• AV now distributing worms to Australia
• Compost restores fertility, cuts costs

Australian Vermiculture is the largest worm farm in Australia developing the highest quality vermicompost for farmers and growers in large commercial quantities. Most of the vermicompost is sold to grape growers and vineyards who are particular about the taste and quality of their grapes.

Australian Vermiculture has now extended its business to supply composting worms to the Australian market direct. 2009 has been spent developing systems and processes to breed composting worms, on a large scale, specifically for residential and commercial composting. The company is now in a position to take significant quantities of orders of worms for immediate delivery.

The worms are mature size so they are ready to start composting as soon as you lay them in your composting bins. This means they will also start breeding sooner.

While it is cheaper and more cost effective for the worm farmer to deliver immature worms, baby worms take time to mature, have a higher risk of dieing before they reach maturity and do not eat as much. Because of this you end up being a worm farmer before your organic waste starts seriously composting. Whereas baby worms born into your balanced, mature composting environment are growing and being nurtured in a stable colony. They are not battling for survival.

By supplying worms direct from the farm to you, you are lessening the time that your worms are sitting on shelves in shops. While on the shelves the worms are getting weaker since their only access to food is the base material they are transported in. The sooner they get into your compost bin with a variety of food inputs the better it is for their health.

Australian Vermiculture are now taking orders through their web site and over the phone, distributing anywhere in Australia. Wholesalers and distributors are also welcomed.
