<p>: Dyke and Levee Agriculture a process of worm farming and large scale composting that incorporates the recycling of discard tires as worm propagation silos. Discard tires may be converted into worm cultivation silos be carefully selecting and stacking them into relatively well sealed vertical chambers. Each chamber, or silo, may them be loaded with biodegradable compost, earth, and worm/cocoon culture. If the silo is serviced properly (given adequate compost feed, and moisture, and protected from predators), the silo will produce a perennial crop of worms and high quality soil. The silo may be dug into the ground, or may be begun at ground level and built up from there - a preferred choice over ground of marginal value, and where labor and machine costs are high. The silo may be used as a single unit, or in line with many other similar worms silos, or as part of a matrix (levee) of silos in banks of earth of standardized dimensions. Where may levees of silos are being used, service lanes (dykes) are placed between them at regular intervals. These dykes are used by the vehicle that will carry/pull shredded compost forage/feed to the silos, and will collect earth and/or worm culture, and for related machinery (forage blower, hopper, irrigation implements). The dykes also insure that if a fire were to ignite, it would be reached quickly; and then be either extinguished, or separated from other combustible materials, almost immediately.</p> |
