1. Environmentally Friendly
Sending organic waste to incineration plants or landfills is a waste of valuable nutrients. With the In Ground Composter, you can reduce your household’s waste footprint and contribute to lower greenhouse gas emissions. Instead of buying potting soil or fertiliser, the compost generated from this system naturally nourishes your plants, cutting down on waste and expenses.
2. Nutrient-Rich Worm Fertiliser
Worm compost, or vermicompost, is one of the most nutrient-rich fertilisers available. Packed with active enzymes, growth hormones, and essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, worm castings boost soil structure and fertility. It’s perfect for use in garden beds, pots, and even for houseplants.
3. Year-Round Composting
Designed for all-year-round use, the Plastia Worm Composter performs effectively in various conditions, including outdoor beds and greenhouses. Simply chop up your kitchen fruit and veg scraps as much as you can and add it to your composter—and let the worms and microorganisms do the rest.
4. Easy to Install and Maintain
This in-ground composter is simple to install. Just dig a hole in your garden or raised bed, place the composter inside, and add your organic waste regularly. The buried design keeps the composting process below ground, preventing odours while maintaining an optimal environment for the worms.
Vermiculture is a process in which earthworms and microorganisms break down organic material into a dark, nutrient-rich substance called humus. As worms consume kitchen scraps and garden waste, their digestion produces castings that are rich in essential nutrients. These worm castings not only improve soil health but also increase water retention, reduce the need for chemical fertilisers, and promote healthier, more resilient plants.
- Odour-Free Composting: In-ground placement ensures any decomposition happens below the surface, eliminating unpleasant smells.
- Low Maintenance: Once set up, the worms naturally manage waste breakdown, requiring minimal effort to maintain.
- Space-Saving: This system is ideal for those with limited garden space, as the composter is buried underground, leaving the surface area clear for planting.
- Eco-Friendly: Reduce waste going to landfills while enriching your soil naturally.
