Green Earth South Africa

Green Earth Concepts has been developing and implementing customised solutions in organic waste recycling, compost operations and organic agricultural production to help offset carbon reduction emission’s since 2003. The goal of the company is to assist as many small-scale growers with our custom made worm farm systems to eleviate food waste going to landfill, affordable farming methods, relieve hunger and create employment.

Green Earth implements organic farming practices on any scale. From back yard gardens to 100+ hectares of production, Green Earth practices carbon farming with microbes.  We enhance mother nature!

The Green Waste Recycling Certification is a course that teaches the learner how to recycle organic waste to be used as a feedstock in commercial worm farms.   The course is designed to teach the students how to farm organically.  The course was developed in accordance with Unit Standard 7612 registered on the National Qualifications Framework (NQF 2). Green Earth also offers beekeeping courses and bee hive installations.

Green Earth’s customised worm farms are designed to save money and combat climate change.  Designed to be robust and user friendly for our environmentally conscious customers. Green Earth compost operation produces carbon compost ideal for lawn dressing and potting applications. We also supply Vermicompost which puts “Effective Micro-organisms – “EM” back into the soils.  This contains water-soluble nutrients and is an excellent, nutrient-rich organic fertilizer and soil conditioner. This is great for your veg seedlings / pot plants needing some TLC and is also used in farming and small scale sustainable, organic farming.
