Product Summary
Manufacturer: TriformisKitchen and Housewares Reviews of Can-O-Worms
Customer Review: Not perfect, but it is great for me!
Summary: 4 Stars
Well constructed, and easy to maintain (if you can think like a worm...). I do have to consider the SW Florida temperatures, so placement in the shade is needed. Be SURE to protect from the broiling summer setting sun in FL! I have only had the C.O.W. for one summer but it looks like I have been successful for my first try. I'm beginning the second layer tomorrow, while I have not yet harvested worm castings I have gathered gallons of worm tea, and sickly plants I used it on and had planned on digging up from the garden are now coming to life. I DO HAVE lots of other 'critters' living in there with the red worms but they are all composters like the worms and are harmless (if not a bit creepy looking). As long as I don't overfeed the worms or feed them the wrong stuff I think this will be a great source of compost and a much more efficient use of kitchen waste.
Description of Can-O-Worms
Turn your organic kitchen waste into useful, nutrient-rich compost! The Can-O-Worms vermicomposter has a multi-level design that's easy to assemble and easy to use. The Can-O-Worms can be used indoors or out, and it's easy to set up. Start with moist bedding (anything from shredded newspaper to peat moss, but not manure or soil), some non-fatty organic kitchen waste (too much fat and protein can smell and attract rodents), and some red wiggler worms (who digest the waste and bedding, leaving behind nutrient rich castings), and within a few months, you will have a large amount of compost that improves soil structure and aeration and promotes healthy root development. Generally, one pound of worms can take care of a half-pound of kitchen and garden waste. It is not recommended that you use fruit or citrus in your Can-O-Worms, as the peels tend to last longer and develop an odor. After your Can-O-Worms has been established, you might notice the presence of other bugs, such as millipedes and pill bugs. Don't worry - these bugs aid in the breakdown process! If you are allergic to molds and mildew, you should probably keep your Can-O-Worms outside. Molds occur naturally in compost bins and aid in composting. Red wigglers are temperature sensitive, so do not let your bin get below freezing or above 84 degrees Fahrenheit. Every Can-O-Worms is made of 100 percent recycled materials. Dimensions: 29in tall, 19 1/4 in diameter. Can hold up to 20,000 worms in 3 layers.Lawn & Landscaping Tools
