Beds are rotated and staggered so that three or four beds are harvested weekly during spring, summer, and fall in most climates. Part of the unwalled beds is mulched with the high-grade worm castings. Part of the castings are sold to florists and gardeners for high-value potting soil mixes. The raw materials were steamed pasteurized before the worms received it so the incidence of surviving weed seeds is extremely low. Peas and beans are harvested, and the greens are fed to the rabbits, ducks and fish.
Fish relish the bugs which voluntarily arrive at the worm bins.
So do the chickens and ducks if allowed into the garden. Pollinators of many species are present every nice-weather day year round. Local songbirds take a share as they are invited guests with provided shelters, habitat and winter food contributed by the farmer. Songbirds are part of the pest-control regimen, as are various predators plus assorted plants with bug repellent qualities. IES approved organic pesticides are reserved for serious inflammations of pest imbalances.
