Earthworms can work for you

Earthworms can turn kitchen or agricultural residues into rich compost, and within two weeks. Vermiculture is a simple way to get free fertilizer, and get rid of garbage at the same time. It is used on farms and also in urban areas, where garbage removal is a big problem.

Vermicomposting is magic!

It should be mandatory (although a micro unit of biogas is not bad either) ...

Hello,
Being bonsai ammateur, I have to eliminate considerable amounts of waste size, it's been years (since 1989) that I "vermicomposte" this waste in addition, it makes me ammendement gratos for my baby trees!
It should be known that there are several kinds of earthworms, those which are the most effective as the organic matters are little decomposed, it is the "Eisenia foetida" (correction of the Latin name the 31 / 05), those which one found in manure for example, they are small and very red, and very restless, these are also used by fishermen
The others, bigger, longer and lighter, with a very marked ring, are dying of already more decomposed matters. These are the ones usually found under the roots of lawns.
And I know a third kind, even bigger and even clearer, that dig deeper soil, about 40 and 100 cm below the surface. they go back at night to find debris on the surface and drag them deep to eat them.
They are all necessary for a biologically healthy garden.
For the compost accelerated by the worms, it is more practical to have an "exit" from the bottom for compost ready to use, it avoids disturbing too much the pile, and to put the worms in range of the blackbirds who are very friants.
The coolest part on the surface, the heating due to the fermentation, which can reach the 60 °, is not a problem for the worms who just go deeper into the pile to avoid getting "broiled" ".
Small anecdote, we sometimes use the expression "lecherous earthworm", it is the case, these bestiolles do not stop !! every night if the temperature is not too low, it's the total orgy! , try to see early in the night with a flashlight not too powerful because they hide when they are lit. They multiply so quickly if they have enough food. The only really dangerous things for them are drought and chemicals.

Hello,
Sunday, I posted too late the info On the issue of Tf1, 13h30, which spoke of ecology.
Everything was interesting, dry toilets, ecological village in France, straw house, heat accumulator made with bottles filled with water, and cement AND a composter in an apartment.
I find this composter very interesting, because I'm always chore to empty kitchen waste in the garden, summer, and winter.This is also interesting for people who live in the apartment!
From what I have seen, this composter is made of several floors, there are earthworms, and no smell! What more?
I found a model on the net, which looks like the one I saw on TV. A composter in the kitchen, no bigger than a trash can ...

Oops, I forgot to give the internet address.
Anyone know where to find this kind of composter in Belgium?
