As Refilwe grows, there have been efforts put into some business endeavors to fund many of the programmes that do not produce any income. One of the projects is a wormery. That's right, I live next door to thousands of worms. The worms are a special type which create compost and an organic fertilizer. These products can then be sold. I really don't do much with this project, but I spent the day with Sarah at an organic farmer's market nearby. She goes there on Saturdays to advertise the worm project called wormcycle. The boxes on the tables are also sold and they contain a layer of worms and compost (where you can put food scraps) and a top layer for growing herbs or plants which can be fertiziled with the worm "pee" from the bottom layer. It's an interesting project and you can learn more on the Refilwe website (for all of you worm lovers).
