Hi everyone 🙂

I’ve pulled together some info about Leachate to help people decide on the best course of action regarding its generation and use.

I hope that this document helps dispel some of the myths surrounding the subject!

Please read it and do some thinking for yourself.

I think there’s ways it CAN be used relatively safely – so hence the info sheet.

Don’t suffer from “Confirmation Bias” where you rather go on believeing something false rather than look at facts presented to you. You can find people that believe the Earth is flat – does that make it right?

Would You Liquefy Horse Poo And Spray It On Your Lettuce?

If not, then consider why leachate may be bad. We just “don;t know” what’s in it. Mine could be okay, yours could make people sick etc.

If you don’t know who I am . . .

I am a worm farming & composting trainer to Brisbane City Council programs such as Master Composters Program, Libraries Workshops, Kid’s Collective Educational Activities & I also teach at my own workshops & Northey Street City Farm.
I have two Horticulture qualifications and am also qualified to TEACH Horticulture & Worm Farming.

I have been keeping worms at home for about 25 years – and I have been selling worms since about 2013.

Currently I am a full time worm farmer – gaining all of my income from this business in some way.
