We want to share The Magic of Worm Composting far and wide, to help people bring worms into their lives.
The Magic of Worm Composting is a practical workshop for anyone interested in a more sustainable way of life, which makes it ideal for gardeners, small scale famers, and those that want to grow food abundantly without synthetic fertilisers.
