About Us
Mother Earthworms cc (CK2000/034441/23) is a specialist worm breeding and composting farm in Rheenendal, Knysna. We manufacture vermicompost and vermiliquid using Eisenia Fetida (Kariba or Tiger) composting worms. These unique worms are best suited for composting, and assist in breaking down, eating and reconstituting decaying organic matter into premium soil food. The virtues of vermiculture are well known, with farmers as well as gardeners demanding better organic alternatives.
Eisenia Fetida Composting Worms
As the common name suggests, the Kariba worm is found within Africa, and is not on the invasive worm species list. The Eisenia Fetida worm is in fact endemic to MOST countries!
It is in fact, considered world-over as possibly the best and most resilient composting worm. Vermiculture (worm breeding) and vermicomposting (using the Eisenia Fetida worms) are proving invaluable, as farmers, food schemes and conservation initiatives can better use their OWN green waste within a specific community and/or programme, thus lessening the cost for expensive fertilizers, and preventing wasteful and unhygienic landfills.
This nitrogen and phosphate-rich compost ensures optimal plant health and growth, while being a safe and organic solution – offering massive cost savings and opportunities for small to medium enterprises and communities. Worm farming and vermicomposting is the ultimate “job creation cum food security” option, as the entry level is open to all.
Mother Earthworms is a medium-to-large scale worm farm, and has assisted many people in South Africa to “Get Worming”…We have packaged and couriered hundreds of worm farms (small and large) and worms across South Africa over the last few years, and maintain very high standards in terms of courier requirements and regulations.
Pure plant pleasure using vermicompost
We welcome any and all questions, input and feedback. Our farm is always open for a visit:) We value your interest, and know that given the current and future economic and food scarcity our globe faces, vermiculture, and vermicomposting offers sustainable solutions for all!
Best regards and Get Worming!
