The Green Guerrilla Speedy breeder system for horticulture operations

“Hello, my name is Akim Riemer, and after working with compost worms for over 15 years, I have thus far learnt, you never know what they are thinking, and they remain unforgiving to substandard living conditions, yet when you offer them optimal conditions, they wriggle as one, and as Darwin wrote “are more powerful than the African elephant”.

I have certainly had my fair share of failure with working with compost worms and struggled to achieve optimal conditions in the early years, I only overcame these challenges when I started working on my own recipes, I formulated from observing the worms behaviour as best as possible, from living substrate, feeding to moisture control.

I have also identified that there are no products or systems on the market that promote the exponential energy of worms, nor basic guidelines on how to maximize the full efficiency of working with compost worms that incorporates their natural behaviour.

The Green Guerrilla speedy breeder system is taking 6kg biomass of worms, and breeding them to approximately 100kg in 240 days, following recipes and guidelines to achieve and maintain optimal conditions, using primitive methods backed by science, and minimal controlled environment of 10 sqm to be able to process 6-10 cubes of organic matter in 33 days, producing monthly in succession 1-2.5t of vermicast.

Vermicast is black gold, and the application of just 5% (less is more) shows how far it can go.

Organic waste is a resource in the wrong place, utilizing organic waste to create nutrient-rich fertilizers is a game changer for agriculture and waste management.

Compost worms create not just the most powerful nutrient rich fertilizer on earth, they are the most space, time and cost-efficient method for organic waste stabilization.

Compost worms are a visual example of the exponential energy nature has to offer; they also hold the key to natures pharmacy.
Excluding the potential of compost worms to cultivate nutrient dense compost for any horticulture operation is an oversight.

Earth worms and bees

As part of GG remote mentorship (podcasts) on organic farming with worms, incorporating storytelling, I am sharing a short, edited extract on the history of worms/bees how the guerrilla sees it.

Comparing the bee and earth worm, drawing insight to our distorted above ground visual perception of the ecosystem, mixed with some poetic unlicenced philosophy from some of the greatest naturalists to walk this earth-naked, in fishnet stockings.

The bee
Humans have 4500 years of recorded history from benefiting from bees, from drunken Viking mead or**es to the critical cog in our global fruit production. Humans have done extensive research on bees, we know how they communicate, we understand their behaviour, we have a clear understanding of the present dangers facing bees, the apex being commercial beekeeping practices.

Our lust for the sweetness of honey and dependency of the bee has created an adulterous relationship, lack of forage, colony fragmentation and pesticide use are just the side view of a disastrous affair that is ear marked to collapse.

Just because we don’t do anything does not mean we don’t understand why we should, presently the noise is just not loud enough!

The worm
In my eyes the first real rockstar advocating the earthworm was the last active, extremely attractive pharaoh of ancient Egypt, 2055 years ago, just 300 years before was the Greek philosopher Aristotle who had some wise cracks on earthworms, however naaa he doesn’t count.

(spoiler alert) The beautiful pharaoh falls in love with this Greek/Italian stallion and kills herself with a poison snake, before she steps off earth, she uses her power to acknowledges the earthworm as the gate keeper to soil fertility and made a drive for farmers to attract the “sacred” earthworm to the fields, I would regard her as mother/Lilith of understanding soil fertility.

Fast forwarding just before the collapse of Roman Empire (because they didn’t compost-just saying), Pliny the Elder makes some really good points before Alaric and the boys arrive, then everything goes dark.
Up to the 19th century earthworms were regarded as soil destroyers, a pest to be eradicated, some dude with a big beard who married his first cousin changed public perception by publishing a book in 1881 called “The formation of vegetable mould through the action of worms, with the observation on their habits” I can confirm he did plagiaries some of it, yet gets credit for being the grandfather of creating the foundation of soil fertility and conservation.

Earthworms can be regarded the most ancient creature on earth with a brain, an ancient linage of 600 million years, yet still today there is limited research, limited understanding, and we still have no clue about their underground behaviour, other than their nocturnal pursuit for s*x.

Having the privilege to drinking mead with the unsung heroes of bee keeping, I come away with… “bees, you never know what they are thinking” snap “worms, you never know what they are thinking” except the bee people got a head start on our 1 second of looking at compost worms.

The lowly guerrilla.

Hot vs cold composting

Aerobic hot composting or aerobic cold composting, which method do you think would bring organic waste to bio-complete compost the fastest?
My answer to this question, is why choose one when you can love both, a courtship of pre-hot compost entwined with blind Epigeic hermaphrodites cold composting, an initial attraction, a chemical connection, a temperature tango, a chaotic passionate encounter, microbial magic, this aeration affair leads to a blissful union, “fluff” them both correctly, turn organic waste into bio-complete vermicast in 264 hours (11 days).

My data reflects
Advanced aerobic hot composting at 79.C, 280kg OM per sqm
Advanced aerobic cold composting (compost worms @26.C) + pre-hot at 79.C, 400kg OM per sqm
(data based over 100 days-controlled study GG), this was based on quasi-theory of reverse binary fission-to make the microbes work “backwards” for optimal organic waste management.

