Why Worms?
Did you know
that a tonne of worms can eat a tonne of green
and kitchen waste in 1 - 4 days! - They basically
can eat their own body weight in this time! Not
a lot of people know that.
Worms are invertebrates,
that is they have a long, soft body and no back
bone or legs! They do not have a brain but do
have a nerve centre. They do not have eyes but
are sensitive to light.
There are hundreds
of thousands of species of worms and about 2,700
are earthworms. Earthworms have been around
for 120 million years! They were even around
when the dinosaurs were here!
They like to
eat most things, one of their favourite foods
is poo! Worms just love horse manure, to them
this is the same as us going for a favourite Chinese
dinner!
Why a Wormery?
It is becoming increasingly
important to ensure as much food and kitchen waste
as possible is separated from general household
waste.
Regional authorities
have been told to set targets for cutting the
amount of waste going into landfill and increasing
the amount recycled. We must all do our bit.
Vermicomposting
refers to the process of using earthworms to turn
organic waste into vermicompost - also known as
vermicast, worm compost, worm castings, worm humus
or worm manure - a high quality natural fertiliser
and soil conditioner.
Become part of
the home composting revolution and recycle
your kitchen/green/home waste with our Beehive
