The past Problems of Separating
Vermicompost before AVSA and the benefits of AVSA versus other
methods
|
 |
The problems that I have
encountered in the past are:
 |
The weather was unpredictable, which made it rough on me and
the earthworms, we (me and them) were frozen, rained on, burnt up in the
summer sun and generally made to feel miserable. I did not perform to my
optimum, nor did they....My performance suffered drastically, as did
theirs, they did their part, as did I, but we were fighting a
continually changing environment, with new challenges daily...that
sapped our energy and depleted our resources. |
|
|
The beds were under constant attack by pests, both the
detrimental as well as "just pest" types. These pests (moles, birds, mice,
insects, lizards, frogs, toads, spiders and everything else took their
toll on the earthworms, as well as me. Many a time I opened the lid to
find a field mouse pouncing out at me...plus numerous other critters. The
obvious being, they were eating the earthworms, cutting the production of
castings and worms both. They were also sending my heart a fluttering
seriously endangering my sanity....and health.
|
| The Major
Problem was the removing of the castings from the beds. This was being
done partially successfully by the other growers. They were tumbling,
rolling, shaking and waiting while one end of the bed dried out. Some were
putting different types of feed on one end and a few days later, taking
the feed with the adult worms out....but the babies and un-hatched egg
capsules remained in the castings. |
| Some of
the more industrious, hauled the entire bed out into the hot sun, (OH, my
back) left it in the sunshine, scrapped off the different layers as the
worms were stressed enough to go deeper down. The eggs remained in the
layers being removed....The worms were stressed and so was the growers
back...it worked to get worms to sell, but not for the castings. |
| So, what
is the difference? |
| These
AVSA Units (beds/bins) were designed to be used indoors, out of the
weather. |
| The Pests
are easily controlled and don't "eat their fill" at your expense. Saves on
the blood pressure / stress level as well! |
| The
castings (vermicompost) is quickly and easily removed through the front
door, and the need to bend over and shovel is gone... just scoop it into a
wheelbarrow and away you go. |
| With AVSA
the worms and eggs are safely secured in a special compartment that keeps
them safe and sound, where they are unharmed and unstressed by the entire
process. |
| Since the
AVSA units were designed to be stackable, the cost of indoor floor space
quickly pays for itself, as do the units.. |
| AVSA
removes all of these past problems and promises a future full of
solutions. |
