Worm Farms
We are selling worm farms, earthworms and worm castings for WormFarms.co.za.
We are doing this as a service to both our clients and to WormFarms.co.za and so we are not marking up their prices on the worms or the farms at all. We therefore ask you to please either pay by cash or do an EFT directly to their account (FNB Branch 250655 (Sunninghill), Account 622 6528 3144 and send us the proof of payment (witkoppen@webmail.co.za).
