MILESTONES of Vital Earth International

One.   We developed the worlds first transportable modular worm pits in Australia in 1992, this was after a particularly testing time that I have mentioned at our entry web site, fighting creditors and building a business on next to zero dollars, Yet today these commercial worm pits [ten years later] are the leading Vermiculture system used all over the country and now by an ever increasing amount Internationally.

 They allow for one component to become a breeding system, a safe transportable system, and an end use system, for many Vermiculture applications including, liquid cast production, solid cast production and ever increasing worm production and sales. We also worked with a microbiologist to create a suitable bacteria pellet of Aerobic compost bacteria accelerator now considered a must have by commercial worm growers. Contact us for the best prices on this amazing microbe mix for maximum Vermiculture exeleration.

Two.   In 1993 we introduced an intensive formalised Vermiculture training program, with overhead slides, manuals, exams, computer aids etc. based at our head office at Lemon Tree Passage N.S.W.We have never let up on refining this learning process and information. Our head office is the hub of our dealer network and we created our successful but limited Vital Earth Associate Grower network, with our unique guaranteed buyback scheme, this has become a strength strength behind the success of all our Associate Growers, who now operate in all states of Australia.

Three.   We perfected a unique and proprietary recirculation and enhancement technique for liquid cast in 1994, that today gives us and all our Associate Growers, the leading edge in quality, consistent, organic liquid fertilisers. This in fact was an industry first, not just for Australia but for the world and our company is proud of this very important contribution. The growth in the liquid sales area continues for our company, along with increased sales of top quality solid Vermicast. All Vermiculturists in Australia now benefit from independent trials completed by the C.S.I.R.O. in February 1998 in the Viticulture. [ the grape growing industry ] where increased yields of 50% has been recorded.                           [ Special conditions do apply ]

[ Note: For those that would like to know more about these trials and how they where conducted contact the C.S.I.R.O. particularly Dr John Buckerfeild of the C.S.I.R.O. ]

For trials and results commissioned and conducted by the Vital Earth International contact the writer Mr. Darryl Jones. Managing Director of the Vital Earth International Pty Ltd.

Four.   In 1996 we developed a computer program just for Vermiculture, we engaged a recognised marketing company Freedom Management from Queensland to develop the Business plan. click on their site above and go to Results to know more about us. We also commissioned a chartered accountant to develop the Microsoft Word and Excel interactive spreadsheets, this is the plan we use. This software can be purchased directly from the Vital Earth International however it is now in our all inclusive new offering on CD ROM.

Five.   On March the first of 1998 we launched our company developed Easy Rota worm separators, after a full year of research and development, once again leading the way with an innovative new product that works safely, and efficiently, to separate the compost worm from the vermicast. Since March 1998, this product has enjoyed healthy sales, with  over one hundred units built and shipped Australia wide, and overseas, into a variety of markets such as commercial worm growers, councils, dairies, waste contractors, liquid cast producers, piggeries, schools, grape growers, and hobby worm growers. This clearly indicates a healthy industry looking for innovations, beyond simple bath tubs, and windrows.

Six.    The original Vital Vermi-Converter developed by the Vital Earth Comapnay and launched on the first of March, 1999. The Vital Vermi-Converter is a product purpose designed, and holding Australian & International patents for application in the vast commercial organic waste elimination and organic waste conversion industry. This project will require an enormous quantity of compost worms, causing a welcome boost to the income of commercial worm growers.

 Plus it will now go on to solve local organic waste problems at the location the waste is produced, and meet tough new environmental laws in Australia and overseas, thus offering a very real solution and means of meeting the new environmental laws now in place in NSW and SA and reaching out around the world. We can really say even without ownership of a crystal ball, that there will be no return to the bad old days of incinerators, ocean outfalls and smelly rat infested tips on fire, as a method of organic waste disposal.

 Organic waste reduction and conversion at the site where it originates from, will be the ONLY acceptable means of waste reduction and conversion. The original Vital Vermi-Converter lead the way. The Vital Vermi-Converter  has taken Vermiculture into the new millennium in Australia and world wide, via a significant, multi-million dollar industry catering to substantial organic waste elimination via Vermi-reduction and then via Vermi-conversion to value added natural organic fertilsers, currently gaining ground as consumers look for non-chemically grown produce. 

Now we are about to launch our version two of this amazing system, the new product will have twice the capacity for the same footprint and will be available in March 2003, it carries Australian and International patents.

Seven. Now let's bring things right up to date, this is our most ambitious project ever. In 2005 decided to make everything we know available for the lowest possible price on a CD ROM. We wish you the same success as we have enjoyed and we will be there to give you personal email support as well.
