Urbalive Worm Farm - Light Green

Description

The Urbalive Worm Farm - Light Green is a stylish container that is used to compost organic kitchen waste using Californian Earthworms which are easily accessible. Alternatively, you do not necessarily have to use earthworms, as they simply speed up the natural breakdown of compost. This unique and trendy product can be used at home, in schools or at work to make clever use of your food waste to continue the ecosystem.

The modern design is made up of composting layers where earthworms help create Vermicompost leading to a container where the worm tea collects. Vermicompost contains efficient enzymes and natural growth hormones that are great for soil fertility and feeding your garden. Worm tea is rich in natural nutrients and enzymes that help plants grow strong and healthy.

Composting in the Urbalive Worm Farm is easy and odourless. The kit comes with trays where the worms transform food scraps into Vermicompost, a bin where the liquid worm tea is collected and a tight-fitting lid. Worm tea is a liquid fertiliser containing a lot of rich nutrients and enzymes that help your plants grow and prevent them from pests.

You can compost with worms all year-round. You can place your Worm Farm either indoors or outdoors, however it is important to always ensure that the earthworms have an optimal temperature of approximately 20 C/ 68 F. It is also key that there is plenty of moisture in the substrate. During Winter, you should keep your Worm Farm insulated to withstand a sudden drop in temperature or to avoid risk of frost.

In the Summer, please avoid leaving the Worm Farm in direct sunlight, this is to prevent water evaporation and overheating. The temperature in your Worm Farm should not drop below 5 C or exceed 25 C. Your Worm Farm is particularly suitable for peelings and leftovers of fruit and vegetables, such as potato peels, apple cores, green tops of vegetables etc.

Tea-bags are also great as the worms will often reproduce in them, resulting in more Vermicompost! Coffee grounds and paper coffee filters are also suitable as well as cooked vegetables, crushed eggshells, dampened cardboard and dead plants. Urbalive strongly advise avoiding spicy foods, citrus fruits (oranges and limes), milk-based products, meat products, bones, oils, lard and other fats.
