The Worm Café is an ideal sized system for medium to larger sized families. Accepts approx 1 – 1.5 litres per day. The simple instruction manual is moulded into the lid and explains its easy operation.
Location: Ideally sheltered from summer sun and excessive rain is recommended.
Maintenance: Food needs to remain loose. Corrugated cardboard strips mixed with the food can prevent compaction. A rinsed piece of carpet / news paper / cardboard is useful for placing over the food waste (this helps hold moisture and keeps it dark for the worms to work beneath). Garden lime deters flies and reduces odours. Ensure contents remain moist.
The process 250gms or 500gms worms / and supplied bedding brick set up in level one. Once the compost bedding (supplied) and worms are settled in the first working tray, the organic waste input depends on the number of worms started with, eg 250gms worms will require approximately 250gms of mixed food scraps per day. 500gms worms will require approx 500gms of mixed food scraps per day. (Rotate the feeding sites). Composting worms in a suitable environment can double their population in approximately 12 to 16 weeks. With this multiplying population, waste inputs need to be increased accordingly.
When the 1st working tray is full, (to the level of the inner inserts) the second tray is used. No compost bedding is needed when starting a new tray. 
Once this second level is full, the 3rd tray is added and resume feeding until this has reached the full point. Lift and put the top 2 trays to one side. (these will contain most of the worms and undigested waste).
Remove the 1st working tray which will contain the useful worm castings. Tip the worm castings from the tray. (These castings make a great plant nutrient when mixed 1 to 3-5 parts soil mixture or water).
Replace the other working trays and the emptied tray is replaced on top.
This rotating process will encourage the worms to continue moving towards the higher levels leaving the castings behind. Liquid drained from the tap which can further diluted 1 to 5 parts water and used as a great plant nutrient.
