Product Summary
Manufacturer: TriformisKitchen and Housewares Reviews of Can-O-Worms
Customer Review: Loving it.
Summary: 5 Stars
This IS a great design, and I am loving having our own worm farm. We attempted to create our own via tupperware storage container with holes drilled on the bottom, but weren't successful. This is much easier and much more fun.
One reviewer complained of issues with rain as well as the spigot allowing escapees. Advice: keep the spigot closed and use the tea frequently for your plants so as to prevent overflowing from the container and/or escapees. Use the bottom compartment / layer for the tea ONLY, no compost or worms. All wayword worms can wiggle themselves back to the upper levels and out of the tea if needed, and won't escape if the spigot is closed (and if tea is used often, then if a worm flows out your spigot and into your garden it is beneficial, too). Keep the lid on the top layer and the spigot closed when not in use, and rain is not an issue. Also, I added double the worms from the beginning and have gotten excellent results. If keeping outside where odor becomes an issue, cover your freshest kitchen scraps with a light layer of dirt, and the smell will be covered as well.
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
