Composting your kitchen waste

Here is the perfect solution for composting kitchen waste… organic waste is converted into rich, dark compost, a valuable resource in itself. Worm-assisted composting is a wholly natural process and we supply only native worm species so there's no possibility of causing any environmental damage. Further, worm-assisted composting is fully self-sustaining, it reduces waste volumes by up to 80%, it neutralises odours and it tackles a wide variety of wastes. The list of benefits just keeps going.

Worms can help speed-up composting wherever there's organic waste to be found, from taking care of a few vegetable scraps in the kitchen to digesting the fallen leaves in a mighty jungle, there's a worm that has evolved to do the work. To keep things simple however we define wormeries as self-contained systems, usually about the size of a small dustbin, that are used mainly to compost kitchen waste.

This is our recommended start-up system. It includes the Can-O-Worms housing and a generous supply of composting worms plus a selection of extras to help make your composting go smoothly. It's all you need to start successful composting.

Worms are dispatched in special packaging to ensure they reach you in top condition, but they will need to be transferred into bedding in the kit within 2 to 3 days. So, if the kit is being sent as a gift or will not be set-up on arrival please order it with a voucher, this can then be redeemed when the kit is ready for its worms.
