Setting up a Worm Farm @ Edendale ONLINE
Description
A worm farm is one of the best ways to dispose of food scraps and produce vermi-juice (worm tea) and vermicast (worm castings) for use on the garden.
Learn how to set up a worm farm and the easiest methods to manage and care for these most hard-working of creatures.
This one hour online workshop will cover both the theory and practice of worm farming in a household setting. It will be useful for those wanting to recycle household food waste in order to produce worm products for use in the improvement of soil in gardens and pot plants. There will be time for questions and interaction as you go along and after the presentation.
