Your questions answered

How to care for the worms?

We will give you everything you need to look after your new wormy pets! Every worm farm comes with a Worm Parenting guide and dedicated support from our team.

Will food scraps smell?

If you are following the feeding schedule and instructions the food scraps will not smell! The Box Of Life has a beautiful earthy smell.

What about holidays?

The Box Of Life classroom edition is portable so can go home with an assigned babysitter for any school holidays.

Can students handle the worms?

After the worms have established themselves in their new habitat the students can definitely handle them. As long as they have a gentle hand to wiggle in and are returned to their home afterwards they will stay happy and active!

Time commitment for worm bin care?

The feeding of the worms takes less than 10 min per week. As much time as it takes to prepare them a healthy meal of chopped up food scraps and bedding material. This is a job any assigned worm babysitter can easily fit into their day. They won’t even miss recess!

Can The Box Of Life compost all classroom food scraps?

The classroom edition box is a learning tool as opposed to a full sized composter. It will only compost approximately 1 cup of food scraps per week. If your school is interested in implementing a larger scale Worm Bin to handle all their food scraps we are on board! Please reach out to audra@theboxoflife.com
