Worm Farming

Worm Farms are easy to set up and maintain. Over time the food is replaced with worm castings and a natural liquid is produced from the farm. Both of these end products make excellent natural fertilizer to use in the garden.

Worm farming requires less space than normal composting methods, and is ideal for classrooms, units, small backyards and other settings in high-density urban areas.

Where do I start? Units for housing your worms are available through Blacktown City Council as well as from hardware stores, and nurseries. Or you can construct your own. Worm farming is a way of composting that keeps organic wastes out of landfill. Click on pdf below for Easy Worm Farming guide:  Fact Sheet - Easy Worm Farming Guide.pdf  (558 kb)
