Can O Worms Worm Farm Full Package

Product Information

Lastly, check the base layer regularly - as you'll see from my experience it can quickly get flooded.

Also, when I take all the tiers off, what am I likely to find in the base - just a few worms and some liquid? 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. The worms were harvested along with their original bedding and castings which is full of cocoons and juvenile worms. I harvest them from different bins for genetic diversity as currently each of my trays have worms from various sources.Also, make sure you have a moisture mat on top of everything, this can either be the purpose made stuff from Wiggly Wigglers (by it by the meter it's cheaper) or an old pure wool jumper. Worm Blanket – this is used to cover the waste contents of the wormery and helps to create an a dark, moist, aerated environment that encourages the worms to work efficiently.

Until January the can o worms was outside in the rain (with a raincap on) but has since been moved into a shelter. Ventilated collector tray with worm mound, tap and sump – the bottom tray of the wormery, it has a solid base and tap.

The wormery comes with a starter pack, which includes 100 worms, bedding, a coir mat, worm food and the book Composting with Worms by George Pilkington. Adding an extra Working Tray to your worm farm will allow your worm population to grow, increasing the amount that you can feed your worms.

These dendrobaena composting worms are self-regulating, the more food available the more they will breed. The world beneath our feet is teeming with life, and understanding the biological processes that make our soil thrive is more than just academic—it’s essential for the future of our planet. You’ll be able to avoid compaction inside (both the bedding materials and the food) the bin if you put in some corrugated cardboard strips or some presoaked newspaper shreds. There are thousands of species of earthworms worldwide, all of which feed on some form of organic matter but their preferences and habitats differ.

Worm Blanket – this is used to cover the waste contents of the wormery and helps to create an a dark, moist, aerated environment that encourages the worms to work efficiently.

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. This conical shaped wormery (60cm x 65cm x 95cm) sits on a metal frame which is on wheels to make it easier to manoeuvre. Design and setup: how clear and easy are the instructions to follow, what are the the siting conditions and extra features. It’s a large container filled with soil, with drainage holes in the bottom and a lid to keep out the rain. Red wigglers eat a lot (they can actually consume organic materials more than their weight for each day), can multiply in number real fast, and can live-off of spaces that are confined and congested.You will need to drain your wormery using an included tap or outlet every few days and the liquid can be diluted to a 1:10 ratio of water and used to feed your plants. On a technical note, I'm ready to harvest my first lot of compost (or at least see if it's ready to be harvested). Ideally, you should place your wormery in a sheltered, shaded spot, somewhere you can access it easily to fill it up and drain the liquid a couple of times a week. My only concern about newspaper is that it forms a complete barrier, so the worms can only get on top via the edges.
