Description

Beginning With Worms

Worms are friends to our environment! They recycle our 'organic garbage' and turn it into a product that will rebuild our land, by fertilising our gardens and trees, and replacing nutrient deficient soil (worms actually make rich soil). This also reduces the amount of garbage that is sent to our dumps and land-fill areas, saving valuable land space and extending the life of land-fills, which will in turn reduce the cost to our community in garbage collection and disposal costs. The presence of Blue-Green Algae in our waterways is reduced, by controlling leaching of organic waste from the soil into our water supplies, by composting waste.

Worms love to eat all types of food scraps (not meat, bones or dairy products, as these tend to smell and attract other unfavourable 'visitors' to the worm bin), some manures, paper and cardboard or material from vacuum cleaner bags, turning it into nutrient rich compost (castings). These castings are used as fertiliser for any types of plants, as they are rich in nitrogen, phosphorous, calcium and potassium with a neutral pH. Worm castings are the richest form of natural fertiliser known to man. This will promote a higher than average growth in plants, and good, rich colouring for vegetables and flowers (ideal to start seedlings, when mixed with potting mix). The need for artificial fertilisers and chemicals is reduced dramatically by 'letting the worms do the work!'. And they work for FREE.........just provide 'Bed and Breakfast'.

Happy worms will chomp (suck, really!) their way through about 1/2 their own weight in food each day (any bedding material they munch on is included in this), so 2lb (1kg aprox) of worms should consume about 1lb of food, once they have adapted to their new environment and food source. This will take about 4 - 7 days, so light feeding during this period is recommended. It takes about 3 weeks for the bin to settle in properly.
