The Garden Market
Worm Farm
Vendor: Tumbleweed

The Tumbleweed Worm Farm consists of two sturdy, nesting boxes with a hinged lid. It is a neat, compact, portable unit.
The worms eat and breed in the top box and this is where their food is placed. This box has a perforated base so that any liquid waste can drain through into the bottom box. Solid waste or “worm poo” which is often called castings remains in the top box. This makes a good soil conditioner and can be harvested as required.
Extra boxes are NOT required. Worms produce more liquid waste than solid as their diet has a high percentage of water. Consequently the build up of solid castings is slow and it will take well over a year to fill the top box with castings.
The bottom box or “catcher box” collects all the valuable liquid waste which is a by product of the worms. This can be used as a fertilizer on your garden by diluting it with equal amounts of water. There is a drain hole so that this can be poured off and used as required.
