Environmentally conscious residents of Bibra Lake might be interested in learning how to create fertiliser from kitchen scraps by using the natural activity of worms.
Worms can be used to turn kitchen waste such as vegetable scraps, egg shells and garden waste into both liquid fertiliser and castings, both of which are good for plants. At the session, there will be a demonstration by the Worm Shed. This is located in Western Australia and helps teach households, schools and councils how to use the power of worms to help recycle organic waste, with highly interactive programs.
As the event is part of the Home Waste Compost Subsidy program, attendees also have the opportunity to buy a subsidised worm farm if they bring proof of address. A worm farm can be located inside or outside in shade, is generally a fast, odourless process if well-maintained and produces both solid and liquid fertiliser.
Council-run recycling and sustainable initiatives that provide workshops might use local printing services in order to provide informative leaflets to participants.
The Worm Farming Workshop is taking place on Tuesday, 24 March, from 7 pm until 8.30 pm. The venue is the Bibra Lake Community Centre, 132 Parkway Road, Bibra Lake. A ticket costs $5. Lights refreshments will be available, and all should bring a water bottle.
