Do composting toilet worms get the blues?
Auckland Regional Council (ARC) has required the inventor of a worm-driven composting toilet to get professional confirmation that his workforce was not “traumatised or stressed” by its crap job, the Sunday Star Times reports. Colin Bell was looking for official approval for his “wormorator”, which relies on a colony of tiger worms to tackle solid waste while the resulting liquid residue can be filtered and “disposed of in underground trenches”. A council operative duly paid a visit, but became “concerned” at the worms’ working conditions.
