The Magic of Worm Composting

The Magic of Worm Composting is a practical workshop for anyone interested in living more sustainably and is ideal for gardeners and small scale farmers looking for solutions for growing in abundance without the need for synthetic fertilisers.

Worm composting is a fun, low cost, efficient and low- tech solution for dealing with our organic waste at home and at work, transforming it into the world’s finest nutrient-rich fertiliser and compost. The ferocious appetite of the composting worm, which can consume up to half its body weight a day in organic waste and reducing the volume by 90% provides the perfect solution for ecological waste management. Particularly suited for the urban environment, worm composting can be practiced indoors on a very small scale, helping keep valuable organic resources out of landfill.
