For those of you who are considering hanging direction and starting a new business here are a few ideas for you to consider and take action on.
Worm Farming is becoming the new Technology and a hobby or business is fast becoming lucrative. The enthusiast who wants to eliminate organic waste at home or the business man who wants to remove Landfills can get all the information they require from this book. Aquaponic farmers also need them, as well as being handy for organic waste management. Worm farming is very satisfying and has many rewards it is something that must be approached seriously, or it will be a waste of time. This fine business opportunity has many income streams, for example worm sales, vermicompost and worm tea to gardeners, chicken farmers, fishermen, aquaponic farmers etc. You can then sell the vermicompost to gardeners, and nurseries, as well as worm tea for use in irrigation systems. Worms multiply from one thousand to one million in one year with the right circumstances, and that’s for you to provide. So, climb in and make some money. This book has been designed to give the young person a gratifying hobby yet still has potential for making money to supplement pocket money and teach how to manage a business from early years just for fun. No strict rules here and as the worms are very cooperative you do not need to be with them day and night. If they get food and are kept moist, they are always happy.

Those of you who like to work in the garden or even dabble a little, should consider getting a worm farm. You will eventually have all the vermicompost you need as a little goes a long way and the plants love it. This vermicompost is also a regenerator of the soil by injecting beneficial bacteria into the soil and giving you a rich loamy sweet soil in return. We do not sell worms any more but will give a few away to discerning people who really want to have the benefit of these lovely creatures. As long, as they are warm and moist they give you everything and the nice thing, is they consume most of your organic waste at the same time. Spring is looming and you will want to plant new seeds and the vermicompost is the ideal growing medium so think about it. J

A Can of Worms for You.
Earthworms are very easy animals to look after, they do not crow, shout, bark or mew. Silence is all you get, and yet they give you so much in return for a little moisture and some organic food.
Those of you who have read that worms do not eat milk products and meats have been misinformed as a worm will eat all of these things but we do not tend to use them due to other things eating them as well i.e. maggots and of course they tend to smell as well.
While working in Kuwait we used worms to rid a milk and ice cream company of waste which they normally dumped on a landfill and those worms ate everything, including milk, yoghurt, ice cream fruit juices and cheese all mixed together in a large soup mix. They loved the stuff. you might not want to do this as the smell may become irritating until it has been eaten. Worms do not have noses so smells are not an issue for them.
You will get vermicompost which you can use on your plants and also to improve your soil fertility as beneficial bacteria move into the soil to enrich it and make it more viable for the grower. Do not use commercial fertilizers in your garden as they kill all beneficial bacteria and burn the plant roots if not watered immediately.
If you want more information about keeping worms go down this page and find all the information you need to keep worms safe and sound. The photo below shows a test run of six waste products from the ice cream company carried out by my old friend Brian vibenholtbout.

I have been trying for a long time to publish something here and each time I do it says share and then closes down everything, so nothing happens. Whenever you start a new worm bin do not use shredded or ripped paper as a base for the bin as it eventually ends up as a paer mache brick at the bootom and blocks all vent holes and stop any draining occuring and you end up with a stagnant mess. Rather ball up whole newspaper pages into tennis ball sizes and put them loosely in the bin with a few cardboard pieces about 150mm by 50mm, to keep them apart, but only looslely. Then use some aged compost or buy a bag and fill the gaps of paper and cardboard, sparaying with an aerosol spray as you go. This will ensure everything is moist not wet. Fill the bin to approx three quarters and then cover with a blanket. Leave this for a week and just maintain the moisture levels and measure if you can. After a week you are ready to put the worms in and they will enjoy eating all that bedding. You can leave them for two weeks but maintain moisture levels, and then start giving themwaste organics.
Hope this helps those of you starting up.

Worm Farming in South Africa
We in South Africa have possibly some of the nicest weather you can wish for. The summer is not too hot unless you are in the far north and the winters are quite mild compared to some places in the World. Earthworms have the same needs of temperature, humidity and comfort as ourselves namely between 18-25 degrees Celcius and 50 % humidity. This is called the comfort zone and most animals and some machines function so much better in these ranges as elsewhere.
Those of you who have got worm farms will know that our little friends only require some food and moisture to live quite happily and produce this stunning fertiliser for your garden. Please tell your friends about them as the more that are out there in a safe secure worm bin the less waste we throw away. 75% of landfill waste is organic in nature and that is what a worm eats. Give it a try, and lets see how many worm farms we can get started.
