WORMcube: the compact wormery with an anti-drowning filter

New arrival at Moutta Farm: the WORMcube wormery. It is the latest innovation from Plastia, a European manufacturer, and we are offering it exclusively. The Willys will be delighted, and so will your bins!

Small on the outside, big on the inside

The WORMcube was designed for kitchens where every centimetre counts. It is compact enough to sit on a worktop, at a comfortable height. Its trays nest only slightly into one another, which leaves plenty of usable space: 12.5 litres per tray.

It comes with 2 or 3 working trays, enough to take the waste of a household of 2 to 3 people. And because it is light and easy to handle, children and adults alike can look after it.

The anti-drowning filter: the real innovation

In a tray wormery, a liquid drains down to the very bottom: worm tea, an excellent fertiliser for your plants. On many models, a few adventurous worms make their way down to the liquid collection tray and risk drowning there.

The WORMcube is the first wormery fitted with a sealed, interchangeable filter between the trays and the liquid collection tray. The worms stay up top, in the dry. And since there are no longer any worms in the tray, it doesn't need a tap: simply tilt it slightly and pour out the worm tea using its spout.

100% recycled plastic

The WORMcube is made in Europe, entirely from recycled coloured plastic. Slight variations in shade or small specks may appear from one unit to the next. This isn't a defect: it is the mark of this responsible manufacturing, and every piece is unique.

How does it work?

Like all tray wormeries, it works in layers. You start with a single tray. When it is full, you add a new tray on top and put the fresh waste in it. The worms move up on their own towards the food and leave behind them vermicompost that is ready to harvest.

Our page how a tray wormery works explains everything in detail. For your first steps, also follow our guide to setting up your wormery step by step.

An ideal companion for learning

With its colours and small size, the WORMcube is also a great teaching tool. At home or at school, it lets you observe the worms and understand how our waste turns back into soil. To go further, discover our ideas for introducing children to vermicomposting.
