Launched a new product today! Zen Bag, a sealed indoor worm bag, is now available on the website!

Are you tired of pests coming in and out of your worm bin?

Do you have a partner, roommate, or family member who is concerned about keeping a compost worm container indoors?

Are you an educator who wants a sealed worm container for your classroom?

Want a cool conversation starter inside your home?

Try Zen Bag! An indoor worm container that brings peace of mind.

Zen Bag is a simple and essential worm container for any indoor worm farmer. Zen Bag is a sealed worm container (slide-lock top) with over 1000 tiny airholes to keep pests out but let air flow through the system. Zen Bag is cost-effective, extremely light, and ships Canada wide.
 
Each Zen Bag can hold up to 1/2 lbs of compost worms. Also great for hatching worm cocoons.

Zen Bag also has drainage holes in the bottom of the bag so excess moisture can drain. It is recommended to put Zen Bag in a bin or basin because of this. 

Freezing food scraps before feeding to worms is a great way to avoid pests entering Zen Bag on food scraps.

Zen Bag can be placed anywhere indoors but never in direct sunlight. Common places include kitchen, basement, or heated garage.

We got a load of composted mulch for our worm bedding this winter.

We operate year round, so even in the winter we are stocking up on supplies to keep our worms healthy and happy.

Our big project this week was building a giant worm bin.

This little guy helped of course.

This week Stephen has been sifting compost that we use for our worm bedding and soon to be released soil mixes.
