Invicta's Worm Composter (Vermicomposter) can be used by teachers and
pupils to discover and demonstrate how worms can recycle everyday food scraps
and other organic matter, including raw fruit and vegetable, grass cuttings,
sawdust, moist paper strips and leaves, into a valuable and nutrient-rich soil
additive called Vermicompost, or Worm Compost. Worms eat the food scraps, which
become compost when it exits the worm's body.
The red transparent container has been specially designed to both absorb the
light and allow pupils to view the worms at work breaking down the organic
materials into compost and observing changes in colour, texture, pH values and
temperature. It has a capacity / volume of 3.5 litres and is an ideal size for
small groups and classroom use. Pupils at higher levels can conduct experiments
and examine the process of how the macro organisms are breaking down the
material and analyse the worm reproduction that occurs. They can examine the
ratios of carbon, nitrogen, air, light, moisture and the harvesting process and
their effects on the nutrient rich compost that is produced.
The Worm Composter includes 1x specially designed red transparent container
and 1x clear transparent inner liner complete with drainage / aeration holes, 1x
red transparent lid with adjustable ventilation cap and a comprehensive product
guide.
