Propagating NATIVE seedlings in Kaipara

Airltye in WORM FARMS

As cardboard is carbon-rich and absorbent, cardboard bedding materials are essential for keeping the bin in equilibrium. In comparison to any other substance common bedding such as pine, Airlyte corrugated cardboard pieces are superior at containing moisture. Since worms require oxygen to survive, the addition of chopped cardboard encourages airflow.

SUCCESS with PROPAGATION

“I have 3 ½ acres of land, and needed an economical solution as my goal is to regenerate it. I did an experiment in May 2022 with Airlyte to propagate some native seedlings. I sprinkled two handfuls of seeds on some soli in a washing basket in May covered with a deep layer of Airlyte, watered it and left it over the winter. Come September I got 30 seedlings to begin my Native corridor beside the stream. Next year I will do the same method on a larger scale”

“IF ONLY PEOPLE KNEW HOW SIMPLE IT IS TO USE."

Lee-Ann’s testimonial: “Just want say I am thrilled and also amazed at how well AIRLYTE is working for our composting toilet. We bought The Humanure Composting book, and have followed their system for a composting toilet. Instead of sawdust we are using AIRLYTE recycled cardboard.

3 months later I am so impressed. It is the cleanest smelling, and most pleasant alternative I have ever used. It is for our small bakery staff of 4.”

“We fill a bucket every week, to maybe a fortnight, then take the full bucket out, put the lid on and put a new bucket in. When we are able, even days later we compost the full bucket. 

THERE IS NO SMELL!!

The compost does not smell either, it is easy to empty the bucket, not hard work at all!”

 “A WINNER FOR US AND THE ENVIRONMENT.”
