Worm Composting System
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.
