Worm composter for raised beds and beds
General Information
Bonne idée! Composting in a small space
Our garden neighbors in France practice a composting method that is as simple as it is effective, and which helps bedding, raised beds and potted plants to thrive in the long term. To do this, a terracotta tube with numerous round holes is dug so deep into the ground that the opening, including the lid, only just peeks out, and is continuously filled with easily decomposable, shredded organic kitchen waste. The principle is known from the so-called keyhole beds of permaculture: Compost worms find their way through the holes to the inside of the tube - their larder - and convert the collected waste into worm compost. This worm compost is available to plants right on the spot as valuable fertilizer (the holes in the clay tube wall are not a one-way street, after all). It is recommended that you occasionally loosen the compost with a small shovel or fork. If you want to add worm compost to other raised beds or planters and therefore empty the clay tube from time to time, be sure to remove only compost, not compost worms. Our worm composter fits raised beds as well as large planters and can do its good works just as well in open garden beds. We source it from a pottery in the French Basque Country.
