Composting worms

Main actors of the recycling of organic waste, composting worms are present in the first 10 centimeters of the soil, where they find their food.

Omnivores, the assimilate all organic food and all what we, humans, do not eat: food leftovers, peelings of fruits, vegetables, coffee (also with filter!) and tea bags, paper and cardboard (egg box in cardboard, pizza boxes), cut and dried flowers...
They accomplish an essential work for the ecosystem. They aerate the ground, huge labyrinth, that they untiringly build, and thus, allow a better drainage of humidity in the ground. From their digestion is produced the richest compost. And so grow all trees, grass, fruits and vegetebales, all what is essential to our survival, human beings...

But!

The worm population (understand all species) has already started to decrease. Pesticides, chemical fertilizers and tractors, little by little, are destroying these "small agriculturists", so helpful for our environment.

In a parallel way, in France, and in all the rest of the world, warming climate, acidic rains and other "natural catastrophies" seems to be more and more devastating. And last but not least, we have, on the surface of the globe and underneath, an aggravating issue: our waste!

Worms can help us save a decaying world...

Explanation of concept

RECYCLING OF ORGANIC WASTE OF HOUSEHOLDS WITH COMPOSTING WORMS

PRODUCTION OF ORGANIC SOLID AND LIQUID FERTILIZER

Caracteristics

- WORMFARMS can be either square or round, working vertically or horizontally. Several models exist. Usually, it is a box, composed of 3 boxes on top of each others, which dimensions are set to fit the number of persons eating in a household and their quatity of organic waste. Wormfarms generally have handles and lid and stand on legs.

- no smell
- hermetically closed
- less waste to throw away
- a rich liquid and solid fertilizer, totally natural, to use on all your interior and exterior plants anytime you want.

Wormfarms require only few minutes of your attention everyday. You can recolt the solid fertilizer at least once a year and recolt the liquid fertilizer as often as needed. Wormfarms are a individual and/or collective solution to our current ecological issues: they are the alternative to incinaration of waste, which polluting effects were scientificly proven to be noxious for the environment and for our health, especially for pregnant women and children.

Wormfarms are also a way to avoid very high costs for waste treatments for local councils and a way to educate the population to sort out its waste.

Artists from Pézenas and the region in action

The first wormfarms have been build by members of the association Art Bio and decorated by local artists: Kébir, painter and sculptor (Pézenas), Alain Chaud, sculptor (Pézenas) and Bona Mangangu, painter and writer (Alignan sur Orb). They therefore express their involvment in the protection of nature and the recycling of waste.
