Product Information

As an advocate for environmental education, I’m thrilled to share how schools and educational institutions are turning to educational composting projects to enrich their […] Read more. Finished compost is removed from the bottom tray and once emptied this is placed back on top of the other trays to repeat the process. Valuable “Worm Tea” works its way down to the collector tray where you can utilize the handy tap to dispense the tea and use it as liquid organic fertilizer for all your plants. Two large capacity round working trays – the first tray is fitted onto the collector tray and the bedding block is added together with the worms and your organic waste. This is a 2-tier model (one leachate collection and two active trays) and I will be preparing one of the two trays which will be the current feeding tray.

Worms and a coir mat are included with the starter model and there is the option to add a planting tray to the top or use it as a seat, with a load of up to 100kg. This multi-leveled composter keeps worms on the bottom tray, and all you’ll have to do is feed them your unused food scraps! Add the contents of your vacuum cleaner, no, worms will not eat the hair and very little of the other junk that’s in there, they may consume the dead skin but why bother when there is a better choice elsewher all you end up with is hair mixed in with your finished compost.

It’s a large container filled with soil, with drainage holes in the bottom and a lid to keep out the rain.

It’s made in the UK from 100 per cent recycled materials and 500g of worms are included along with food and bedding. This composter eliminates the need for all apocalyptic chemicals, by harnessing the organic power of the world’s most intelligent gardeners, Worms! The first problem may be you find on a new set up is the worms crawling up the sides and out under the lid, if you have used our worm and bedding kit this will stop most of this but it can still happen, if you use coir, just newspaper/cardboard as often recommended or any unsuitable bedding such as garden centre potting compost it will almost certainly happen, it can happen when the weather is wet and forecasting rain and the pressure is low, the fact that the worms have been harvested, packed and transported can also cause this, they are just agitated! Since switching to the bokashi stuff the worms don't seem interested, in fact they're hardly moving into tier 2 and 3, preferring to stay in tier 1.You need to add eggshells, worms will graze the inside of eggshells but it is the lining they are after, crushing them to a fine powder increases the chance that some may be used by the worms to aid digestion, as a powder the rest will just be mixed in with the compost, whole eggshells, even if broken up will remain just that, in fact, they can be a pain when left in the compost! div>
850g Worm Farm and Compost Conditioner – developed to help neutralize acidity and balance pH levels so that your composting worms can digest larger quantities of waste faster. I'm about to start adding Bokashi compost so I'll get back to you on that one but as a general principle you shouldn't add masses at any one time. The Can O Worms provides a quick, odorless and space efficient way to convert kitchen scraps into rich, crumbly vermicompost.

Once the bedding is well moisten I pickup the bucket of worms I have collected from my breeding trays and various bins. I usually add about half the depth of the tray or more knowing that this layer will quickly drop down in level as the bedding breaks down and compacts. And you will occasionally lift the trays for general housecleaning and checking the conditions in the bin.The tray has a spigot attached which makes it easy to drain and harvest worm farm leachate (worm tea). I wanted to do that because I had far too much "fresh" food to go striaght in the wormery, and I hoped by bokashi-fermenting it the worms would get through it quicker.
