Southern Beaches Community Gardens

Today would see the delivery of the SBCG’s new baby; a Double Grande Worm Habitat from Worms Downunder. Compliments of MP Karen Andrews’ Communities Environment Grant, once set up and fully operational, the Double Grande Worm Farm Habitat will be ready to handle up to 40 litres of waste per day. In doing so, the Double Grande will help remove approximately 3 tonnes of biodegradable waste from landfill per year. All while creating soil enriching worm castings considered by many to be some of the best all-natural fertiliser found anywhere. Worms Downunder’s owner (Jen) gave an in-depth tour and description of the community garden’s newest attraction. The combination of the habitat’s various moving parts coupled with Jen’s thoroughly informative talk on vermiculture painted a picture that kept everyone fascinated.
