Our Company is dedicated to a simple principle and
that is to use natural, non chemical, and sustainable solutions to everyday
needs. An important new phase of Vermiculture has
thus begun.
Thus meeting current government
objectives or better.
Even zero organic waste landfill is
now possible!
Taking organic waste and converting it automatically
into a useful natural fertiliser in one easy step.
Dispose of green waste as before i.e. directly into a waste bin. But
from there on the patented design of the Vital Vermi-Converter uses compost worms for the
direct conversion of the green waste into a rich organic fertiliser for immediate use.
Superb for lawn clippings, from residential, golf courses, bowling greens, caravan parks,
showgrounds, airports etc.
The key feature is that it is all done AUTOMATICALLY with the vermicast
solid falling to waiting trays, as the worm body action expels it from the
Vermi-Converter. Then via a unique surface tension effect the liquid quite literally runs
backwards to the collector tray and is automatically pumped back into the Vermi-Converter
at a controlled rate, until it too is ultimately converted to a ready to use liquid
fertiliser. Graph on potential for organic fertiliser.
The whole unit is self contained and powered freely by the sun's
energy, a sealed battery stores the electrical energy converted from sunlight, to power
the sequence timer and the recirculation pump. The sequence timer can be programmed for a
variety of spraying duration's and intervals, so as to ensure it can be used in any
location, with any type of green waste.
In New South Wales Australia an
act of law passed in 1995 requires that
there be a reduction of waste to landfill of 60% by January the first 2000.
Other new Vermiculture products such as the Swag have been
developed for domestic use to compliment these laws. We can now mail a Swag
to any part of the world.
In N.S.W. an all out effort by the state government includes a range of grants to individuals and corporations of
up to $100,000.00 for innovative projects that help achieve the above guidelines, this
a good indication of just how seriously the governments of Australia view the need to
solve the waste problem by the due date.
More from the state of Victoria
with several educational and incentive programs designed
to minimise waste and recycle waste into useful products.
World wide, organisations like New Zealand's Zero Waste and in the USA Sound Resource Management
lead with programs for Zero waste. A world full of opportunity now exists to make a
business out of providing services and equipment for what is clearly a rapidly growing
International market measured in billions of dollars. The Vital Earth Technologies
has taken a
leading position as an innovator in organic recycling.
Another local Waste Board on the central coast of NSW based in
Gosford has this to say at their Central Coast Waste Board site
MILESTONES of the Vital Earth
Company technologies
One. We developed the firsttransportable modular worm pits in Australia in 1992,
these today are the leading Vermiculture system used all over
Australia and now in many other countries, they allow for
one component to become a breeding system, a safe transportable system, and an end use
system, for many Vermiculture applications including, liquid cast production. We also
worked with a microbiologist to create a suitable bacteria pellet of Aerobiccompost bacteria accelerator now considered a must have
by commercial worm growers
Two. In 1993 we introduced an
intensive formalised Vermiculture training program, with
overhead slides, manuals, exams, computer aids etc.based at our head office at Lemon Tree PassageN.S.W. the hub of our
dealer network and created our successful but tightly limited Vital Earth Associate Grower
network, with our unique guaranteed buyback scheme, this has become the
strength behind the success of all our Associate Growers, who now operate in all states of
Australia.
Three. We perfected a
unique and proprietary recirculation and enhancement
technique for liquid cast in 1994, that today gives us and all our Associate
Growers, the leading edge in quality, consistent, organic liquid fertilisers. This in fact
was an industry first, not just for Australia but for the world and our company is proud
of this very important contribution. The growth in the liquid sales area continues for our
company, along with increased sales of top quality solid vermicast All Vermiculturists in Australia now benefit from
independent trials
completed by the C.S.I.R.O. in February 1998 in the Viticulture. [ grape growing industry
] where increased yields of 50% has been recorded
.[ Special conditions apply ]
[ Note: For those that would like to know more about these trials and
how they where conducted contact the C.S.I.R.O. particularly
the late Dr John Buckerfeild of the
C.S.I.R.O. ]

Four. In 1996 we developed a computer
program just for Vermiculture, we engaged a recognised marketing company
Success
Gym from Queensland to
develop the Business plan, and commissioned a chartered accountant to develop the Microsoft
Word and Excel interactive spreadsheets, this is the plan we use. This software
can be purchased directly from the Vital Earth Technologies.
Five. On March the first of 1998
we launched our company developedEasy Rota worm
separators, after a full year of research and development, once again leading the
way with an innovative new product that works safely, and efficiently, to separate the
compost worm from the vermicast. Since March 1998, this product has enjoyed healthy sales,
with over one hundred units built and shipped Australia wide, and
more than 100 have been exported overseas, into a
variety of markets such as commercial worm growers, councils, dairies, waste contractors,
liquid cast producers, piggeries, schools, grape growers, and hobby worm growers. This
clearly indicates a healthy industry looking for innovations, beyond simple bath tubs, and
windrows.
Six. The original Vital
Vermi-Converter developed by the Vital Earth Company
director Darryl Jonesand launched on the first of March,
1999. The Vital
Vermi-Converter is a product purpose designed, and holding Australian patents for application in the vast commercial organic waste
elimination and organic waste conversion industry. This project will require an
enormous quantity of compost worms, causing a welcome boost to the income of commercial
worm growers. Plus it will now go on to solve local organic waste problems at the location
the waste is produced, and meet tough new environmental laws in Australia and overseas,
thus offering a very real solution and means of meeting the new environmental laws now in
place in NSW and SA and reaching out around the world. We can really say even
without ownership of a crystal ball, that there will be no return to the bad old days of
incinerators, ocean outfalls and smelly rat infested tips on fire, as a method of organic
waste disposal. Organic waste reduction and conversion at the site where it originates
from, will be the ONLY acceptable means of waste reduction and conversion. The
original Vital Vermi-Converter leads the way
and is now available from TAT G the current manufacturer.
Seven. Our latest project in 2005 has
been to create a CD ROM on commercial vermiculture. This new package reveals
everything that is needed to be known from how to grow worms commercially to
how to sell them, or task them successfully anywhere in the world. This CD ROM
has 118 megabytes of information, including spreadsheets, business and
marketing plans, PowerPoint slide presentations with audio and a complete
commercial vermiculture manual illustrated with photos and drawings of our own
operation Go to this site and see for yourself. Click

Eight. The
formation of a new company Vermicrobe Australia Pty Ltd in 2003 as a
joint venture with Earthly Worm Works. Entirely new systems have been
introduced by this dynamic combination. Check the Vermitent system above

Nine. The
development of the new Super Sieve to clarify solid vermicast 2005 Available
from August 2005
Ten. At last the
second generation fully automatic solar powered (patent pending)
Vermi-Converter late 2007
The Vital Vermi-Converter Mk1 and now the long
awaited Mk2will take Vermiculture into the new millennium in Australia and
along with our other unique vermiculture innovations now world wide, via a significant,
multi-million dollar industry catering to substantial organic waste elimination via Vermi-reduction
and then via Vermi-conversion to value addednatural organic
fertilisers,
currently gaining ground as consumers look fornon-chemically
grown produce.
Now is the time to take that next step in an industry set to leap
forward, and enjoy a lifestyle business, with solid growth, and a long term future well
into the next millennium. Contact us soon if you would like to enter the fascinating
industry of Vermiculture.
