Composting Worm Farms

Food and garden waste in landfill causes methane emissions and leachate, and reduces soil fertility, so:

•  We provide solutions for diverting food waste from landfill

•  We sell domestic and commercial worm farms, worms and EM Bokashi bucket systems

•  We provide consultancy and after sales advice to businesses and households

•  We run composting workshops for local communities

Feeding fruit and vegetable scraps to earthworms is a cheap and simple way of recycling food and garden waste. Worm castings make a great fertiliser for gardens. Worm farms are ideal for people living in flats or houses with small backyards and for dealing with lunch scraps at the office.

Worm farms use special earthworms called compost worms that thrive in the warm, rich, moist environment of the worm farm. The most common compost worms are Tiger Worms, Red Wrigglers and Indian Blues and they can eat about half of their body weight in one day. The population in a well maintained worm farm doubles every two to three months.

The Environment Centre has a selection of worm farms for sale to meet your waste needs. You can also pick up a bag of worms to get started!
