<prompt> Human: Are there any suggestions as to how I could earn an income - just a tiny amount, say 80 a week would do - without having to resort to working for someone? I dont want to work for an employer and I want to be my own boss. Are there any business ideas or financial suggestions you could pose to me. I also want to have time to study because HSC is just around the corner and whatnot.  <response>: Recently, I have been looking at worm farming! Ugh, I know it sounds weird. I was looking on amazon at red wriggler worm because I have a lovely garden I transformed from a basic dead dirt patch - there were NO worms in the soil, which I consider to be a bad sign.Now, I wanted to help a compost pile along and also eventually get more worms in the soil. So I looked on amazon at worm farms, worms, etc. and got a lot of ideas. Basically, all you need to grow worms is dirt, some finely shredded plain paper, some leftover fresh vegetable refuse from your moms kitchen no oil, no meat, no dairy, etc. and water. They cant be kept outdoors when the weather is very cold so a basement or heated garage probably is the best place. Some people keep them in a kitchen worm farm box. They make these things!Look at amazon, read the reviews. Read some books about worm farming the library can get you some. Then sell to fishermen, people and people who garden or who have pets that eat worms. The worm farm boxes are used a lot by people who want the worm castings worm poop that fall to the bottom tray. You can bag that stuff and sell to gardeners who will put in in their garden soil. Its a low-risk type of investment. At worst, you are a bad worm owner and you screw up and the worms die. Even then, in my case, Id just add them to my compost pile!
