unless I bought a kilo. Is there any chance for me to get it?

Planning to setup chinchillas farm eh?

200 grams earthworms... you might as well just go and catch them ^^ your garden earthworm will work too. I has personally did it, and i see them eating my shredded office paper like mad, I know that because after one day the garden earthworms moved into my worm bin, i seen lots of bite size(worm bite size) paper bit all over the worm bin, it means that they starting to eat my bedding as soon as them moved in!

What is in your mind to to earthworm farming aka vermiculture? for the worm or for the compost?

I saw a local shop selling worm compost for RM6 per 1/2 kg package O.o expensive! Thanks to these people who pioneer into the market, next time when we established our worm farm and we can start selling out compost at discounted price!

ehzz....i tot u oredi got land geh? More land

compost!

I dont have to wait for compost to "multiply"

IINM, the worm that they use in vermiculture one is redworm(Lumbricus Rebellus). Can we get it around our garden?

i interested in chinchillas farm...

any1 got jalan?

That is they being particular with the "red worm".

Redworms, either Eisenia foetida or Lumbricus rubellus, neither of them are native worms of malaysia, hence most likely you cant find them in your garden. What i am trying to say is, you can use your garden worm, ie, normal regular common cacing, for your worm box too.

Okies..

I've seen the one they use in vermiculture, quite big and long!

The farmer said he paid Orang Asli to find them in the forest.

Will do as u said, Malaysia cacing Boleh also!

Now.... tell me how can I find this farmer ^^

Local worms are recommended because as a "bumiputera"(native) cacing:
- it will not cause any ecological issue like displacing native earthworm
- it will adapt to the local climate
- locally available
also:
- you can bring them up like red worms, market them as a more capable earthworm and get a quick buck from early emerging market.
