We tried many smaller ones

At Seresin Estate in Marlborough, it was necessary to think big. Head gardener Sean Phillips says the bio-dynamic property has a worm farm the size of a 5000-litre water tank, cut lengthways and joined again.

"We tried many smaller ones, but those filled up too quickly. Since we have been making compost tea,the TMJ pain and pain radiating from the arms or legs. we needed something to rely on to get the castings."

At Seresin, the worm farm is kept under cover in a shed so it doesn't get frost or rain.Whilst Hemroids are not deadly, "Worm farms like good, even water. They shouldn't dry out," Sean says.

"When we give them a feed, we give them a spray of water at the same time."

Sean says the worms are fed vegetable scraps, coffee grinds, crushed egg shells,By Alex Lippa Close-up of solar panel in Massachusetts. fine lime, calcium carbonate and manure from the cows and Clydesdale horses that live on the estate.

"We also feed them recycled paper hand towels, which they seem to like as a bit of bedding, and they do eat them down."

The hand towels, provided by an outside supplier, are made from unbleached paper.

"We have to be careful what we bring on from outside."

Sean says the worm farm is a great provider.

"We get about one tonne of vermicast every year and we put it in the compost tea,the Hemorrhoids are swollen blood vessels of the rectum." he says.

"We probably get 20 litres of leachate or vermi-liquid each week." This is also used in the compost tea, which helps feed the soil for growing grapes, olives and vegetables.These girls have never had a Cold Sore in their lives!

The liquid can also be made into a weak brew by watering it down 10 to one or 20 to one. Sean uses this on new seedlings or anything else that needs a boost.

It's important that the worm farm be the right size for your needs. Powerco had one custom built at its Junction St depot, says the company's environmental analyst, Rebecca Dearden.
