Compost household waste, reduce organic landfill

Think Worms

Worms will eat anything that has ever lived?

You can use worms to compost up to 50% of your garbage. What's left is worm castings; a rich organic fertiliser for your garden, veggies and pot plants. Worms can even convert dog poo into rich nutrients to feed your trees and shrubs.

How many worms do you need?
A simple rule of thumb is to start with 1000 worms per person in your household. Less worms leads to overfeeding, excessive heat and long start up times.

Worm Farms are not
one size fits all

You should buy a worm farm that is big enough for the size of your family?

Be aware that any container that is less than 200 litres is too small for the average family. Worms depend on the amount of surface area and a depth of at least 45cm. Less space means less worms and smaller portions of compost that can be added to the bin.

Family Size	People	Compost Bin Size in Litres
Small Family	1-3	120 Can.O.Worms
Average Family	4-5	>200 Large Compost Bin
Large Family	>5	> 400 (2 or more Large Compost Bins)
Pet Poo	1-2 dogs	Extra 200 Large Compost Bin

Save Water

Worm castings can save water and make your plants more drought resistant?

Worm castings make a great additive to your garden. Castings increase the water absorption and water holding capacity of the soil. Nutrients are available for your plants immediately and micro-organisms work with the plants roots to keep them healthy and water absorbs into the soil instead of running off. When you add castings to the soil there will be some worms and worm eggs in the mix so the soil on your garden continues to improve and be aerated by the worms.

It starts in the kitchen... and ends in the garden!

You can have waste in your kitchen without the yuk and no smell?

Biobags and the Maxi Air Kitchen Tidy make it easy to keep food scraps in the kitchen without the smell and it even reduces moisture content and the yuk. Pick up the biobag and put it straight in your worm farm to compost down - what could be easier?

Dog Poo - the answer

You can collect dog poo in a biobag and straight into the garden?

Biobags for dog waste are great. Put the poo in the bag for a few days and then bury it in the garden under trees and shrubs. You can also put some it your worm farm. The bag is completely biodegraded after 10 - 45 days depending on the method used. No fuss and it all composts down - what could be easier?

Worms Aren’t Just Composting Worms

Red composting worms make great bait worms?

The worms you buy for composting are usually young worms (one month old - gives you more worms for your money). Mature red wriggler worms can be just the right size for bait for your next fishing trip. A great bait worm weighs about 0.7 grams. Check out our Big Reds and see for yourself.

They will stay alive for as long as 45 minutes in Freshwater and around 25 minutes in Saltwater. Read more and see our bait packs...
