State of the Art Worm Farm


FEATURES SHOWN: This worm farm was built by our partner on a five acre parcel with very large oaks and some pines scattered in. It was built to utilize the natural shade rather than clear cut and then put up artificial shade or a green house operation. This farm has a total of 3,000 linear feet of worm beds which averaged 3100 lbs. of worms being produced each month. Some months better, some months worse, due to the heat. VermiOrganics has teamed up with this industry leader, below is some of the work they have done in the past
1987 - Introduced the first classroom vermicomposting bin in Solano County, California.
1990 - Worked with the University of California, Davis farm extension on the use of bio-humus produced by the worms as a complete fertilizer for tomatoes. Plots with worms and bio-humus out produced compost by 27%.
1992 - Introduced vermicomposting in Florida. A commercial vermicomposting bin 3ft wide by 40ft long by 20in high, constructed at the East Marion Middle School, Ocala, FL. Stocked with 50 lbs. of hungry worm consuming 30 lbs. of kitchen waste every day.
1992 - Installed the first commercial vermicomposting system in Brockville, Ontario, Canada on the grounds of a Physiciatric Hospital. Worms consumed between 400 to 600 lbs. of cafeteria waste per day. The bio-humus used for in potting mixes for the greenhouse operation.
1993 - Speaker at the Vermicomposting Symposium in Toronto, Ont. Canada.
1994 - 1997 has been increasingly busy years for me - speaking at the National Composting Council, National Recycling Council, and many other organizations. Worked with the State Department of Environmental Education on the vermicomposting K-12 curriculum and introduced vermicomposting into the horticulture program at UF. The highlight of 1997, was a call from the White House, a presidential advisor on the domestic economic affairs responding to a bold statement that I made about worm castings in an interview with the US News and World Report magazine.
1998 - In January travels to Baku, Azerbaijan to establish that country's first vermicomposting operation. This was very successful and has become the foundation establishing this industry in the most ecologically devastated country in the world.
1998 - In August travels to the Republic of Belarus to do a feasibility study on the commercial applications of vermicomposting and the marketing of the bio-humus and worms. I provide the with the latest technology, marketing techniques, and a business plan. This was a real challenge in country with a president that is a communist hardliner that does not want nor believe in free enterprise.
Today - We are very excited about our recent Organic Materials Research Institute (OMRI) certification. Our Black Castings may now be used in the production of Organic products. We have been pioneering the use of castings in agricultural, turf management and landscaping applications. From golf courses to hydroponic growing our products are replacing traditional fertilizers.
