Hanging Worm Hotel + Stand Kit
This unique worm bin has been designed with practicality in mind. The 4 top loops allow for suspension from the DIY sturdy stand. Durable Cordura poly fabric insures long life while resisting the elements. Simply unzip the mesh cover, dump food scraps and let the wormies do the rest. Compost tea dribbles quietly through the lower opening while finished casting accumulate at the tapered bottom. Harvest is easy and fun using the drawstring closure. Simply open, squeeze gently on the bottom walls, and push the casting out into a receiving bucket. The vast majority of redworms remain in the top feeding sections, eliminating the need for manually separation of worms from compost. Please note: stand corners always come in white. Black stand has been painted to illustrate possibilities. Body Colors Available: RED | GREEN | CAMO | BROWN | PURPLE
This item CAN ship to GU, PR, AK and HI for $14

- Heavy-duty Cordura nylon fabric is long lasting and
resistant to abrasions, tears and scruffs
- Strong top loops allow unit to hang, supporting the full
weight of an actively-feeding redworm colony
- Unique suspension style keeps system off the ground and away
from pets and hungry critters
- Continuous flow, tapered body design directs finished
castings down to the lower section
- Draw string constricts bottom opening, allowing liquids to
continuously drain, but hold back castings until operator is ready to harvest
- No foul odors or muddy castings like with traditional worm bins
- Takes advantage of the natural instinct of redworms to constantly
eat upwards
- No need to dump entire contents to manually separate worms
from castings - bottom layers are virtually free of worms, which are busy
feeding near the top
- May be placed indoors or outdoors if protected from direct
sunlight
- Range of colors satisfies most aesthetic issues (camo model
blends in nicely with the garden)
- Ideal for classroom study or educational display
- DIY stand - includes corners and ties but you *MUST* obtain the PVC pipes locally (too big to ship)
