Compost Worms are the most efficient way, of dealing with household organic waste. Consider these facts:
•Compost Worms are capable of consuming their own weight in organic waste in a day!
•Compost Worms reproduce extremely quickly - they are capable of doubling their numbers every two to three months! (your initial 2000 worms can accumulate up to 30,000 in the first year!)
•Compost Worms happily work 365 days of the year. They, even work whilst you are sleeping!
•Compost Worms will turn all of your organic household waste into fresh smelling, nutrient-rich vermicast (worm droppings).
•Compost Worms even work your compost over for you, from bottom to top!
