Poop happens, especially if you have a pet.
Now there is a better way of dealing with it ... the Pet Poop Composter, plus it
is a worm farm that harnesses the power of nature to recycle pet droppings into
worm castings and liquid gold.
The
Tumbleweed Pet Poop Composter is a two-level vermiculture system designed to
recycle pet poop into valuable worm casting and compost tea that can be used in
gardens or landscaping. Redworms (not included) will transform the waste at the
chemical level. The worms will multiply and can even be harvested for
fishing.
What is Vermicomposting? Vermicompost is the end-product of the breakdown of organic matter
by some species of earthworm. Vermicompost is different than other
types of composts because it is much richer in many nutrients.
Vermicompost is beneficial to the soil in several ways. It improves the
physical structure of the soil, improves the biological properties of
the soil, improves water holding capacity, and enhances germination and
plant growth. Red worms are the most common worm used in
vermicomposting. Vermicompost consists mainly of worm castings and
decayed organic matter.The
multi-tiered Tumbleweed Pet Poop Converter is comprised of two sturdy vented
boxes with a hinged lid, creating a compact portable system. Pet waste and
biodegradable bedding are placed in the top box, which has a perforated base to
allow valuable liquid waste to drain through to the bottom collector box. Poop
Converter Composter may be used indoors or outdoors in full shade during
temperate months. Complete instructions included.
Worms eat and
breed in the top box. Worm castings remain in the top box and can be harvested
as desired. The bottom or catcher box collects the liquid waste which can be
diluted and used as a fertilizer on your ornamental
plants.
Commercial
worm farmers rear their worms on manure. However, worms should not be feed a
mixed diet. They must be fed exclusively on pet droppings or recycled vegetable
scraps, not both. Biodegradable litter can be added to the mix; but
Kitty litter is not compostable and should not be put in the
bin, it can kill the worms.
Worms feed on
the pathogens as they burrow their
way through the compost, their stomach strains out the bacteria and parasites. In their wake, worms leave behind an increased
volume of beneficial bacteria. Red worms are fast breeders and can consume their own weight in food in twenty-four hours. Once sufficient poop has been collected to begin the process, one thousand worms is a typical amount to start the process. Each worm will produce an egg capsule approximately every two weeks, each capsule contains between five and fifteen worms. Eggs hatch in three weeks time and worms mature within three months. Worms will breed to the environment, so if you reduce the amount of food, the worm population will decrease accordingly.
