Composting and Worm Farming

Environment

The average garbage bin in Ashfield consists of about 50% organic waste, mostly food scraps, which will be transported to landfill where it rots without air to form harmful greenhouse gases. Home composting and wormfarming are easy and important ways of reducing the amount of these valuable materials going to landfill, cutting down on the associated greenhouse gases and returning nutrients back into the soil.

Wormfarming

Worms eat your food scraps and turn them into rich fertilisers. Worm farms are great for people living in apartments because they don't smell or take up much space so they are perfect for balconies and small courtyards. They are also simple and easy to maintain.

How does the worm farm work?
Worm farms consist of two or three trays. The bottom tray collects liquid fertiliser which is high in nutrients. Dilute to a weak tea colour before you use on plants. The other trays are the ‘working trays' in which the worms live, breed and work, turning your kitchen scraps into rich castings, which can be used as an excellent soil conditioner.
