A BEAUTIFUL WAY TO COMPOST
We design and build sexy, sustainable worm farms in Ottawa, so you can compost inside your home or apartment.
Vermicomposting is a process without smells or bugs and your compost is ready in less than a month, ready to be fed to your plant babies!
While it sounds a little intimidating to try out, we provide excellent customer support designed to help you build a habit.
Do you want to see it in action? Come check out the wormies at our shop at 15 Larch St in Little Italy, Ottawa or see a list of others places that have our worm farms for you to interact with.

IT'S LIKE MAGIC
Your food scraps will literally be transformed in front of your eyes! It takes the wormies about 30 days to make nutrient rich fertilizer called worm castings aka worm poo.
