Composting in the city is starting to catch on but apartment dwellers usually toss their food scraps in the communal composting bins. What if you could do your own composting for your little garden on your balcony or patio? The Worm Farm by Urbalive is an awesome little indoor kit for composting your kitchen bio waste with red worms (Lumbricus rubellus) and red wigglers (Eisenia fetida).
Composting in the Urbalive Worm Farm is done in such a way that it’s easy to maintain and creates no odors as long as you follow a few basic “rules”. The Worm Farm can be used in homes, classrooms, and offices. The device is designed by renowned Czech designer, Jan Pelcl and manufactured by Plastia which has established itself as a leading producer of gardening equipment in Europe.
The Worm Farm kit comes with trays where the worms transform your food scraps into something called vermicompost. Vermicompost contains enzymes and natural growth hormones. The kit also includes a bin where the liquid “worm tea” is collected as well as a tight fitting lid. This worm tea liquid is then added to soil in planters and flower pots. Worm tea is a liquid fertilizer which contains rich nutrients and enzymes allowing your plants to grow at a faster rate. For more details, head over to the Urbalive website.
