Kitchen waste and garden waste can be "regenerated" to produce wonderful compost and other by-products that enhance soil fertility.

While most people have started to recycle some of their rubbish such as, glass, paper and plastic, each year more and more rubbish is produced worldwide and our landfills are not coping. One way to reduce the amount of rubbish your household throws away (by up to 25%) is to start a worm farm and minimise the amount of organic waste we produce.
