Add a starter pack which includes our composting worms and enjoy the benefits for your garden and the planet. This really simple design integrates seamlessly into your lifestyle and is easy to handle and look after in the tiniest of spaces.

The Power of Vermicompost

Worm compost, often called "black gold," is bursting with nutrients:

• Nitrogen (N): Essential for leafy plant growth.

• Phosphorus (P): Promotes strong roots and vibrant flowers.

• Potassium (K): Boosts fruit and flower production.

• Trace Elements: Magnesium, calcium, and iron ensure robust plant health.

Thanks to the worms' digestive process, these nutrients are broken down into plant-accessible forms, ensuring immediate uptake and maximum impact. Vermicompost also enhances soil structure, improving water retention and aeration.

Sustainable and Efficient

Why Compost at Home?

Every year, tonnes of kitchen waste are sent to landfill, producing harmful methane emissions. Composting at home with the Compact Worm Farm:

• Reduces Methane: Divert food waste from landfill and lower greenhouse gas emissions.

• Keeps Nutrients Local: Ensure your garden benefits directly from recycled waste.

• Avoids Transport Emissions: No need for energy-intensive collection schemes—your waste stays where it belongs.

What Can You Compost?

Once you get your worms up to speed they can process up to 1kg of food waste weekly, depending on the worm population.

Worms love:

• Fruit and vegetable scraps (e.g., banana peels, apple cores, carrot tops).

• Coffee grounds and tea bags (ensure tea bags are plastic-free).

• Crushed eggshells.

• Bread, pasta, or rice (in small amounts).

Avoid in large amounts:

• Citrus, onion, and garlic scraps (these can make the compost too acidic).

• Meat, fish, and dairy (can attract pests and cause odours).

How Much Compost and Liquid Feed Will You Produce?

• Compost: Expect to collect 5-10 litres of vermicompost every 6-8 weeks, depending on how much waste you add.

• Worm Tea: Harvest up to 1 litre of worm tea per week, which can be diluted (1:10 with water) and used as a powerful liquid fertiliser.

How It Works

1. Setup: Assemble the worm farm using the included Wiggly Guide, bedding block, and 250g of premium composting worms.

2. Feed: Add kitchen scraps regularly, allowing the worms to break them down efficiently.

3. Harvest Compost: When the top tray is full, rotate it to the bottom, collect the vermicompost, and continue the process.

4. Drain Worm Tea: Use the built-in tap to collect worm tea, ready to dilute and feed to your plants.

Eco-Friendly Design

• Made from Recycled Materials: Crafted from durable, eco-friendly plastics, with natural colour variations that add a unique touch.

• Compact Size: At just 38 cm x 38 cm x 38 cm, it’s ideal for tight spaces.

Versatile Placement

This worm farm isn’t just for indoor use. It thrives in:

• Utility Rooms or Kitchens: Convenient and odour-free.

• Greenhouses or Sheds: Protected from extreme temperatures.

If temperatures drop, simply move the farm indoors to keep your worms happy and productive.
