A "worm farm" is a different matter, most veg scraps are ok, i'd avoide acidic (oranges/tomatoes and such), and meats/grease - i save my eggshells for the growbeds as they help buffer the ph and add calcium to the systems.
I built a worm farm right into my aquaponic system and yes worms do well in grow beds that have media for roots. probably not so well in a floating raft system. so far i have not seen a buildup of castings.. The difference with aquaponics worms is that they do not remain constantly full of water, but rather flood, and then drain. 2011 titled “aquaponics and the wonderful worm“. click on the title to read more. ( fish farming ) and hydroponics (soil-less plant culture).. Do you really need worms in your aquaponics system? well, the answer is yes. if you want a more balanced and maintenance free system. adding worms to your aquaponics system is a great way to get rid of the waste that you don’t want in your system..
