Hello
My name is Andy, and I am the owner and worm nerd at Carbon and Soil. We are a part-time worm farm that uses vermiculture biotechnology to produce vermicompost.

My Story
Vermicompost, worm castings, vermicast, and worm compost all have the same meaning: the end product of earthworms' breakdown of organic material.
Vermicomposting is like a green thumb, animal husbandry, and soil science. I have been vermicomposting since 2007. I have excellent knowledge of vermicomposting, composting, and soil health without synthetic fertilizers. I have self-learned from reading and attending vermiculture and farming conferences, YouTube videos, and farm teaching events. I have kept updated on the latest regenerative organic agricultural growing practices for at least 15 years. I am a member of PASA, the Pennsylvania Association on Sustainable Agriculture. Daily, I keep learning and improving my vermicompost and compost process at Carbon and Soil.

​Healthy soil is essential for nutrient-dense food. Carbon and Soil use high amounts of aged wood chips and shredded paper to produce quality fungi-dominated vermicompost.

Carbon and Soil often test our vermicompost for biological, nutrient content, metal content, and DNA.
