Compost Materials: Can-O-Worms
FREE GROUND SHIPPING ON THIS ITEM!
Turn your organic kitchen waste into useful, nutrient-rich compost! The Can-O-Worms vermicomposter has a multi-level design that's easy to assemble and easy to use. Dimensions: 29in tall, 19 1/4in diameter. Can hold up to 20,000 worms in three layers. The Can-O-Worms can be used indoors or out, and it's easy to set up. Start with moist bedding (anything from shredded newspaper to peat moss, but not manure or soil), some non-fatty organic kitchen waste (too much fat and protein can smell and attract rodents), and some red wiggler worms (who digest the waste and bedding, leaving behind nutrient rich castings), and within a few months, you will have a large amount of compost that improves soil structure and aeration and promotes healthy root development. Generally, one pound of worms can take care of a half-pound of kitchen and garden waste.
It is not recommended that you use fruit or citrus in your Can-O-Worms, as the peels tend to last longer and develop an odor.
After your Can-O-Worms has been established, you might notice the presence of other bugs, such as millipedes and pill bugs. Don't worry - these bugs aid in the breakdown process!
If you are allergic to molds and mildew, you should probably keep your Can-O-Worms outside. Molds occur naturally in compost bins and aid in composting.
Red wigglers are temperature sensitive, so do not let your bin get below freezing or above 84 degrees Fahrenheit.
Every Can-O-Worms is made of 100 percent recycled materials.

List Price: $44.95 Our Price: $39.95 Redworms eat and burrow twenty four hours a day aerating the soil, getting oxygen to the roots, allowing for easier root growth and improving water retention. Redworms are a natural tie-in for cold composting. Redworms help keep the soil loose and consume ordinary soil and cast it back with more nutrients available to plants. The castings release nutrients slowly and do not leach out with watering. Just as important, earthworms are one of the most effective agents for loosening and aerating the soil. There are 1000 - 1200 worms in a pound. One pound of Redworms can consume 1/2 to 1 lb of organic matter per day. Redworms Ship On Mondays or Tuesdays of the Following Week.

List Price: $139.95 Our Price: $129.95 Composting with worms allows you to turn kitchen scraps, paper waste and cardboard into nutrient rich soil for your plants. The Worm Factory 360 composting system takes the effort out of composting. With a thermo siphon air flow design, the Worm Factory 360 increases the composting speed. Air enters on all four sides of the base exposing the bottom to a free flow of fresh air. Compost creates heat and gases that rise through the system and exit out the 4 sides of the lid. By using worms and this thermo siphon design you can now produce compost much faster than traditional composting methods. Master Gardeners agree, worm castings are one of the richest forms of fertilizers available. The Worm Factory 360 can be used indoors or outdoors allowing year round production. Now composting is no longer limited to backyards. The Worm Factory 360 is odorless making it great for apartments, kitchens, garages, porches and more. Each tray is 16X16X5 and is made from recycled plastics. Four trays normally provides enough room for the kitchen waste of a family of 4. Each tray averages about 12 pounds when full of compost. Use worms to recycle your waste, create quality compost and create a more sustainable lifestyle. Made in the USA with high quality food grade recycled plastics. 20 Year manufacturers repair or replace warranty. How It Works: Simply add worms and your organic waste to the bottom tray. The worms will start processing the food. Once the bottom tray is filled with waste add another tray. The worms migrate upward to the newest food source leaving the bottom tray full of nutrient rich compost. As waste is broken down, moisture filters through the system, taking nutrient rich particles with it. You can drain organic liquid fertilizer right from the spigot. |
