Pint Of Life, self enclosed vermicomposting ecosystem

~A window into soil building via the composting process~ 

A Pint of Life is a tiny, living worm farm in a sealed but breathable glass jar. Inside, red wiggler earthworms eat the shredded paper and food scraps to turn it into soil - slowly, quietly, and right before your eyes. 

It’s a thoughtful holiday gift that invites curiosity, sparks conversation, and showcases a fascinating natural process. It is also deeply impactful as the knowledge of vermicomposting can transform a garden and our landfills! 

What’s inside

• Breathable glass mason jar with fabric-covered lid
• 10–15 red wiggler worms
• Cocoons (future worm babies!)
• A healthy ecosystem consisting of bedding and worm castings
• Beneficial microbes that make soil building possible
• An interactive maintenance guide
  

How to care for it

• Feed a small piece of fruit peel once a month (like 1/4 of a banana peel)
• Spray the ecosystem with water once a month
• Keep it indoors, out of direct sunlight

That’s it. Watch soil being built in real time.

Why we made this

We want everyone to know that organic waste is a soil-building ingredient, and can simply be eaten by earthworms instead of landfills or complicated recycling technologies.  Composting isn't complicated, or smelly when done correctly and the pint is an easy way to demonstrate that.

A Pint of Life is a gentle, approachable way to experience composting, and often the first step toward a full worm farm. It helps people overcome the mental barrier of having earthworms at home, and is a sustainable gift option for gardeners, parents, children, teachers, and the tree huggers in your life.