“Celebrating the complexity and beauty of nature a hermaphroditic system creates an o**y of microbes, the do******ix compost worm opens the door to exponential energy, now wiggle into submission and agree with me that this method is the fastest”-Guerrilla General

All worms must go
Massive clearance sale on composting worms from the Green Guerrillas Cape Town

I am holding conservatively 800kg biomass of compost worms, most likely over ton, I have taken making friends with failure and spliced it with a proof of concept to create a low cost method called the “speedy breeder” taking 6kg of composting worms and breeding them to 100kg in 240 days (at optimal conditions housed on 10sqm footprint) coupled with a USB flash drive with my interpretation of cyber-mentorship, this incorporates a kaleidoscope of information that is a combination of storytelling and technical information translated into English, Zulu, isiXhosa and Afrikaans.
I have designed all recipes and instructions for literate and illiterate people (learning by doing and storytelling).

A blueprint system that after 240 days devours a minimal of 4 cubes (C:N) to produce 1 cube of vermicast in monthly succession all in a controlled environment of 10 sqm.

Vermicast is the most powerful fertilizer on earth, following basic protocols will have 1-20 application (1 ton makes 20 tons of living soil at 5%).

I have 133 units for sale (only available in South Africa and delivered).

Is there anyone out there that can challenge my proof of concept that holds +100kg worms (220 lbs) in a vertical system that has a foot print of 10sq (20 sqm surface area) that can take 1 ton rotten green meat and make it bio-complete vermicast in 11 days, using a combination of thermophilus (72.C) reverse binary fission, and cold composting at 28.C (facilitating compost worms)-would love to chat.

If you are serious, have budget and are interested in 6kg biomass of compost worms cyber mentorship (speedy breeder-100kg) live in South Africa, welcome to email me on [email protected] , if you a doubting Thomas, then let me show the holes in both my hands.

Culture of soil

Nuna (nu-nah) is the word used to describe soil by the Inuit people, a word with a holistic meaning from a culture that live in an artic landscape, permafrost, ice and snow.

Dirt (Dur-t) is the word used in American culture to describe soil, an old word for mud or filth, a culture with emphasis on cleanliness and purity, tidy lawns and sharp uniforms, dirt describes soil as unclean and messy, in American agriculture dirt is viewed as a resource to exploit.

Aina (ah-ee-nah) is the word used in kanaka Maoli culture to describe soil, a word that explains the spiritual connection, ancestors and natural world, a deep reverence for earth and recognition of the intricate relationship between humans, nature and the spiritual realm.

“Muck” is a word used in the UK especially in a farming context to describe soil.

I call soil earth, because it’s so fu***ng special!

What do you call soil?

Superoxide dismutase enzyme explained to 5-year-olds

Hey little munchkins,
Imagine your body is a superhero city, and in that city is some really small bad guys, we call these bandits “free radicles” they are like elected corrupt government officials, real nasty types and all they want to do is destroy superhero city.

Now introducing Superoxide Dismutase Enzyme is like Ernesto “Che” Guevara the chief superhero of superhero city, who fly’s around turning those baddies into oxygen and water, now remember kids corrupt politicians are a waste of oxygen and water and Uncle Che who is in Socialist heaven would tell you so.
So having a daily hero’s dose of superoxide dismutase is like having captain Americas shield, Cat woman’s body and being all green and strong like Hulk when he is not so pi**ed off.

Now little ones I am going to tell you a secret, I have worked out how to make the most powerful form of superoxide dismutase enzyme on earth, and I am going to teach you how to make it, because if you little rug rats can operate an iPhone then you are ready for soil alchemy.

Its bedtime now, tomorrow I will tell you all about phytonutrients, sleep tight, sweet dreams and don’t let the bed bugs bite xx

Would you take an organic pill that cost R3 (0,16 USD) that will:
• repair DN
• rebuild blood cells
• increase the production of haemoglobin
• alkalise the blood
• chelate out heavy metals
• neutralise toxins
• eliminate parasites
• cleanse and revitalise an over loaded liver
• cleanse the colon
• heal slow-healing wounds
• clear infections
• stimulate enzyme activity
• rejuvenate the entire body

If you are suffering with a long-term ‘dread diseases’ such as HIV, breast cancer, colon cancer and liver cancer, would you take this pill?
It also improves the immune system, has a positive effect on melanoma and skin cancer, menopause problems, aging diseases, colon and lymph cancers, candida, irritable bowel syndrome, bladder cancer and bladder ailments, thyroid problems, pain management, fertility problems and even brain tumours, the pill contains no gluten and will show instant improvement on your overall health.
Beyond the organic pills’ cancer fighting ability, by alkalising your blood it will safeguard you from dreaded diseases and improve your immune system and general wellness.

The questions is would you spend R90/per month (4, 85 USD) for one organic pill/day and if you have doubts of the benefits of this pill, what proof do you need?

In the year 2025
30% of South African children are declared to have “stunted growth”, this is a nice WOKE way to put it, or one could scribe, after 30 years of democracy in the rainbow nation 30% of the next generation will have irreversible brain damage, no pretty rainbows to see here, just words in black on white.

Fat cats bemoan the facts, 30% stunted growth/ Oh my gosh, Pish posh, Gucci rocks!
What is the point, of educating to eat right, when the food went left, out of sight.
Multiple micro-deficiency is a hidden evil that is robbing the next generation of their future, I present a scalable solution, a proof of concept, a guerrilla approach to taking poverty head on.
A primitive solution backed by science with a dash of technology, if you want to see a proof of concept in action click here to see Green Guerrilla JuJu Juice in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YiTSh7xp7XY&t=14s
