Made with ❤️ in Ottawa (Odawa), the traditional, unceded territory of the Algonquin and Anishinabek
The Worm Studio is a beautiful cedar worm farm that will convert your kitchen scraps into vermicompost - nature's best fertilizer - in less than a month without smells or bugs! Have you heard this one before - wormies make great pets! No seriously, they're adorbs, smell free, quiet, and don't require much maintenance. We're here to support you as a new worm parent.
Ottawa customers - add composting worms to your order from us using this link
Non-Ottawa customers - we don't ship the worms as it stresses them. We recommend finding them locally on Kijiji or a local worm farmer using this link.
📖 It can seem overwhelming, but we will teach you how to build a successful composting habit
🌎 Sustainable materials - local cedar ethically harvested
👃🏽 No bad smells
💪🏽 Easily harvest castings without separating out the worms
🤓 Life time access to our online community for support and motivation
🧘♂️ Nature therapy - take care of a tiny living ecosystem
👨👩👦 Fun family activity and a way to teach kids about the environment
How it works
- You start feeding the bottom tray and work your way up through the layer
- The wormies finish eating the bottom tray and travel upwards in search for fresh food, leaving behind their castings
- When your top layer is full, remove the bottom layer, empty out the castings, and add it to the top of your stack
- Rotate your bins every 3-4 months to get fresh castings
The castings will be free of worms as they all have moved to the upper layers to eat.
Should I add extra trays?
1-2 people: The Worm Studio comes with 3 trays as standard composting option for the average couple that generates 2-3 kg of scraps each week.
3 people: The benefit of adding one extra tray is that you get to feed tray 3 and 4 at the same time, effectively doubling your composting ability to 3-4 kg each week.
You can buy another layer in the future.
The Worm Studio is sold disassembled and requires a screwdriver to assemble. It's easier than IKEA, we promise.
Your order includes instructions and access to our online community where you can ask questions, interact with other compost heroes, and stay motivated in your composting journey.
We really enjoyed our experience at the Box of Life workshop. Akil gave us all the information we needed about the worms and how to care for them. And the process to build the worm studio was straightforward with Akil’s excellent instructions. So much fun, thanks!
Great design and great service ! Can't wait to harvest the soil
I've had my worm studio for a few months and having a blast with it... it's low maintenance, you just feed it weekly and check it for health. There's barely any learning curve, and all the information you could possibly need is in an awesomely designed booklet that comes with it. I fell in love with learning about worms and how they contribute to ecosystems and now I love checking on and watching them regularly :D I've never had a single worm try to get out or had any issues, but I did learn to keep an eye on the moisture levels to keep it from getting too dry or too wet (explained in the booklet).
Great service!
I live in an apartment building that does not have a compost bins. It always bothered me throwing food waste down the garbage chute. The Box of Life was the perfect solution to this. I got my boxes about 6 months ago and my worms seems to be doing well. I was skeptical at first that there would be no foul odour from decaying food scraps and I can confirm that you will only have a faint earthy aroma in its immediate vicinity. Again, this was a concern of mind living in a 1bdrm apartment, but I have zero complaints. I keep my box in my closet with my jackets and shoes and I have had zero issues. I'm looking forward to harvesting some castings in the spring and add them to my balcony garden.
