Worm Systems & Compost Bays
Keep those nutrients cycling!!! A crucial component to any long-term food system, is to keep nutrients and organic matter on site and cycling!
Like most folks passionate about nutrient dense living food, healthy soils, and an abundant life supporting Earth for generations to come, I could happily, passionately rant on compost for pages on end! But let’s not because . . .
. . . the Permie legends over at Goodlife Permaculture have eloquently summed it up in this beautiful hand crafted educational tea towel.

Worm Farms ! ! !
Mate, how good are worms! Chuck them all your garden and kitchen scraps and they repay you with fertiliser gold. They’re the ultimate low maintenance pets!
Here at Earth and Wood we build quality, long lasting worm farms from upcycled second hand bathtubs and untreated Macrocarpoa timber. They are vermin proof, super easy to use and bloody beautiful!!!
They come in two sizes, which vary in height. One option doubles as a garden sitting bench and the other as a garden work/potting bench. Both include a seed worm population bedding to get your worms settled in and a bucket to catch their juicy goodness.

*Free pick-up from Earth & Wood HQ in Leslie Vale or we can deliver and install for a small fee.
*Please note the lengths and widths may vary slightly dependent on the recycled baths we build them around.
*In our experience most folks plonk their worm farm against a wall somewhere, so to keep the material cost down, we don’t clad the wall that won’t be seen. If your farm will be standing as centre piece with all four sides shining bright to the passer by and you would like it clad, add another $70 plus GST.
