Vents – worms require an oxygen rich environment and the vents allow for air movement while keeping pests out.
Portholes - the screw-out porthole allows easy access to castings.
Perforated internal base - a suspended base allows liquid to pass through the system, and helps keep the castings oxygenated.
Tap - the simple to use tap has a hose fitting end and is positioned to allow easy drainage of all liquid.
Over-flow system - in the event of not decanting liquid it will overflow out the back fo the system so that your worms are not drowned.

Using Worm Habitat
The Worm Habitat is quick to set-up (1/2 hr) and very easy to maintain. Firstly, find a shady spot for the Worm Habitat, prepare the bedding and introduce the worms. After a day you can start feeding. To avoid overfeeding, feed the worms only when there is approx 20% of the previous feed left. Use a food cover to keep the feed layer moist and dark for the worms. Tap off the liquid fertilizer by opening the tap and decanting into a liquid collection tray. When the worm farm fills up with castings, unscrew the port-hole and dig out the casting with a small spade or hand-trowel. Maintaining a healthy worm farm is straight forward, make sure that the worms have enough moisture and food and that they are not too hot or too cold. Every now and then throw in a handful of garden lime or dolomite to keep things sweet. Don’t forget Worms Downunder offers unlimited free phone/email back-up support for all their products to ensure their customers complete success.
