The is a new way to dispose of your pet's droppings. This composter allows you to turn pet droppings into lush, rich, healthy fetilizer for your garden. This composter consists of two studry nesting boxes with a lid, which form a neat, compact portable unit. The worms eat and breed in the top box. And the perforated base allows any liquid waste to drain through to the bottom. Constructed of UV-treated polypropylene this composter is unique for creating at home compost.How it works: The worm castings remain in the top box and can be harvested as desired. The bottom box collects the valuable liquid waste which can be diluted and used as a fertilizer on your ornamental plants. Commercial worm farmers rear their worms on manure so using dog droppings is no different. The worms must maintain the same diet and must be fed exclusively on pet poo (other scraps must be separated) because animal waste contains pathogens that can grow in food waste faster than the worms can handle. Worms feed on the pathogens in the soil and as they burrow their way through the compost, their stomach strains out the bacteria and parasites for them to eat. In their wake, worms leave behind an increased volume of beneficial bacteria - the same bacteria that digest pathogens and help free up nutrients in the soil.What can go into this composter: Vermicomposters are primarily design for dog droppings, but they can also handle ferret and cat droppings if the waste is not mixed with gravel. Other animal waste that can be composted includes droppings from rabbits, hedgehogs, prairie dogs, chinchillas, and a few other pets. Animal waste from pure herbivores doesn't require a pet waste composter though - this waste is pathogen free and can be placed in compost piles or compost bins. Do not compost bird or pig waste it contains many pathogens that can harm humans, and should be disposed of just like human waste.
