The Worm Shed has been developed as an Eco Education Centre, catering primarily for students.

The farm itself is a self-sustainable ecosystem, which demonstrates simple recycling methods using worms.

Making individual Wormeries
Every student can make their own Wormery to keep, they just need a 2 litre
cool drink bottle each and we supply the rest.
OR
Make a Worm Observation Unit for the Classroom.
The Class is to provide the container to be used for the 'Worm Observation Unit'
eg. Aquarium / terrarium / large bowl or similar (approx. size 30cmL x 25cmH x 25cmW).

Note: both student Wormeries and Observation Unit can be made for an extra cost.
