FullCycle Donates a Worm Farm to Victoria Hospital
On Monday 1 September FullCycle established the first of 12 Worm Factories we are donating to Victoria Hospital.
By the beginning of next year we will have established a working Worm Farm that will process 20kgs of waste a day.
Our worm farm at the Mount Nelson Hotel is three years old.
Over three year's ago, FullCycle set up an earthworm farm at the Mount Nelson Hotel in Cape Town. It is the first worm farm at a hotel in Africa. Our earthworm farmer, Luvo, feeds over 800,000 earthworms up to 90kgs of waste every day.
