NEW AWARD WINNING Worm Composting Bag...THE WORM INN

2010-02-21T11:22:00.000-08:00

'Worm Guys' new exciting product. From theworminn website.. 'Vermicomposting is a type of composting in which the breakdown of food scraps is facilitated by Red Wiggler worms. Vermicomposting can be conducted indoors and is a great set-up for people who live in condos, apartments or other places where traditional outdoor composting is not an option.Most often, vermicomposting takes place in a bin, such as a plastic recycling container. After several weeks the contents have to be separated into piles so that the resulting compost, or vermicast, can be collected for use on plants or in gardens.This can be a time-consuming and tedious process. The Worm Inn makes this process much more efficient...'Photo from theworminn website.
