WORM WIGWAM
The
Worm Wigwam™ is designed to process large amounts of food and other organic
waste. The byproduct, finished castings, is a readily usable or salable
product reducing the need for chemical fertilizer. Just turn the harvest handle,
remove the door and collect the earthworm castings from the bottom tray.
There is good evidence that a large proportion of the essential plant
nutrients that are in a relatively soluble form are washed out in other systems.
The Worm Wigwam™ helps retain these nutrients.
The
Worm Wigwam™ requires
no compost turning and requires no separating of worms and partially decomposed
waste from the finished castings. It is 3 feet tall and 3 feet wide and weighs
86 pounds. Users have reported up to hundreds of pounds of waste composted per
year. The Worm Wigwam™
is heated and insulated for
optimum year-round use. It features a raised floor design providing maximum
aeration for faster worm feeding and shorter composting times. The system never
needs to be emptied or restarted, using 100% of the composting area.
Dick Sloane, of the National Institute of Health has this to say about
the Worm Wigwam ™. “This is the best vermicomposting system that I have
seen to date. Anyone interested in
vermicomposting to accomplish organic waste diversion should definitely consider
the Worm Wigwam ™. Two years
later and ours are still diverting tons of organic waste from the landfill.”

WORM BIN HEATING CABLES
 Thermostatically set for optimum temperature control. Cables maintain a
consistent, ideal temperature of 72 degrees. These are ideal for raising worms in cold
climates. If you build an OSCR worm bin from the blueprints, you'll need to use this
system for accurate and efficient heating. Looped 4”-6” below the
bedding surface, this cable works like an “underground sun’’ to heat the
worm bed with gentle bottom heat. A built-in thermostat automatically
activates the cable when the temperature drops below 74°F. The
cable plugs directly into 110V outlets and uses 42 watts/12 ft. It is designed
to prevent shock danger in wet conditions. Protect the cable by
laying a wire mesh screen over it before covering it with bedding. Works best for approximately 12
square foot area.
