WORM BIN COMPOSTING ACCESSORIES
WORM BIN COMPOSTING
ACCESSORY KIT
NOTE: A compost thermometer is very difficult to find which makes this kit valuable just for that tool. Watching the temperature in the bin where the worms are is absolutely essential if you want to be successful with your worm bin. Remember that you are composting and composting produces heat!
This kit contains one each of the following:
•1 Scraper
This scraper makes it easy to scrape the finished compost out of the
bins
•1 Hand rake
The hand rake works great when you are stirring your compost and
transferring worms to fresh bedding or for harvest.
•1 Thermometer
Color coded guide makes it easy to make sure your worm bin is
working at optimum temperature.

NATURAL COCONUT
COIR BRICK
Coir is a by-product of the coconut industry, coming from the husks of the fruit after a harvest. Compared to peat, (the extraction of which can easily harm fragile bog habitats and also depletes those habitats which take billions of years to develop) coir is a more ecologically responsible choice. It will hold up to 10 times its weight in water, and does not shed moisture like peat moss. Easy to store bricks have a compression ratio of 5:1 - for expansion of the fibers, simply soak bricks for 30 minutes in a pail of water.
Each of these compact bricks of all-natural coconut fiber (coir) expands to make about 2-1/2 dry gallons of carbon-rich, odor-free material.
Will not repel water like peat moss. More moderate pH when compared to peat .
Box of 6 Bricks.....$40.00
1 Brick of Coir.....$13.00

The Kis 5-Gallon System

grower. It was developed to provide an organic solution for caring for
our plants and soil, to help eliminate the reliance on harmful
pesticides, and minimize the use of chemical fertilizers. It works by
innoculating the plants and soil with the necessary microbes, that are
often lacking in an urban setting, that the plant needs to ward off
diseases and be healthier. KIS compost tea provides a safe, natural, and
totally organic environment for your plants and soil!
