COMPOSTWORMS ARE QUICK AND CAPABLE WORKERS
Vermicomposting is a fast and efficient way of composting. Earthworms can eat up to half of their bodyweight of organic matter – per day! They digest kitchenscraps and produce the world’s best fertilizer. Worm humus contains a lot of important nutrients like phosphor or nitrogen, which your plants will love. With a single WormBag, you can convert up to 2kg of organic waste per day.
COMPOSTING WORKS EVERYWHERE!
The WormBag makes composting possible everywhere e.g.:
- in a (small) garden,

- inside your garage.
It impresses with a neutral design and compact format:

WHAT’S BELOW THE SURFACE?
Inside the WormBag, there are three essential layers:
- Fresh food, organic material and bedding
- Partially decomposed material (That’s where most of the magic is happening.)
- Fully processed wormcastings, ready to harvest
IDEAL LOCATION
The best location for the WormBag is a place protected from rain fall with temperatures between 15-25°C. Many people locate their WormBag outdoors during the warm months and move it to the garage, garden shed or cellar in winter.
WHAT GOES IN
Compost worms eat almost all fruit and vegetable residues, even bananas. What they disklike is meat, dairy products and citrus fruits. Some paper and cardboard is always necessary for feeding. Bioplastics that are certified as “home-compostable” can also be used.
YOU GUYS OK?
As soon as you have started with the WormBag, you quickly attach the earthworms to your heart and want them to be well. Don’t worry: You’ll find detailed information in the operating instructions supplied. In case of doubt, don’t hesitate to contact us.

Frequently asked questions
+ WHAT DO WORMS LIKE? WHAT DO THEY DISLIKE?
While nearly all organic waste can be vermicomposted given enough time and preparation, a home worm bin like the WormBag should probably only be fed nonmeat, non-dairy food waste.
Generally, it is a good idea to diversify the food waste you put into the WormBag: a good balance, in terms of volume, includes approximately 80% food waste and 20% bedding (such as shredded paper, cardboard, coco coir, plant leaves and other carbon-heavy materials). It will help aerate the food waste, keeping the pH neutral and making your worms healthier.
If you have any doubt, ask yourself these two questions: is this waste biodegradable? (Would it get decomposed in nature?). Is this waste of plant origin? If the answers are yes, then you can put it in the WormBag. Pay attention to the reactions of the worms after a few days.
+ CAN I USE THE WORMBAG OUTSIDE?
Technically, yes, but the worms won’t be able to tolerate extreme hot or cold temperatures and should be protected from direct exposure to sunlight and precipitation. It is recommended to keep it indoors.
+ HOW CAN I USE MY WORM CASTINGS?
This is up to you! Most people prefer to use worm castings as a soil amendment at a 10% substitution rate for a growing medium or apply it directly to the base of their plants as a top dressing. This will not burn the plants.
You can also brew worm tea by mixing water and a compost tea bag of worm castings at roughly a 1% concentration and apply as a soil drench or a foliar spray using a handheld low-pressure sprayer. This is an incredibly economical way to use worm castings.
+ HOW MUCH VERMICOMPOST CAN THE WORMBAG PRODUCE?
Your results are dependent upon too many variables to give you an accurate number. However you can use commonly-known rules of thumb to get a very rough estimate. Conservatively, worms can eat 25% – 50% of their own weight per day and at maximum density, you may have around 4 kg in an WormBag. So an WormBag stocked with 1 kg of worms will be able to process roughly ¼ to ½ kg of food waste per day under good conditions, roughly 10-20% of which will exit the worm in the form of worm castings.
+ WHAT SHOULD I DO WHEN I GO ON VACATION?
In most cases, your WormBag can be left alone for days or even weeks. Ensure that your worm bin is protected from extreme conditions and consider adding bedding and more food waste (if you are certain that the worms are processing it efficiently).
In case your absence will last more than 3 weeks, it would be wise to ask a friend to check on the Bag. And enjoy your vacation!
