Tumbleweed Worm Farm

Overview:This Tumbleweed worm Farm/Pet Poo Converter consists of a sturdy top box with a lid, which form a neat, compact portable unit. A single bottom tray with legs collects the liquid and allows you to catch the nutrients rich liquids. The worms eat and breed in the top box, which is well aerated because of the base legs it sits on. This has a perforated base to allow any liquid waste to drain through to the bottom (collector) box. The "worm poo" or worm castings remain in the top box and can be harvested as desired. The bottom or catcher box collects the valuable liquid waste which can be diluted and used as a fertilizer on your garden.

If you’d like to let worms do some of your composting work, the Tumbleweed Worm Farm will keep the little guys happy and productive. Just prepare a bedding of a few sheets of newspaper, some compost or potting soil, throw in your kitchen compost, and they go to town.

Features & Benefits: The worm farm consists of two sturdy nested boxes. The upper box has a perforated floor and a lid, and the lower box is fitted with a drain sprout. It’s small enough to fit on your deck or in the garage. As the worms actually eat the bacteria in the decomposed food there’s no odor to worry about. Vermicompost is richer in many nutrients than compost produced by other composting methods. It is also rich in microbial life which helps break down nutrients already present in the soil into plant-available forms. The dark brown waste liquid that drains into the bottom of the unit, as water-rich foods break down, is also excellent as fertilizer.
