Worms in the garden- with Wormly

Worms are one of the most important creatures in our soil and gardens, not only do they eat organic material such as old fallen leaves and turn them into new soil, they add air and fluff up the soil as they move around in it, creating a healthier, and better environment for their microbe friends who also live in the soil.

Recently we discovered a new Melbourne based company called Wormly, who make worm hotels for small and large gardens. With sustainability in mind, their mission is to help nature close the loop on food waste. They produce a plant based biopolymer (not a plastic) called PLA, which is derived from renewable sources such as corn starch and 3D print it into in-ground worm farms, or "worm hotels" that turns household food scraps into nutrient rich compost for your garden.

We were impressed by their sustainable packaging too, and the "worms and ladders" type of board game called Worms and Compost slides, that was gifted with the worm hotels. We look forward to playing this with our community at future events!

Wormly worm hotels are a great way to begin your worm farming journey, stay tuned for further worm farming posts including a tour to a local property to see how they farm their worms on a larger scale.
