"Going Green"
Many ask "What can I do to make a
DIFFERENCE?"
In 2002, Carl and I asked that
question. We traveled to Australia to see first hand and up close as
to how the Australians were able to reduce their organic waste going to the
landfills by 65% in a 4 year period---from
1996 to 2000. We found that each household, office and classroom was
encouraged to use the Worm Composting Unit called Can O Worms
to Compost Organic Waste. One of these units, with the 3 trays and
starting with 2 lbls of composting worms, can compost 600 pounds of organic
waste per year. Just think----you can eliminate 600 pounds of garbage
from going to the landfill. Multiply that 600 pounds by the number of
households in your neighborhood, in your city, in your state. It is
mind boggling, the impact this would have. Less garbage is going to
the curb. Garbage pick-up could be reduced to 1 pick up per week
instead of 2.
Of course, this reduces the cost of the
vehicles, gas, and manpower and also lessens the release of emissions into
our atmosphere.
We personally have reduced our waste taken
to the curb to one garbage can per 3 weeks. Our recyclables are also
1 every 3 weeks. We can certainly reduce the over all cost and
expense of garbage pick-up.
The Can O Worms that has helped us to
achieve this goal, is completely odorless and takes up very little
space. It can easily find a place in your home, apartment, office or
classroom. The 600 pounds of organic garbage that you are going
to feed the worms, will yield back to you approximately 120 pounds of
worm castings per year. This is a Natural Plant Food that can be used
instead of chemical fertilizers. The bottom tray collects the vermi
liquiid or commonly known as Worm Tea. Approximately 24 gallons
of vermi-liquid can be collected from the Can O Worms in a year. This
Natural Liquid can be used instead of Chemical insecticides, fungicides and
liquid fertilizers. With all these natural products, we are helping
to remediate our soil and making NATURALS a NEW WAY of LIFE. A much
more healthy approach to caring for our lawns, trees, and plants.
We all can make a difference. We just
need to re-think our practices of the past and go forward with thoughtful
changes that will favorably impact the health and safety of all peoples as
well as our environment.
We are all called to be GOOD STEWARDS
of the Creation that has been entrusted to our care. Our
persoanl steps can be seemingly small but
when we combine them with so many other caring persons-----What
an impact our efforts will accomplish.
Call 1-800-237-4780 and discuss how you can
personally achieve your "Going Green" Goals.

We all are quite familiar with
our Waste Problems.
We know that presently we fight
to control pollution of our air, water, and "mother earth". All
the chemicals that are used for growing our fruits, vegetables and grains
certainly cannot be healthy for us. The chemically enhanced grain then is
fed to our chickens and our livestock for faster growing and tender
meats........ What effects do consuming these products have on us? In light
of these growing concerns, is there an effective alternative?
WORMS-----
composting worms, are an age old but almost forgotten solution.
Composting
Worms will "EAT YOUR GARBAGE". They will eat all of your
"GREEN WASTE" ie, paper, cardboard, kitchen refuse, grass
clippings etc. (They will not eat plastic, glass, metal, bones and
preferably no meat as it takes too long to digest) All the above can be
reduced and converted to a useful bi-product at the place where the waste
is created. The Bi-Products are WORM CASTINGS and WORM TEA.
WORM
CASTINGS are the excretions of the Worm after eating your
Garbage. They convert your Garbage to a very high quality plant and soil
enhancer. It is completely natural and organic and very highly
concentrated. Worm Castings are used for ¼" -1/2" top dressing on
your lawns, plants etc. It feeds your plants on demand.
WORM TEA
is collected by the spraying of the worm pits. The worm urine as well as
the other nutrients are combined and recycled. The end result is a liquid
plant and soil enhancer that can be diluted to a 1 part Worm Tea to 50
parts Water. (1-50 ratio). This can be used as a fertilizer as well as insecticide.
Again----all is Natural.
The advantage is twofold: reduce our
waste to landfills, while at the same time getting a return product which
will help us grow bigger & better plants. You can't go wrong!
How can you get involved in this important endeavor?
Are
you an apartment dweller, home owner, or school teacher interested in
getting your kids involved? Or perhaps you would just like to start out on
a small scale.. We have several products to fit your needs.
Click
here to see the vermi-reduction products you can use almost anywhere!
Serious Gardener's and Nurseries
If
you are a gardener or nursery interested in achieving fast results the
natural way, then you'll be interested in our Bi-products, Worm Tea
& Castings.
If you are a nursery in Central Florida interested in obtaining a free
sample of our worm tea to see first hand the amazing results you can get,
please email
us. Several in our area have been conducting tests of Worm Tea,
we hope to be able to show you the test results soon!
Reduce Organic Waste to a major asset!
The
Vermi-Converter.. reduces organic waste to plant-loving mulch quickly...all
thanks to our tireless friend, the red worm. Who can use such a machine?
Business owners, restaurants, golf courses, schools and others who produce
large amounts of organic waste, including recyclable paper.
Visit
our Vermi-Converter
page to see the benefits of having a waste bin that works like a worm bin..
Not only will you reduce your waste, the output is a useful bi-product,
worm castings.
