Educational displays

All types of compost bins are educational, but on this page we have gone another step and created windows to the compost systems so that you can see the underground world of vermicompost.

Cedar Redworm Vermicompost Display	This display has been tested for some time to ensure you see the whole decomposition process. This display is tall enough to feed several times, so you can see the worm work being done. It will hold 100 - 150 redworms. The black covers keep it dark so the redworms will work all of the compost inside the display. The top has two pins so it releases easy to feed. The bottom panel will unscrew to open, harvest and clean out. 14”tall, 11 ½”wide, 3” thick	$25 with redworms +$5	$35

Below are two of our educational creations to see how redworms help breakdown compost into castings

Miniature Redworm Farm

This is a self contained worm farm that includes the 30 to 40 redworms already working on digesting the first mass of organic debris in your redworm farm. As the debris shrinks down you will need to feed your redworms more food waste and bedding like shredded newspaper and the cycle will continue. Eventutally you will see egg capsules and baby redworms.

This worm farm is one inch thick with a plexiglas front and back (redworms like the darkness so there is a removable laminate cover to keep them in the dark). The easy lift cover gives you instant access to seeing how the worm world works.

As your population grows your redworms will eat half their body weight everyday and in return you will be creating a highly fertile mulch for your house plants and garden.

This is an easy way to learn about the smaller beings in life that help the environment by recycling our food waste.

Vermicompost (Redworm) Display Case

This display has plexiglas on both sides to get a good view of your working redworms and the process of decomposition. The display is tall to give you a chance to have several stages of compost to view.

On the initial set up the cover panels are used to help direct your compost material into the display.

Your compost will compress several times while you continue to feed. When you have no room to feed anymore, the bottom can be removed to harvest your castings. This is made from cedar so it resists becoming part of the compost project.

Between the two pieces of Plexiglas is 2" of area to give plenty of room for you redworms to feel at home.

This will sustain a healthy compost system for several months, so you will be able to see the life cycle of redworms. Witness redworms breed, deposit egg capsules, see the capsules develop hatch and the watch the offspring grow to mature adults.

Recycle your waste, grow redworms, and collect the castings all while you are learning about how decomposition takes place
