Farmer moves from wormeries to waste management
A business that started breeding worms for fishing bait and wormeries is looking to diversify to help with very specific waste management.
Neils Olesen, whose worm farm fills a quarry site in West Lexham, Norfolk and a site in Bungay, Suffolk, is planning to help stables dispose of horse muck.
The new venture, which will be called muckeater, is a further expansion for the firm, which now also has a garden fertiliser which is made up completely of worm faeces.
A trial underway involves stable owners testing out a wormery of their own which will produce the cast used for fertiliser from horse waste.
Mr Olesen’s so-called worm cast mine produces between 500 and 1,000 tonnes of worm cast a year, which is processed to create Gardeners Gold.
"It is recycled, green and we believe there has never been a constant supply of worm cast available in this country before this," he boasted to EDP 24.
