What Can Be Composted:

• Kitchen food scraps (fruit and vegetable peels, coffee grounds, tea bags)
• Garden waste (leaves, grass clippings, small plant debris)
• Livestock and poultry manure
• Crop residues

What Cannot Be Composted:

• Dairy products
• Fats and oils
• Plastic
• Glass
• Meat or bones (can attract pests and create odors)

Through the decomposition process by worms, you can obtain nutrient-rich organic fertilizer in approximately 4 to 5 weeks.

5. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and efficiency of your worm composter.

• Ventilation: Regularly check that the ventilation holes are clear to ensure proper airflow, which is crucial for the worms' health and to prevent anaerobic conditions.
• Moisture Control: Maintain a consistent moisture level, similar to a damp sponge. If too dry, add a little water; if too wet, add some dry bedding material like shredded newspaper or coco coir.
• Temperature Management: Keep the composter in a location where temperatures are moderate (ideally between 13-25°C or 55-77°F). Extreme heat or cold can harm the worms.
• Harvesting: Periodically harvest the finished vermicompost and worm tea. The tap allows for easy collection of worm tea (liquid fertilizer).
• Pest Prevention: Always keep the composter covered when not in use to prevent unwanted pests. Avoid adding materials that attract pests, such as meat or dairy.

6. Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:

• Odors: If your composter develops an unpleasant smell, it's often a sign of too much moisture or too many 'wet' food scraps. Add more dry bedding (shredded paper, coco coir) and ensure good ventilation. Avoid adding meat or dairy.
• Pests (e.g., fruit flies): Ensure food scraps are buried under bedding. Avoid overfeeding. If fruit flies are present, reduce moisture and cover the food more thoroughly.
• Worms Escaping: Worms typically try to escape if conditions are unfavorable (too hot, too cold, too wet, too dry, or lack of food). Check the moisture and temperature. If conditions are good, ensure they have enough food. Leaving the lid off with a light on for a short period can encourage them to move back down into the bedding.
• Slow Decomposition: This can be due to insufficient worms, incorrect food-to-bedding ratio, or unfavorable temperature. Ensure a healthy worm population and proper feeding.
