The Can-O-Worms is an odourless, user friendly system that allows anyone to participate in recycling. Whether you live in an apartment or have a backyard, you can provide organic fertiliser for indoor plants and your garden. For keen fishermen the unit will breed up to 20,000 bait worms which are easily removed from the top! Its patented concept was awarded an Australian Design Award.
A simple Instruction Manual explains the operation of the system with common questions and answers.
Harvesting of castings (worm poo) is easy because the worms eat their way up leaving their rich castings behind whichare readily removed, free of worms. Liquid fertiliser is also produced and dispensed through a tap.
The Can-O-Worms is fly and pest proof and stands on five sturdy legs. It is fun and educational exercise the whole family can participate in. It is made here in Australia by an Australian company from 100% recycled plastic.

There are about 350 species of earthworms in Australia, with many different habits. So it is important to make sure you have the right earthworms for your application. The CSIRO has described the broad categories of earthworms as:Composters - composting organic wastes, reared for fish bait, and production of soil conditioner.Earthworkers - live 'free' in the soil, improve soil conditions and promote plant growth.The type of worm which you need to get started in a worm factory are the 'composters'. Tigers, and Reds are the most common 'composters' and are not normally found in the soil. They survive only in an organic-rich environment where moisture is maintained throughout the year. These worms are not suited to soils and should be kept 'in captivity', where food and moisture are carefully controlled.'Composters' in your Worm Factory will produce worm manure called castings or vermicompost which can be used in your garden as a soil improver. For example, in pots as an additive to potting mixture, around plants as a top dress fertilizer, or as an additive to seed raising mixes. Worms are nature's own recyclers, converting your kitchen scraps and garden waste, not only for free, but in the process creating a nutrient-rich plant food.
Includes: Postage, 1000 Red & Tiger worms, Gloves, Worm Bed Conditioner, and full instructions.
