Product Description

Grades 6-12.
The only clear, ODORLESS indoor composter that is lockable and portable! See fast results in days to weeks with this state-of-the art vermicomposter. Watch the worms eat your garbage (approximately 100 pounds/year) and transform it into many valuable natural gardening products (approximately 60 pounds of worm castings/year and 40 gallons of liquid fertilizer - worth over $700.) This product can be used all year to talk about experimental design, trash, watersheds, sustainability, earth science, and more. Bury different items in each corner and compare results. Perform experiments with the red wiggler worms included (see order form), worm castings (vermicast used as a soil supplement), and worm tea (liquid fertilizer). This easy-to-clean container with excellent drainage and air flow is a low-maintenance composter that requires no tumbling or turning. Handles in the base make it easy to carry.
