Worm Farming 101 Workshop
February 28 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Everything you could possibly want to know about how to successfully run a worm farm.
Worm farming is a great alternative to disposing of your food waste in the rubbish bin while creating natural fertiliser for your garden. By recycling food scraps in a worm farm you can help reduce organic waste disposed in landfill, in turn reducing the production of leachate and greenhouse gases from landfills. Worm ‘castings’ are ideal natural fertiliser for your garden and cost nothing!
Our Worm Farming 101 Workshop covers the following topics:
- Why have a worm farm? Learn why food scraps & garden waste must be taken out of our rubbish bins
- Setting up your worm farm
- What goes into your worm farm?
- Learn about different worm farm options
- Maintaining your worm farm
- How to use worm castings & ‘worm juice’ on your garden
- The vital role of organic matter & humus in your soil
- Outlining the human health problems associated with using synthetic fertilisers on your edible gardens
- Answers to the most common problems with worm farms
Northern Beaches residents may be eligible to receive a $90 voucher to put towards purchasing a worm farm or compost bin. Available to residents, one per household, if you have not received a free worm farm or compost bin from Northern Beaches Council before*.
