The ideal solution for urban composting
Worms are nature's best composters, and Grandpa John's Worm Bins are the ideal way for those with limited space for composting to re-cycle kitchen waste into a nutrient rich compost that is ideal for plants.
Grandpa John's Worm Bins provide a complete vermicomposting solution for the urban dweller including:
- 54 litre vented worm bin (approximately 35 cm x 35 cm x 45 cm) with lid and leachate tray
- 1/4 kilogram or approximately 500 Red Wriggler worms (Eisena fetida)
- Bedding - blend of chopped straw and shredded newspaper
- Fork for incorporating organic waste
- The Book: Worms Eat My Garbage by Mary Appelhof
On a few Saturday mornings during the year, CityFarmer organizes vermicompost seminars. Residents of Vancouver are entitled to a one hour training that includes a Grandpa John's worm bin.
CityFarmer also provides excellent instructions on the use of worm bins for composting.
A complete Grandpa John's Worm Bin is available for $79.95. Worms can also be purchased on their own at $25 for .25 kg, approximately 500 worms. Discounts are available for larger quantities.
Worm Bins and worms are available for pick-up or shipping on Wednesday mornings at 5050, Gladwin Road, in Abbotsford, BC. Please contact us to give us at least one day's notice so that we can harvest the worms in time.
