Worm-A-Way Vermicomposting Kit (Large)

Worm-a-way Vermicomposting Kit (Large)

Turn your kitchen scraps into "black gold"!

The Worm-a-way® is a simple yet effective system which turns food waste into potting soil (castings) with the help of redworms (included with this kit).

Setting up your Worm-a-way® is easy! Just shred some newspaper, add a bit of soil and water, and introduce the worms. After burying kitchen waste in this bedding, worms eat the food waste, bedding and bacteria, turning everything into nutrient rich humus ("black gold") for use in gardens or house plant soils. Odors are minimal because the vents and perforated pipes unique to the patented Worm-a-way® provide an aerated environment.

The Worm-a-way® is the ideal worm composting kit for home or classroom use.
