What is Worm Farming?
Worm farming is a natural way to recycle fruit and vegetable waste.
Why Should you Worm Farm?
Over 50% of waste generated at home is organic matter which can be recycled.
Castings and liquid fertiliser from worm farms are high in nutrients and add much needed nourishment back into the soil creating healthier plants and gardens.
Worm farming produces 100% natural fertiliser so you don’t have to buy expensive artificial fertilisers.
