The Good You Can Do

37. How to start a worm farm (and reduce your waste by 50%)


Listen Later

Worm farms help us divert organic waste away from landfills, where it produces methane, a seriously powerful greenhouse gas. They can also save you money, and produce valuable, organic fertiliser for your home garden and indoor plants.

Let me take you through the hows and whys of starting your own worm farm, so you can witness the magic recycling power of nature first-hand.

I'll guide you through the process step by step:

  • Why it's a good idea
  • The benefits you'll get from having your own worm farm
  • Which one to buy (plus tips on making your own)
  • Where to find worms
  • How to set it up for success
  • What to feed your worms (and what not to feed them)

It's also a great way to engage with kids and give them autonomy over a climate solution that makes a real difference.
