At Karoo Aquaponics Merweville, our focus is on sustainable farming practices. That’s why we’ve incorporated a worm farm into our aquaponics system. Our worm farm is populated with red wiggler worms, which play a crucial role in nutrient cycling and waste management.
The worms produce nutrient-rich worm tea, which we directly introduce into our aquaponics system to enhance plant growth.
We use vermi compost, a byproduct of the worm farm, to fertilize our soil-based areas, providing essential nutrients to our plants.
Our worms are a valuable food source for our Boschveld chickens, further strengthening the interconnectedness of our system.
We use straw and mushroom compost as bedding for our worms. We feed them a variety of organic waste, including food scraps, harvested roots, and coffee grounds.
Our worm farm helps us to minimize organic waste and maximize nutrient cycling within our aquaponics system.
With proper management, worm farms require minimal upkeep.
Worms reproduce quickly, ensuring a consistent supply for our needs.
Worm farming is a sustainable and environmentally friendly practice.
By integrating a worm farm into our aquaponics system, we're able to create a more efficient and self-sufficient operation. The worms play a vital role in nutrient cycling, waste reduction, and providing a valuable food source for our chickens.
