The Worm Inn facilitates "Continuous flow" vermicomposting 
The Worm Inn is designed to be suspended by a shelving unit, a sturdy cross-bar, a laundry
hamper stand, or our latest design, an Optional custom 5 minute, no bend, no stoop stand kit.
After designating a place for the Worm Inn, such as a basement, a utility closet, a storage
area, a garage, or a classroom, the bag is ready to be filled.
The only things required for set-up are:
Food scraps
- It's best to let the food scraps sit for a few days so the microbial waste can develop, as this is what the worms actually feed on
- Amount - 1-2 lbs of food waste per week is a good amount to sustain a pound of worms
To fill the Worm Inn:
some bedding is placed in the bottom to absorb moisture
then a layer of food scraps
followed by the worms
then the rest of the food scraps
finally, a thick layer of more bedding
the whole system is sprayed down with water as the contents need to remain cool and damp
As the system settles, the worms move upwards, digesting the microbial waste of the food, which results in the castings, a rich fertilizer. These castings (or vermicast) are left below as the worms constantly move upward toward more food.
After several weeks, the vermicast
is ready to be used and is collected
from the bottom pouch, making the
harvesting process easy and efficient.
This "continuous flow" of regularly adding food scraps and bedding, and then harvesting the castings from the bottom makes indoor composting practical and FUN for anyone.
