A Worm Farm is fun to keep and an economical way to recycle your kitchen scraps into nutritious food for your garden. But as the seasons change, it’s important to check your worm farm and adjust its environment.

With plenty of moisture in the soil and warming temperatures, Spring is the perfect time to plant new flower beds, trees and vegetable gardens. To prepare your soil, what better way to go than to lay down rich black compost created in your own backyard!

Pre-schools in Latrobe City Victoria are one step closer to being environmentally sustainable, thanks to a generous contribution from Tumbleweed, the Australian owned company that manufactures and distributes worm farms and compost bins to retailers worldwide. Greg O’Donnell, Tumbleweed’s Sales Manager, donated 15 ‘Can-O-Worms’ worm farms to preschools that will use them as part of their program to teach youngsters about sustainable living and waste management.

Recycling organic waste is vital to the future of our planet. Plus it’s the fun, inexpensive way to produce rich worm tea or nutritious compost to get your garden blooming this Spring. Tumbleweed is one great Australian company that’s doing its bit to encourage every household, business and school to get involved.

With world authorities examining ways to protect the environment, it’s timely for Australian families and gardeners to take a step back and consider how we can make a positive difference in our own backyard.

Tumbleweed’s Worm Farm and Compost Conditioner will help home recyclers across Australia get better results faster from their worm farms and compost bins.

Tumbleweed’s Worm Café is a stylish worm farm that makes recycling organic waste easy for everyone – even residents of inner city terraces and apartments.

One of Australia’s most popular ways to reduce a household’s carbon footprint is the Can-O-Worms from Tumbleweed, an odourless, user-friendly worm farm beautifully and simply designed to allow anyone to participate in recycling.
