Description

Reduce your household waste by 2/3.   Eat fruits & vegetables without pesticides and carbon footprint. You can have a beautiful garden with the help of redworms. It is so easy; just feed your kitchen garbage (banana/ pineapple peels, rotten/moldy fruits and vegetables, egg shells, coffee grounds, etc.) to composting worms and in just a few months, you can harvest the castings and use it as fertilizer.



Worm composting is the easiest -- young/ old, physically limited/ impaired, anyone can do it.   It also doesn't require a lot of space and can be done practically anywhere, even in very small apartments. Benefits of having a worm bin includes:

Stronger and healthier plants
Less garbage going to landfill
Conserves water
Revives dead soil
Educational hobby for the entire family
Preserves our natural resources

For those who doesn't know how to responsibly dispose of used/unrecyclable Pizza boxes, use it as worm bedding. (FACT: In United States, we throw away 3 billion every year, enough to circle the earth 26 times). 

For those who love to fish, this is one way of keeping fresh supply of fish baits.



Everything you need to get started: 



20 - gallon plastic bin with cover (TAN- to blend in your garden/ apartment)
One pound of Composting worms (EISENIA FOETIDA)

A pair of adult size gloves

A pair of kids gardening gloves

beddings 
Instructional flyer on a clear plastic cover to place on top of the bin

Let's reduce our impact on earth. Reduce, reuse, recycle, repurpose and let's go GREEN!
