1000 Flowers for the Planet - #15 Create a Worm Farm

1000 Flowers for the Planet - #15 Create a Worm Farm


Here’s another option for dealing with your organic waste. By creating a worm farm you return kitchen waste to the environment via the industrious worms who turn it into castings and worm tea ready for use on your garden, where it has further benefits of being environmentally friendly, promotes plant growth and increases their immune systems.

Brilliant! As well as chooks, our revamped backyard is being planned for a worm farm! Is there a benefit of having a worm farm over a compost heap?

I don't think so, Sue. It seems to be whatever best suits your needs. You can't feed grass clippings to your worms so that's one reason for a compost. Worm castings are apparently brilliant for the garden though.
