Home Something we can all do to minimise the waste we send to the garbage dumps is to compost our organic waste like newspapers, vegetable waste, egg shells, garden waste, even coffee grinds!  A great way to do this, that is efficient, doesn't smell or take up much space, and benefits your wallet and garden is worm farming or Vermiculture. Worms are the ideal labour force!  They require minimal care, are quiet, never go on strike and are cheap to maintain.   Worms will spend their entire lives converting your organic waste into humus, or vermicompost - stopping only to reproduce.  Vermicompost is one of the best and safest fertilizers around.  It is ph neutral, feels and smells like good soil.  Vermicompost is five times richer in nutrients and micro-elements than good topsoil.  The vermiliquid that is also produced is both a natural pest repellent and organic fertilizer.  Vermicompost and liquid are fertilizers that are guaranteed to never burn your plants and are excellent growth stimulants for cuttings. Vegetables can be grown free from dangerous insecticides and pesticides - Providing innumerable health benefits to you and your family. Having your own worm farm allows you and your family to reduce the amount of waste going into landfills and to reduce greenhouse gases whilst also enabling you to supplement and enrich your garden soil at no extra cost.  Because worms farms are compact and there is no smell you can keep it indoors or on a balcony of an apartment and use the vermicompost on your house plants..  Further proving that we can all contribute to the environment. At The Worm Shack we aim to show people of all spheres, in the home, industry and in agriculture that reducing your carbon footprint is not only beneficial to the environment, to your current and future health, but  it is also cost effective and cost saving. The Worm Shack not only offers worm farms for the homemaker, but also vermicultural solutions to the tourism industry (hotels can recycle and save on costs for garden maintenance, whilst improving the quality of their grounds and even grow their own vegetables), as well as to farmers who wish to improve the yield per plant, and therefore the income of their harvest, whilst reducing the expense of insecticides and pesticides. The Worm Shack also offers a maintenance service, whereby once a month we will bottle and pack your vermicompost and vermiliquid, ready for use, as well as check and maintain the condition of the worms and the worm farm unit.  Home I Products & Services I About Worms I About Vermiculture I FAQ'S I Leave a Message I Contact Us
