Its clever design works using compost worms that transform your kitchen scraps into vermicompost: a powerful, all-natural fertiliser.
Just put your peelings in the compost section and fill the plant pot section with soil. The two compartments are separated by a perforated membrane, so worms can move freely and provide essential nutrients to your plant.
Handmade in southern France in Castelnaudary, the plant pot wormery is an innovative, responsible solution to reduce your waste and help the planet.
Each piece is unique and crafted from raw natural material, so some colour and texture variations may appear. Its original, organic design will fit perfectly in your home and take care of a wide range of plants, big or small—vegetables, herbs, leafy or flowering. Can be placed outside but must be sheltered from sun, rain and frost.

Principle and use:
Convenient and green, the plant pot wormery lets you recycle waste and gives water and nutrients to your plants as peelings break down.
You'll love its style and low maintenance.
Add waste from the top, and collect vermicompost from the bottom—like a continuous flow. Simply open the lower stopper and gently retrieve the compost with, for instance, a rake. The very first harvest comes after 6 months.
Care:
The raw side needs a spray of water now and then, then simply wipe with a cloth. For the glazed side, dry cleaning or a quick wipe with a sponge does the trick.
