Areas where worm composting can be used

Industrial waste

Worm composting has been shown to be particularly suitable for processing continually produced industrial waste such as fibrous silt, slurry and refuse from the food industry (vegetable peelings, etc), and returning it into a valuable and benefical worm biohumus. This can then be used in crop cultivation (the biohumus of worms fed on waste paper and yard clippings, farm waste is ideal for large scale crop production) or landscaping (the worm biohumus resulting from almost any source can help plants along busy roads to survive).

Agricultural waste

In the agricultural sector, dairy cow, pig, chicken manure or other organic waste can be processed by the worms to produce high quality plant nutrients for the cultivation of specific crops. This is a cheap solution which also helps to improve and meet Federal groundwater quality standards. Worm biohumus can also be prepared into a liquid 'activated Compost Tea' is ideal for environmentally conscious farming as it reduces the amount of pesticides and other chemical plant protection methods needed. (after all, you can't successfully farm organically without some type of organic fertilizers for crops)

Household and kitchen waste

The worm composting system that 'Our little southern farm' offers enables concerned families to help and to contribute to the protection of the Planet within their own four walls. This system was designed and built by the Southern Organic Living partners. This earthworm farm can be used indoor and or outdoor. Worm composting is possible indoors all year round, as it is odorless and takes place in a sealed container.
