Worm Farm

Project: Polar Permaculture Garden

Posted by Benjamin Vidmar about 10 years ago

We have started a worm farm on 20.01.2014 with 1500 Red Wrigglers, 250 Super Reds, and Worm Inn Megas

  We have begun using worms to compost many of the valuable resources that are normally just flushed down the drain or shipped down to be processed in Sweden. It is going well and we are using used coffee grinds, cardboard and other wasted greens from the garden in order to keep the worms thriving. We have two species of worms, Red Wrigglers that stays shallow and Super Reds that dig deeper so it will be interesting to see how things turn out.

Legend of Badges

Note: The various badges displayed in people profiles are largely honesty-based self-proclamations by the individuals themselves. There are reporting functions users can use if they know of blatant misrepresentation (for both people and projects). Legitimacy, competency and reputation for all people and projects can be evidenced and/or developed through their providing regular updates on permaculture work they’re involved in, before/after photographs, etc. A spirit of objective nurturing of both people and projects through knowledge/encouragement/inspiration/resource sharing is the aim of the Worldwide Permaculture Network.

PRI Teacher

With the exception of the ‘Member’ who has never taken a PDC, all of the above can apply to become a PRI PDC Teacher. PRI PDC Teachers are those who the PRI recognise, through a vetting board, as determined and competent to teach the full 72-hour course as developed by Permaculture founder Bill Mollison – covering all the topics of The Designers’ Manual as well as possible (i.e. not cherry picking only aspects the teacher feels most interested or competent in). Such teachers also commit to focussing on the design science, and not including subjective spiritual/metaphysical elements. The reason these items are not included in the PDC curriculum is because they are “belief” based. Permaculture Design education concerns itself with teaching good design based on strategies and techniques which are scientifically provable.

PRI PDC Teachers may be given teaching and/or consultancy offerings as they become available as the network grows.
