Worm FactoryŽ Compost Bin
|
You
probably won't teach them to fetch the morning paper, but worms are a
useful addition to any household. The Worm FactoryŽ is a
multi-tray worm composter that uses red wiggler
worms to enhance compost while speeding up the process. Fill each
stacking tray with food scraps, junk mail and other household waste.
Worms start in the bottom tray and migrate upward as they break down
the waste. This allows worms to separate themselves from the finished
compost making it easy to add nutrient-rich fertilizer to plants and
gardens without sorting worms. Additionally, nutrient-rich moisture is
captured in the collection tray and can be drained as liquid fertilizer
known as "worm tea". The Worm FactoryŽ houses 8,000-12,000 worms
that can consume 5-8 lbs. of scraps per week.
The 16 page instruction manual
makes set up easy and gives detailed instructions on how to manage an
odorless bin year round, indoors and outdoors. It's made with
high-quality post-consumer recycled plastic and is manufactured in the
U.S.A. houses 8,000-12,000 worms that
can 5-8 lbs. of scraps per week. Does not include worms.
