What is the difference between  Can O Worms

 and the 3 Door Family Compost Bin ?

( Both vermicomposting systems are unique in design)


 

The Can of Worms

The Can O Worms is smaller in size so can only compost a small amount of organic waste. I strongly recommend that this is only for 1 to 2 people, and maybe poo from up to 3 dogs.  This unit is ideal for a couple who just want to compost their kitchen waste, it does not have the surface area to compost any green waste or grass cuttings, it will just compost food scraps.

The Can O Worms, just like the 3 Door Family system can cope with dog and cat poo.  When you are adding this animal poo to your system, do not put the end product on your vegetable patch, use it under trees, on flower garden, lawn, etc.  The Can O Worms is unique with  its small collecting water tray and the small tap giving you the option to recycle the liquid and it has a water saving capacity. 

After you purchase you do receive a link to our website which gives you detailed instructions.  The Can O Worms, like any animal needs water, and The Can O Worms  with its collection of liquid called liquid worm casting which is an ideal liquid fertiliser.  Add this fertiliser to your plants in confined small areas such as on you verandah plants.  Ideal for units and flats. Just read our instructions which gives the water requirements and management. Simply lift the lid and throw in your scraps.


The 3 Door Family Composting System

With its larger volume this system gives you a larger capacity. This is by far our biggest seller, is suitable for the waste of larger families, 6 to 10 people and can compost dog waste from approximately 5 dogs at one time. The 3 Door Family unit has 3 sliding doors at the bottom.  The concept is that when the system is full to the top you can shovel out the compost at the bottom giving easy and consistent access to your compost.  To make liquid compost, just put a small shovel full of wormcastings from the bottom into a 10 litre bucket of water to give you a high quality liquid fertiliser. 

This unit also has the capacity to handle small volumes of green waste, and we strongly recommend the option to buy two get one free.  That is when you purchase two units at around the $270 per unit an investment of $540 you get an extra one fully stocked with 5,000 worms for free. 

 

This gives you a surface area that can handle all the green waste including  grass cutting, leave mulch, all dog waste, all grease traps which is vegetable oil, etc.  The output of organic fertiliser on a monthly basis is very exciting, with cost savings and will give you all fertiliser you need for many years retrieving your investment many times.  It also giving you the satisfaction of recycling all your organic waste converting it into a rich organic fertiliser.

One unit can still give you plenty of volume of organic fertiliser more than the Can O Worms, about four times the volume with a much larger surface area.  Both units are outstanding value for the 5,000 worms you receive on purchase.  The difference is the amount of volume the can be processed, both do an outstanding job.  Both systems sit on the ground with similar surface area dimensions, the 3 door system is 900 cm at bottom four corners, about 800cm high 

Some clients simply like the enclosed Can O Worm as it is a more hands on system for educating your children.  It takes 3 to 4 to do the same output as one 3 Door systems. Once again both are outstanding sellers for TheWormMan®.  Our choice is the 3 Door which gives more output and a higher quality of casting, but if there is a small volume of waste the Can of Worms works well.
