Join us on a fun day building your very own CFT worm Farm valued at $175! Plus learn how these wigglers are great for the soil microbially, chemically and structurally PLUS reduces food waste!

We are so lucky have commercial worm farmer, Jeff from Warrell Creek Worms coming to the nursery to teach us how to make our own CFT worm farm. Every attendee will go home with a brand new CFT system along with a healthy population of compost worms to get you started. These designs are portable, hold up to 60L of castings and will easily fit into your car to take home. CFTs are by far the more superior worm farm design as it avoids the arduous task of separating your worms and cocoons from your casting harvest.

What is a CFT Worm Farm?
Continuous Flow Through worm farms have a distinct advantage when it comes to harvesting worm castings as they avoid the task or separating the worms & cocoons from the worm compost. Food is added to the top of the bin where the worms live and feed and worm castings are harvested via an easy-open door at the base of the worm farm. Plus this particular design is portable and easily moved as its on wheels!

Students will use a simple drill and hole saw with the guidance of Jeff. The session is family friendly but we ask kids are accompanied by an adult.

Join us and The Medicine Grove on a journey into Homemade Herbalism.
