When food and garden waste is sent to landfill, the organic nutrients become a contributor to environmental problems including water pollution and the greenhouse effect.

As around 50% of household waste produced is food and garden waste, composting and worm farming are excellent ways to turn these valuable organic nutrients into solid and liquid fertilisers.RELN worm farm

Worm farms are a great way to turn your leftover kitchen scraps into a rich fertiliser, especially if you live on a small block or a flat. They can even be placed on a balcony - all you need is a small, cool, well-shaded spot.

not to mention the worms can be fed to your fish - with a little cleansing.

I've been using a worm farm for years - believe it or not, to get rid of my dog's waste! I also put all our kitchen waste in there too.
You can get specific worms for this function but I've been succesful using normal composting worms.
