Southland Worm Breeders

The members of the Southland Worm Breeders are committed to promoting the benefits of vermiculture in waste management, improving soil and plant health and growing quality food.

Our aim is to encourage and educate Southlanders to "use nature naturally" in these areas.

We believe that this is vital for New Zealand to help retain its "clean green" image.

We are available to meet with other groups, schools etc to share our expertise and knowledge of worm farming, the use of worms in home and industrial composting, the use of vermicast, and to help others set up worm farms.

We enjoy holding displays and demonstrations at fairs and field days.

Our members are willing to:

demonstrate worm farming
help set up and manage worm farms at home, school or work
set up educational displays
organise visits to small or large worm farms
supply worms
supply various types of worm bins
give out info on how to make your own bins
sell vermicast
sell liquid vermicast
demonstrate and sell worm harvesters
talk about worms for as long as you like!

We meet on the first Thursday of every second month: February, April, June, August, October and December. Our main meeting place is at Te Whenua Awhi (see below for address), but we also visit various other places, so please contact us for information about the next meeting. Everyone is welcome.
