Vermiculture
(Worm Farming)
Over the past couple of years more
and more gardeners and farmers have
realised the benefit of using compost
to improve the soil. Fertile soil contains
lots of humus and micro-organisms, but
the humus content needs to be
periodically replenished so that the soil
micro-organisms will continue to
flourish. No better way than by using
vermicompost!
Increasing numbers of gardeners
worldwide are successfully using
vermicompost as an excellent soil
conditioner. All over South Africa
people are venturing into "worm
farming" and vermiculture thanks to
the television programmes Carte
Blanche and Pasella, who featured
vermicomposting operations in their
programmes. Articles in gardening
magazines made more people aware of
the world of vermiculture and
earthworms - our little workers. Some
people have been inspired by family
and friends who experienced amazing
results after using vermicompost and
worm tea in their gardens.
Worm farming has become popular in
many countries and for many it
provides the opportunity for a good
small business. Worm farming is not a
new idea; it has just taken modern
society a long time to appreciate a
process which has been going on
perfectly naturally in our soils.
Vermicomposting can be the answer to
the individual who wants to do his part
to rescue our planet from global
warming.
Vermicomposting is, however, still a
relatively new practice for organic
waste management although it has
gained ground among those concerned
about the negative effects of waste
on the environment.
