Yes, the Smart Garden 3-Tray Wormery is supplied without composting worms. You will need to purchase suitable species like Red Wigglers or Tiger Worms to start the composting process.
Start with small amounts and increase gradually as the worm population grows. Feed every few days, burying the food scraps under the bedding material. Observe the worms' consumption to adjust feeding frequency.
You can compost most fruit and vegetable scraps, coffee grounds, tea bags, crushed eggshells, and small amounts of paper and cardboard. Avoid meat, dairy, oily foods, citrus in large quantities, and diseased plants.
Finished compost will be dark, crumbly, and smell earthy. It will typically be found in the lowest tray, while the upper trays contain newer material.
The moisture mat helps to retain moisture in the wormery, creating a stable environment for the worms, and also assists in reducing odors by limiting airflow to the surface.
While designed for outdoor use, it can be used indoors in a well-ventilated area, such as a garage or basement, provided temperature is stable and odors are managed. However, outdoor placement is generally recommended for optimal performance and odor control.
The dimensions are approximately 70 cm in height and 50 cm in width. The depth specification (0.375 MM) appears to be an error; refer to height and width for overall size.
Add more 'brown' carbon-rich material (e.g., shredded cardboard, dry leaves) and ensure the material is not too wet. Check for adequate aeration.
This usually indicates an issue with the environment inside the wormery. Check moisture levels (too wet or too dry), pH (too acidic or alkaline), or if there's too much food recently added. Ensure the lid is secure.
Ensure the temperature is within the ideal range (15-25°C / 59-77°F). Check if the worm population is sufficient and if the food supply is adequate but not excessive. The material may need more aeration.
Bury food scraps completely under the bedding material. Avoid adding excessive amounts of fruit waste. A layer of moist bedding or newspaper on top can help deter them.
