The Motupe parish community has developed this well organised worm farm and in doing so has strongly promoted the idea of recycling garbage as well as developing a commercial side by selling fertiliser in the form of worm castings.
The concrete bed in the foreground is similar to the ones under the shade area for the worms.
One of the key factors has the mixing of the garlic skins with usable compost. The strong garlic seems to lessen the odour of the compost. I suppose that is not too surprising because when you think of it garlic can tend to drive off friends!
The site also contains guinea pig sheds and an area marked for further development for fruit trees and vegetable garden. Thanks Trevor for the photos.
