A Flow Through Vermicomposting System
Now you can make your own worm castings and reduce organic waste the easy way!

    The Worm Wigwam is designed to process large amounts of food and organic waste. The finished product is a rich compost that is a readily usable. Just turn the harvest handle, remove the door and collect the "worm free" finished compost from the bottom tray.

    Traditional methods of Vermicomposting have been based on beds or windrows on the ground containing waste up to 18" deep, but such methods have numerous drawbacks. They require large areas of  land and are relatively labor intensive. More importantly, such systems process waste slowly, taking anywhere from 6 to 18 months for processing to be complete.   The Worm Wigwam requires no compost turning and requires no separating of worms and partially decomposed waste from the finished compost.

    The Worm Wigwam is 3 feet tall and 3 feet wide and weighs 86 pounds.

 Users of this system have reported up to 8 tons of waste composted per year. But a lot depends on the material that the worms are being fed. The Worm Wigwam operates best when the worm population is at its optimum level (35-40 pounds or 35,000 to 40,000 worms). Much has been said about how much a worm will consume on a daily basis. Some say that an earthworm will eat its own weight on a daily basis, so conservatively we should cut that number in half.  The Worm Wigwam is heated and insulated for optimum year round use. It features a raised floor design providing maximum aeration for faster worm feeding and shorter composting times.

The system never needs to be emptied or restarted, using 100% of the composting area.

The model 5-6 is designed to handle 75 to 150 pounds of organic waste on a daily basis.
  This system is ideal for hospitals, college cafeterias, prisons, grocery stores and centralized processing stations.
