Worm farming for nearly 30 years

Happy worms, rich compost – friendly help from Stephan

Stephan Kloppert with his nephew Mika

Hi, I’m Stephan. I have been farming worms for nearly 30 years, first in South Africa, then in Germany, and I’m still learning from these marvelous creatures. Since 2012 I share what works here – simple, step by step, so your bin stays healthy and your garden gets the good stuff.
