Here is a bunch of information on Compost Worms, Worm Farms and Compost Piles and how to recycle organic matter and improve your garden soil.
- Did you know that a Compost Worm is both a Boy AND a Girl. Every worm is a Mummy. And every worm is also a Daddy!
- Did you know Compost Worms are different to Earth-working Worms? You can't use worms dug from the garden in your Worm Farm.
- Compost Worms can "eat" anything that was once alive! What you feed your Worms really depends on the size and type of Worm Farm.
It takes 25,000 Compost Worms - about 6 kgs - to "eat" the organic waste from the average family of four. Being a success at worm farming is easier than you think!

Want to improve your Compost Pile?

Getting air in the pile is also important - and easy with a compost Mate tool (see video on our products page).
