Composting with Worms: Trash Talks with Daniel Blando
In the third episode of Trash Talks, we explore the fascinating world of composting with worms. Our guest is Daniel Blando, an agricultural engineer from Argentina and founder of Punto Lombriz, an initiative that uses living organisms, particularly worms, to process organic waste and even wastewater.
But what can worms really teach us about trash?
A lot, it turns out.
For over a decade, Daniel has studied and raised worms as allies in transforming waste into nutrients and life. His story goes beyond engineering, it’s about observation, patience, and learning from nature.
In our conversation, we dug into questions like:
-
What happens when we throw food waste in the regular trash?
-
Why is composting with worms more urgent than we think?
-
Can we start composting at home, even in apartments or small spaces?
-
What role does education play in changing habits around waste?
And we went beyond solid waste. Daniel also introduced us to the world of liquid waste, pollution we can’t always see, but that worms can help us clean.
From trial and error, he’s gathered insights that remind us nature has always had solutions, we just have to listen.
