Help you plants and the environment!

Worm composting is an incredibly efficient way to convert some of your everyday refuse into nutrient- rich compost for your plants and garden. Our easy-to-use Worm Composting System requires little work but reaps many rewards. You’ll be doing your part to help the environment, too!

Worm composting (also called vermicomposting) is a simple way to recycle food wastes, even junk mail, and turn garbage into high quality compost. Bacteria inside redworms, the type used for composting, break down any plant fibers, turning the material they leave behind into a fertile amendment for plants. When worm compost is added to soil, it provides nourishment to plants, and enhances soil structure and drainage.

Unlike other compost methods, where space is a necessity, our multi-tray Worm Composting System is compact and can be used indoors or out, making it a perfect choice for eco-minded apartment dwellers, as well as others with a limited area. The system is odorless and can be easily moved from one location to the next.

Here’s how it works: Fill the bottom stacking tray with food scraps (such as fruit and vegetable trimmings, coffee grounds and egg shells), shredded paper, corrugated cardboard and other household and garden waste. (Redworms produce their own weight in castings every day!) As the worms break down the organic matter in that tray, add a second garbage-filled tray. Worms start in the bottom tray and migrate upward as they seek new food sources. This allows the worms to separate themselves from the finished worm castings—making it easy for you to access the rich fertilizer without having to sort worms. A collection tray underneath captures the “worm tea,” a nutrient-packed liquid by-product that’s great for watering your plants.

The components: The Worm Composting System is made from 100% recycled plastic. A ventilation lid allows for proper air flow to keep your worms healthy and active. The tray holds 12 1/2 lbs. of compost, making lifting and arranging compost effortless. 21"H x 16"W x 16"D. Kit contains 3 working trays, collection tray, base stand, tap and hardware and bedding materials. Worms sold separately.
