Composting Worm Bins

Selling these kits for a friend who moved to the mainland:

Authentic  Can-O-Worms kit. 
Everything included as you see in the photo:
Unit with spigot
Instruction book
Coir fiber block
Very easy to assemble and set up
This unit is made of recycled plastic in Australia.  There are cheaper versions made in China. 

 (red wriggler compost worms provided separately, upon pick up or  delivery)

5 available

I have had one since last December and love it!  Most of our food waste is fed to the worms who breakdown the food into castings.  My plants love the "tea". The bin is very sturdy and  well-built.  Have no experience with the made-in-china version.

Red wigglers work hard to consume kitchen scraps and can reduce the amount of time it takes to compost material -- from 240 days to 30 days.  With proper care, they will multiple quickly and leave behind castings, which are nutrient-dense additions to gardens.  You must 'water' them also and this creates a "tea" that is also used as fertilizer on plants.  Best of all, there is no odor from the bin, castings or "tea".
