Product Information

Fat, meat and oils are to be avoided, some that are “recommended” but we do not advise are tea bags, the tea is fine but the bag is usually man made and will not decay, another one often “recommended” the contents of the vacuum cleaner! don’t worms do not eat hair and bits of plastic etc that have gone up the spout. things to avoid – onions and members of the onion family, the skin of raw citrus fruit, cooked they are ok, you will often see “advice” that this is because it turns the wormery acidic, it is not, if you really want to know read up about a substance called d-limonene and why it is in citrus fruit skin.

A wormery should be kept in a shed or a sheltered area of the garden where it gets neither too cold in the winter nor too hot in the summerStep 3. Place the cardboard display that came with your Can-O-WormsTM in your first Working Tray to stop your coir bedding falling through.

The worm compost can be used as a general soil conditioner or as a constituent of homemade growing media. It is generally rich in nitrogen and potassium. Excess liquid drains into a liquid collection tray on the bottom. The tray has a spigot attached which makes it easy to drain and harvest worm farm leachate (worm tea). Using a garden hose using the "mist" setting I'm spraying down the bedding layer by layer and fluff it with my other hand to insure every bit is receiving water droplets The last potential reason for your worms adventure downwards is that they don’t like the new food or new environment in the new tray, even though they it might be the same type of food you feed them every day!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! – almost a myth.

Tonight I needed to start a Can-O-Worms for a customer so I took the opportunity to record the steps with some photographs.

This exciting new composting system is the result of years of research and development, to utilize the benefits of worms which are nature’s own recyclers. By putting worms to work in this innovative system you will be converting your food waste into nutrient rich, 100% organic fertilizer that your potted plants, garden and vegetables will love. What will start to happen is that the worms in the 1st tray will run out of food, and the natural response for worms is to start climbing up in search of a new food source. Worms are very flexible, and will start to squeeze themselves through the holes of the 2nd perforated tray base to reach the next level of food. What you are left with is the 1st tray full of wormcast separated from the worms. You need to keep the pH at neutral, worms are tolerant of a wide range of acid/alkaline conditions you do not need “conditioner”– myth. No, the Can-O-WormsTM is fly-proof against household flies. Sometimes the very small vinegar fly (often mistaken for the fruit fly) gets in, but these do not harm. However, very large numbers of the vinegar fly may indicate that you are feeding your Can-O-WormsTM too much and may be a prelude to problems such as offensive odors. To eradicate vinegar flies, slow your rate of feeding to what the worms will eat on a daily basis and ensure that freshly added wastes are covered by a moist newspaper or burlap bag.Once the top tray’s full, swap it round with the empty middle tray and start filling that instead. The worms will migrate up through the holes to where the food is, leaving the full tray empty of worms and ready for collection. Repeat this process each time the active tray becomes full up. Worm tea or worm wee makes a nutritious liquid feed for your plants Using Worm Compost and Worm Wee A. What you are noticing is the worms sensitivity to pressure changes in the weather. They will often go up into the lid even before it rains. In nature this takes them out of the soil to stop them flooding and drowning. Move the Can-O-WormsTM out of the rain. Take the worms out of the lid and replace them in the bedding.
