-====== Worms ======
-Composting worms, such as red wigglers, are often used in traditional composting systems to help break down organic matter and produce nutrient-rich compost. However, in an iAVS system, the use of composting worms is not necessary for effective system performance.
-The micro-biological activity that occurs in an iAVS system is sufficient to break down organic matter and release nutrients for plant uptake.
-While composting worms may provide some additional benefits, such as improving soil structure and increasing microbial diversity, their use in an iAVS system is not essential. In fact, some growers have found that composting worms can find their way into aquaponics systems on their own, without the need for intentional introduction.
-It is important to note that any additional inputs or modifications to the iAVS system should be thoroughly tested, compared, and carefully evaluated through scientific testing before being implemented on a larger scale.
-Overall, while the use of composting worms in an iAVS system may provide some benefits, it is not necessary for effective system performance. By focusing on maintaining appropriate water quality and using high-quality sand as a growing medium, you can ensure that your iAVS system is functioning at its best without the need for additional inputs such as composting worms.
