	very large scale vermiculture in sludge stabilisation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
		The driving force behind the introduction of vermiculture, or other reuse processes, is the global recognition of the need to recover organic material and return this to the soil.
		To be a viable alternative, very large scale vermiculture must be proven to be ecologically and commercially sustainable, capable of being operated without subsidy, on a competitive basis.
		Vermiculture is the process by which organic material is fed to a variety of worm species with the purpose of converting the organic material into increased worm biomass and vermicast.

		The earthworms most commonly used in vermiculture are called Eisenia foetida (also known as the redworm, manure worm, brandling worm, or tiger worm).
		The resulting earthworm biomass from vermiculture could potentially be used as animal feed as well, because it is very rich in protein (60-70% on a dry weight basis), and contains a more favorable array of amino acids than other meat and fish meal protein sources for livestock feed.
		In California, vermiculture is currently used mostly on the home scale to process kitchen and yard wastes.

	VERMICULTURE REPORT
		One of the major side benefits for the farmer producing the horticultural products via Vermiculture can be a significant reduction in cost as dependency on chemicals can lead to significant bank overdrafts for their purchase, and in some cases expensive hybrid plants that can work in a chemical environment.
		When seen from this perspective it then becomes apparent that the Vermiculture industry in Australia and the world, is not about selling worms but it is in substitution of the dubious agricultural chemicals with safe waste converted naturally made organic fertilisers.
		If you would like to enter Vermiculture commercially and successfully there is no need to "reinvent the wheel" simply email or phone us and find out how we can get you started as we have other successful Vermiculturist around Australia, Asia and now via our new CD ROM the world.
