Can-O-Worms Vertical Stacking Wormery
This advanced vermiculture system takes advantage of the instinctive nature of redworms to constantly migrate upwards while feeding, leaving behind nutritious castings in their trail. Vertically stacking trays make separation and harvesting of the castings and worms much easier than the older, rectangular bin approach. Worms are able to freely migrate between perforated sieve trays so that consumption of food scraps is maximized. This design has been engineered to operate aerobically, so that no fermentation or foul odors are produced. Removable lid possessed multiple ventilation holes for supplemental oxygenation. Bottom level with spigot conveniently captures liquid tea and features built in aeration holes for added ventilation. The Can-O-Worms was developed for indoor use, but may be operated successfully outdoors (in full shade) during the warmer months. Use top feeding, compost redworms for best results. Operational and assembly instructions included.

FEATURES- The 3 active trays with dual handles are interchangeable and may be moved vertically depending on worm activity and casting production

- Bottom liquid catchment level allow for collection and convenient dispensing of vermicompost tea while enhancing overall aeration with the addition of built-in ventilation holes
- 5 legged support keeps unit off the ground while increasing stability around children or pets
BENEFITS- Turns food waste into a value garden resource
- Castings contribute to soil fertility and healthy root development in plants, while improving soil structure, aeration and water retention
- Diversion of food scraps reduces trash volume, conserves landfill space and increases the rate of recovered recyclables
- Recycle the nutrients in your food scraps instead of discarding them
- Grow live redworms for bait or animal feed and save money on expensive worm purchases
