Speaking At Events – Worm Farming & Composting Education


Spread the love

I can speak at your event to help entertain and educate your clients.

Some of the subjects that I can speak about are:

  • Worm Farming &/Or Composting At Home (With Small Common Or DIY Systems)
  • Larger system training/education available, suited to large properties or hobby farmers.
  • CFT & WEDGE Systems (Larger Systems For The Hobby Farmer)
  • Aerated Castings Tea – Non Aerated Teas – Castings Water Extracts
  • Black Soldier Fly (Larvae) Composting
  • Traditional Hot & Cold Composting & Variations
  • Commercial Consulting For Large Systems Or Projects

I can design something to suit your audience and message.

I can deliver a lesson or presentation aimed at any level of knowledge, from basic domestic/home worm farming, up to commercial level vermiculture (production of worms) and vermicomposting (production of vermicompost) – or anything in between.

The presentations usually go for between 30 and 60 minutes, but could be half or full day Workshops.

Moree Plains Garden Club Workshops - 19/08/23

Moree Plains Garden Club Workshops 190823

This weekend I visited New South Wales, to teach at the Moree Plains Garden Club 🙂 (About 6 hours drive from home - yes, I will travel just about anywhere 🙂 )
I taught two workshops, about worms & composting.
We had over 50 people attend, with a mix of home owners and some farmers from large properties (100-500 acres.)

The club and all the attendees made us feel so welcome (thanks 🙂 )

There was keen interest in Aerated Teas and how they can help make worm castings go A LONG WAY (1 cup cast services up to 250 square metres by foliar application) - and of course about waste reduction and diversion.

I donated some items to the raffle; some samples that my friends at Bardee gave me to hand out (Soldier Fly Poo Fertiliser), aerated tea pumps, castings and some worm farm buckets.

Thanks again to the organiser Leonie and the club president Libby - and all the members - for making us feel so welcome, thank you 🙂

Landcare Field Day - Aerated Castings Tea Application To Grazing Crops - Esk - March 2019
LANDCARE - Brisbane Valley Kilcoy - Field Day, Aerated Castings Tea

Event Completed By Brian The Worm Man

Event Date: March 2019

Event Name: Landcare Field Day: Aerated Castings Tea & Application To Grazing Crops

Event Location: Esk

Event Subjects: Worm farming, worm castings application methods, Aerated Castings Tea & Application To Grazing Crops.

Event Suiting Ages: Adults

Comments: I was invited to come to a field day by Landcare.

The subject was Aerated Castings Tea and application to grazing crops.

I supplied worm castings (worm poo) for them to make an 800 litre batch of Aerated Castings Tea.

The members had some interesting questions and were very interested.

Remember, a 180 litre batch of Aerated Tea, made from 17 litres of worm cast can be applied to over 10 acres of land !

To make that smaller, 1 cup of castings can make tea to apply to up to a quarter of an acre !

Tea makes the castings go a LOT further and brings the valuable microbial biology to the party.

Brian, not a question but a great big hug for providing so much wonderful information Just read your post on UCGs. Amazing!

I look forward to many more enjoyable and educational reads and your guides.

Wish i had this information 35 years ago when i had cows, chickens, etc. and energy to do it all.

At 77 I look forward to incorporating as much as I can which is a lot. I'm a doer.

So keep the news coming
