Finished compost is removed from the bottom tray and once emptied this is placed back on top of the other trays to repeat the process.This womery by WormCity has a large tray capacity of 25 litres, which is impressive considering its size on the ground (75cm x 43cm x 43cm).

Worms and a coir mat are included with the starter model and there is the option to add a planting tray to the top or use it as a seat, with a load of up to 100kg. as the worms reduce the food keep adding a bit more at a time, ignore any advice that tells you worms will consume twice their own weight or 2kg or 10kg per day or whatever.The Tumbleweed Can-O-Worms is a medium-capacity worm farm suitable for beginners to experienced users.

Add the contents of your vacuum cleaner, no, worms will not eat the hair and very little of the other junk that’s in there, they may consume the dead skin but why bother when there is a better choice elsewher all you end up with is hair mixed in with your finished compost.
