Countless tons of food is thrown out by Americans alone every year. A wormery is a device that could revolutionize the way people recycle food and plant waste. Anyone who generated food waste and works in a garden can take advantage of these easy-to-use composting systems. Wormeries are a composting system that uses worms to break down organic material into compost. The compost made by wormeries is extremely nutritious for plants and can be used to grow healthy, lush fruits and vegetables in the garden. Material that can be placed within the wormery include food, cardboard, grass and leaves. The worms get to work right away to break it down.
A great system for beginners to try out is called the Wormswrangler Worm Farm Bin. This composter uses a series of trays to contain the worms and waste material. Waste is continuously placed into the top tray for the worms to eat. They eat the waste and convert it to compost. As the worms work their way to the top tray, only compost is left at the bottom. When ready, remove the bottom tray and extract your compost. Because they migrate to the top, no worms will be present in the bottom tray, meaning that users never have to come in contact with them.
This wormery is constructed from high strength molded resin which can last for many years. The resin is made from recycled materials. The roof is ventilated to release heat and take in oxygen for the worms. The slanted roof allows water to slide right off even when out in the open. This system is completely contained and is clean enough to be used indoors and out. The system stands on four sturdy legs and is impervious to tipping over. At the bottom is a tap which is used to extract a liquid compost called compost tea as it is generated.
