Business and Home-based
Business Opportunities in Vermiculture.
Earthworms
have been Natures simple little helpers since the
beginning of time and they have solved some very complex
problems. They have done what man couldn't do
successfully, recycle common
garbage/trash into a valued resource
until now.
How
much work is involved in Vermicomposting?
You
are already doing most of the work, each time you haul
your full trash cans to the curb. Instead of hauling them
out to the curb, just haul them to the backyard, garage,
shed, etc. and dump them into your AVSA unit. You will
make about 25 cents per pound for all your organic
garbage, newspapers, cardboard boxes, lettuce leaves,
grass clipping, leaves, even old cotton clothing!
Okay, so
everybody and his brother are going to start doing this
and the price of vermicompost will drop! These units hold
about a ton (2,000) pounds of castings (vermicompost).
Even at $.50 per lb. wholesale, you can still make
$3,000.00-$4,000.00 per year per unit,
$6,000.00-$8,000.00 for stacked and another stacked unit
next to it (4'x8' floor space) $12,000.00-$16,000.00.
Stills not bad, for just GARBAGE and a 4'x8' corner of a
building....UPDATE: Check out the current selling price
on the internet and do some new math!
Now, the
GARBAGE, you can call it whatever you please (recyclable
green waste, kitchen scraps, chicken feed, hog food, or
whatever) but it is still GARBAGE! And you will quickly
run out of it !
GOOD NEWS, buy
it from your neighbors! You can easily pay your
neighbors, etc, 10 cents per pound and make 40 cents or
more on their GARBAGE. You will be helping them out, they
will be paid for their garbage, instead of paying to have
it hauled away. You will help with the rapidly increasing
problems of the public landfills, and you will be making
yourself some GOOD MONEY.
Call yourself
"The Local Environmental Recycling Agent!"
instead of the guy/gal that buys GARBAGE!
Start
a recycling Co-op, where everyone brings their garbage
(only nice clean garbage, no bottles, cans, nor plastic
please!) to one central location to be processed and
sold. Spilt up the money or use it to improve the
neighborhood, build parks or even help a needy family...
Where to sell
it: Doesn't do much good to have a garage full of
vermicompost if nobody buys it! Contract with the city,
county, state, since this is a big political issue, it
would be hard for them to say NO!
It certainly
would increase the health of our children and pets that
play in the parks, where the grass and grounds are
currently saturated in chemicals, to have a SAFE, NATURAL
environment. What could be more natural then earthworm
castings ?
Once a person
can show that they can fulfill the big contracts with the
major gardening centers, they would be more then happy to
start carrying Vermicompost. Its just that nobody has
been able to deliver the quantities that they would want.
A neighborhood all working together could do it!

Finally,
its possible to put Vermiculture indoors (in a garage or other
structure) as a
business, instead of outdoors as a hobby!
Now,
with this Newly Designed AVSA Unit & Process, it is
possible to remove the vermicompost (castings) while
leaving the babies with the adult earthworms. Without
tumbling, rolling, shaking or letting one end of the bed
dry out!
Now,
simply open the convenient front door and remove the
castings. The earthworm babies and adults earthworms will
remain in the unit, where they belong, and NOT be tossed,
tumbled, rolled or stressed. The earthworms will continue
happily eating away, undisturbed.
It
doesn't stress the earthworms and everybody knows that
happy earthworms are better producers.
Finally, a
simple means of separating earthworms from their castings
has been Designed and a Simple Process incorporated into
it, that enables man to Profit substantially from the
earthworms Simple Solution to a Complex Problem.
