Sorry guys, post the wrong url of the Police Report Blog.

This is the correct ones.

http://thewormman-police-report.blogspot.c...an-scam-to.html

Since the creation of the BLOG, we have get few more victims in Malaysia who has depart with their hard-earned money but is not given a piece of worm.

We also has been contacted by Australian worm farmers who has been cheated by Wayne Fauser, the so called Worm Man.

From our talk, Wayne Fauser has a police arrest warrant in Australian airports.

Visit our blog for updates.

Thanks!

if i'm not mistaken, our moa's o ministry of waste management has this worm man logo as one of the partner-organisation on the blog

Oh! That is something new for me! Feed composted stuff to earthworms.

Yeah, like MJ mentioned, earthworms go for rotten stuff first, as they do not hv the teeth to chew them up.

That would explain why the hell did my cabbage stayed in the worm bin for one whole week before i remove it  laugh.gif

commercially, before feeding the food to the worms, the food is treated with bokashi to speed up the decomposition process. bokashi can be purchased in a small bottle (less than 1 litre) in some hardware or gardening store

yeah..where's your farm?

and about marketing the compost...i don't really think it's that easy...instead, i thought of using the same compost and grow something.

by the way, can food waste like cut-away meat part be fed to chicken and dog? any vet here? would it be unhealthy for these animals? i don't mean that chicken and dog only eating these wastes but just a bit out of a day's diet.

because from what i saw at my friend's house (in the middle of malacca's oil palm plantation) his mother rears chickens,geese, ducks and turkeys there. she has a dog too which she fed them with those kitchen wastes whenever she cooks.

This land I'm working on, Parcel 5 is in Sabah.

As with all business, everything is 'not easy'. If it were, then every1 would be doing it  smile.gif  I fully subscribe to the belief if you can solve 'the problem' by providing the best solution at the lowest cost, fastest time while making the recipient feels great, you'll have a good chance of making it successfully. Doing business was never easy, and never will.  blush.gif just my 2sen. I guess this was one of the reason the TS started this 'Venturing into Agriculture & Aquaculture'

Vermicompost, I'm starting this for own use, hence no need to worry about the marketing at the moment. I'll gladly share with you guys when I do the marketing  biggrin.gif My present short term goal is just to rehabilitate the land, at the same time doing a bit of recycling of waste material and learning (hopefully ) gaining some farming experience.

Food Waste, we also feed the chicken (Kampung) and dogs with these everyday. Meat waste are cooked, hence it takes care of the hygiene aspect. Fruits / vege are just given as is. The few Kampung chicken is having a feast of tapioca these few days as we are still clearing the Parcel 5. Of course the tapioca were offered to all our neighbors first and those remainder (small size / partially rotten) are given to the Chicken. Talking about tapioca, they can become quite a nuisance, as it difficult to rid them off. We are currently picking up all the branches (collecting into pile and dry it) and digging up the tapioca. Any1 has a better/faster option on how to go about this?

Got some results with the ants today, but i guess the result is just a short term thing as it's raining everyday, washing away the insecticide. Any suggestion on a long term solution?

ants...i guess you have to rear its own natural predator...try google it...

your plot is in sabah...i'm in kl leh...will inform you when i go there, ok?

i thought of collecting food wastes from eateries to lower the cost if i plan to go large scale(provided if i do it with a bicycle around the area)...after surveying a couple of them, the feedbacks are better than what i have expected to get. the foodstallers are more than willing to let me have these wastes as food wastes are just rubbish to them and wouldnt cost anything. i asked how would they like to be paid in return for the food wastes that i will be collecting everyday, they reacted like 'why would i charge you to have my rubbish? it's just...rubbish' . i wonder if it is illegal to collect wastes like this? (i havent start though, havent find a right place)

because, according to the law of waste management, it is illegal to gather or assemble large amount of wastes without permission. that means we have to get a permit to do so. if it is avoidable or unnecessary, of course it will be much easier..so is this act of collecting wastes considered as an illegal one?


Added on March 15, 2011, 9:32 pmoh, thanks TS!!

i will confirm you as soon as possible!!

mr.farmer...

haha...then try to cover ur plants when it is going to rain...to reduce draining of those powder..

i mean something like this
http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/1...or_organic.html

but not sure of the cost of breeding the flies or what other problem might occur..

recycling centre..hmm..is composting counted as recycling or reusing waste? but anyway, i guess it might be a better way though..thank you!!

kaiserwulf..frankly saying, getting the land is not as difficult, maybe applying for loan is. but as long as you highlight in your proposal that you might be recruiting bumi employees or anything benefitting them, or giving solution to the country's current issue, the bank will approve your application. correct me if i'm wrong

which area are you in? how big scale are you running? depends on the type and season, the worms cost from rm70 to 150 per kg..try surfing alibaba. but it's better if you can buy and collect from the farm itself..there's a lot of scam on vermicompost here.

pm-ed you this reply too
