What is vermicomposting?
It’s a method of composting in which earthworms take care of peels, teabags
and other bio-waste from your household. Using a special vessel, the earthworms
turn the waste into a vermicompost that is similar in texture to peat, over the
course of a few months. Additionally you obtain a liquid called worm tea. Both
vermicompost and worm tea are great fertilizers with a high enzyme and mineral
content that enhance growth and protect plants from disease. You can use them
to fertilize herbs as well as indoor and outdoor plants.
Why to compost at home?
• 40 to 60 percent of household waste is compostable.
• Bio-waste doesn’t end up in a dump or incinerator where it doesn’t belong.
• You save money for fertilizers and provide your plants with nutrients without
chemicals.
• You will have a fertilizer with high content of nutrients and enzymes for optimal
plant growth.
• You have a year-around supply of compost for your plants.
• Your kids and grandkids gain practical knowledge of life cycles.
Basic Description
The worm farm is an interior container in which earthworms transform organic
waste from households into vermicompost and worm tea. This way you get
a high-quality 100% organic fertilizer for growing both indoor and outdoor plants.
If you are holding the product, which
has been made of recycled material
(gray), you should know, that slight
colour instability is a natural property of
this material, and so the colours of the
individual parts of the product might
differ slightly. You may also notice
minor visual defects such as coloured
dots or shiny smudges, but these do not
affect the function of the product.
What will you find in the worm farm package?
• Lid (A)
• Tray frame 2x (B1)
• Composting tray 2x (B2)
• Filter frame (C1)
• Filter textile 3x (C2)
• Filter screen – main part (C3)
• Bottom part (D)
• Legs 4x (E)
How do you assemble the worm farm?
• Remove the worm farm from the packaging.
• Remove the lid (A) and separate the frame (B1) from the composting tray (B2).
Gradually separate the frame (B1) around the edge to avoid damaging it (do not
try to pry it open). Remove and separate the individual parts of the worm farm.
• Place the frames (B1) on the composting trays (B2). Gradually attach the frames
around the perimeter of the composting tray to avoid damaging them. The
grooves of the frames must fit at the edges of the composting trays. This will
result in two composting trays (B1, B2) - upper and lower.
• Insert the legs (E) into the bottom part (D); insert the filter screen (C3).
• Turn the filter frame (C1) so that the tabs are facing upwards. Attach the filter
textile (C2) to the frame so that the holes in the textile align with the frame tabs
(C1,C2).
• Place the assembled filter frame (C1, C2) on the filter screen (C3). Push it until it
clicks into place.
• Now install one assembled composting tray (B1, B2).
• Start composting with the bottom part (D) and the lower composting tray (B1, B2).
• The upper composting tray (B1, B2) will remain empty for the time being. Its time
will come when you have filled the lower composting tray (B1, B2).
• Pour out the worm tea by tilting the bottom part (D) in which the pouring outlet
is located.
• The package also includes a replacement filter textile (C2).
