As you’d expect, your kids will find a book of simple instructions, complete with frequently asked questions and answers, in their Can-O-Worms®. It’s the world’s best selling worm farm – and it has everything you need to get your kids excited about composting and recycling.

This liquid may be frequently drained and actively aerated to make compost tea, or used directly as a soil amendment your plants will love. Legs – sturdy legs lift the wormery off the ground helping to keep pests away and makes collecting the compost ‘tea’ from the tap easy. The Tumbleweed Can-O-Worms is a medium-capacity worm farm suitable for beginners to experienced users. Our testers found the trays easy to handle but that the “stop” between them prevented worms from working upwards, even though aeration was improved. It says that it can take 3 months to reach working level 2, but makes no mention of adding a little food to working level 1 after x time.It’s a large container filled with soil, with drainage holes in the bottom and a lid to keep out the rain. 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. These worms will also be the ones to help recycle your organic scraps at home, so it’s just suitable to look out for them, as if they were like your pets.

This user-friendly unit comes in a tray stacking system, has five legs, and also has a spigot by the base (for where to collect the liquid from the bin). Composting Worms – worms will be sent out with your wormery unless you specify you would like to receive a voucher. Liquid drains through the upper trays to the collector tray where the drip free tap makes it simple for you to drain the compost ‘tea’ from the wormery as it is created (it can then be used as a nutrient rich liquid fertiliser that you can use, when diluted with water, to feed your plants).

You can just easily remove the first tray and harvest the castings from there, without having to disturb or remove the worms from the composter. The Can-O-Worms Working Tray can be used to replace a damaged Working Tray or it can be added to your worm farm in addition to your existing Can-O-Worms Working Trays. You need to add eggshells, worms will graze the inside of eggshells but it is the lining they are after, crushing them to a fine powder increases the chance that some may be used by the worms to aid digestion, as a powder the rest will just be mixed in with the compost, whole eggshells, even if broken up will remain just that, in fact, they can be a pain when left in the compost! The world’s bestselling worm farm, this Can-O-Worms has been designed to make turning your waste into a useable, nutrient rich vermicompost easy and efficient – it’s simple enough for kids to use to get into enjoying recycling! You should also take out leftover scraps (if there are any) as these may cause an odor build-up in the system later on.

Overfeeding can cause all sorts of problems, decaying food is covered in mould, bacteria and fungii this is what the worms actually feed on but when it turns stagnant it becomes a different thing altogether and worms will be driven away so always keep the food layer to under 2″ or 5cm this may mean that you do not add any more for several days or even weeks it all depends on the time of year and the size of the worm population in the wormery, feed a little at a time and watch what the worms have done with the last feed, winter is a quiet time for worms. You may be planning to keep your wormery covered or somewhere enclosed, in which case you may find our list of garden storage ideas helpful as well as our guide to the best garden sheds. The liquid produced by water and condensation running down through the wormery makes an excellent plant feed, it is no more than that, it MIGHT have collected a few bugs and a tiny amount of nutrient but the time you have diluted by the “20:1 ratio” recommended every where you might as well just water the plants! I then gave them a few peelings etc and let them get started on this for a few days before adding a larger amount of scraps on a regular basis. Note from our suppliers: On the Can-O-Worms we have 3 trays, the bottom one is a collector tray, which the tap screws into.Several times I've had to scoop out the fluid with a jug and WOW does it smell strong Once I've had the level right down I've flushed the whole thing out under the tap but there's nothing obvious that's causing the blockage; just sludge. I wanted to do that because I had far too much "fresh" food to go striaght in the wormery, and I hoped by bokashi-fermenting it the worms would get through it quicker.

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. 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. In this expert-tested product guide, we explain how a wormery works, what to look for when choosing your own and review several models in detail to help you choose the best wormery for you.

I have the feet in water but that won’t be great as the mozzies arrive and when you give the worms water, I’m having worm tea leak out at the legs and into my water containers to keep the ants away.
