Can O Worms Worm Farm Full Package

Product Information

You should also take out leftover scraps (if there are any) as these may cause an odor build-up in the system later on. It’s made in the UK from 100 per cent recycled materials and 500g of worms are included along with food and bedding.

The environmental and economical benefits of having a wormery almost go without saying, reducing a household’s compostable waste output, while creating an invaluable gardening material. Packed with features including the ventilated lid, working trays, and collector tray for increased airflow. The worms will then start to feed on your waste, it may take them days or even weeks to get stuck in, do not be tempted to keep adding more and more food, once you see the worms really active in this layer then add another, slightly larger mug full, only add more when you see the food disappearing, continue this until the whole tray surface is covered don’t feed to a depth of more than a couple of inches or 5cm.

Secondly, I thought I had been draining the sump at the bottom, but it seems the tap had got blocked.

After the red wigglers have eaten mostly everything on the first tray, and have already produced their castings, they will then go up the next food source (the next tray). Round, fly proof, ventilated lid – helping to create the dark environment which the worms prefer, this lid will prevent vermin or pests from entering the wormery and protect the contents from rain. When the tray is full right to the brim add a new tray, the bottom of this new tray must be in contact with the surface of the full tray below, this now becomes the feeding tray and you just continue putting your waste into this tray.

Chop up food scraps as small as possible – normal food scraps are fine but avoid large quantities of meat, citrus, onion and dairy foods. p>

Within the Can-O-Worms® built in mounds encourages worms to move from the collector trays to the working trays. In addition to this, whenever you cover up food with newspaper or cardboard, you will never be able to tear it perfectly to fit along the rounded sides.

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.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.

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 is the largest worm bin offered by The Worm Farm, and is an odorless, user-friendly worm composting system that allows anyone to participate in recycling and garden enrichment through composting. The compost is harvested by emptying the bin completely, which means separating it from the worms and unprocessed waste.
