This is our worm farm!
It may seem bizarre to be talking about worms on a jewelley blog, but i love these little guys and am in the process of bringing an aspect of these amazing creatures into my design. Not yet sure how im going to do that,(maybe play on the black-gold concept)but it will come.
Our worms and the worms used most commonly and effectively for vermiculture are known as Red Worms or Red Wrigglers. We feed our daily organic waste to them, with lots of love, and in return we get the best of the best --> nutrient rich organic compost as well as worm wee(super juice) which is a plant food and natural pest repellent. We started our worm farm with 1500 worms 6 months ago and our popultation has since tripled. We love our worms and treat them as we do our pets.
Recycling our organic matter (the worms food) and then turning it into nutrient rich material.
Reducing our kitchen waste therefore reducing our carbon foot print by reducing the waste we send to landfill sites therefore reducing methane emissions.
Restore, using our vermicompost to put organic rich matter back into the soil.... giving us a great harvest of organic nutrient rich herbs and veggies.
Vermicompost is the highest grade of humus and the richest fertilizer, packed with micro-organisms, good bacteria, enzymes and micro and macro nutrients all in natures perfect ratio. And its 100% organic (that is, if you eating organically from your garden or buying the organic options in stores).
No wonder vermicompost is known as black-gold, and Queen Cleopatra declared earth worms sacred.
