Davo's Worm Farm

• Davo's Worm Farms is a family business conducted by David and Beth Davidson at their 40 hectare mixed farm at Broomfield in Central Victoria.. David is the current President of the Australian Wormgrowers Association Vermiculture Inc. and has recently been featured in "Acres Australia" .. the Australian Newspaper for Sustainable Agriculture.
  He has also had two DVD's produced through www.farmingsecrets.com One focussing on the role of Vermicomposting in Agriculture and the other focussing on Vermicomposting for the home gardener. Viewers of these DVD's have remarked on David's simple but effective communication style, which is combined with extensive practical knowledge.
  Davids philosophy is based around Farmers learning how to access the 78% nitrogen content in the free air we breathe as well as accessing the minimum 6 kilometers of mineral laden rock lying beneath the earths crust.
  The key to his system is understanding the role that the micro-biology and earthworms play in Mother Natures plan for healthy and sustainable growing of food. For further details, contact David at www.davoswormfarms.com.au
