The Worm Inn

The Worm Inn….In Waikiki

Thursday, July 22nd, 2010

How many people can say they flew to Hawaii for a business trip? I can! Well, my trip was definitely not all business, but I did make sure I spent a morning with my favorite Waikiki Vermiculture expert, Mindy Jaffee (In Picture above), Owner of Waikiki Worms.

If you are ever lucky enough to visit Mindy, you will be amazed at the first rate job she has done with her shop. Classy and Professional are two words that best describe Waikiki Worms.

Mindy sells a LOT of Worm Inn’s, and she is a HUGE proponent of these great composting units. Besides having several Worm Inn’s in front of her store as attention getters, Mindy has a working model inside her store so her customers can see just how simple it is to process all your produce waste.

Now that I’m home, it’s back to reality for me. I can’t say I’m not a bit jealous of Mindy living the dream in Oahu.

Why Is The Worm Inn The Best Waste Processing Unit?

Saturday, March 27th, 2010

Here are a couple of great questions from Mai:

I was looking at your Worm Inn’s. They are quite unique. Do people buy these instead of bins that are placed in the house, just so it doesn’t look ugly? How would that set-up prevent your kitchen from smelling like rotting food? I thought bacteria was supposed to break down the food scraps first anyway.

Hi Mai,

People buy these because they WORK BETTER than non porous bins that make it much easier to kill worms with excess food.

Regarding smells: Fruit and vegetable scraps stink if they become Anaerobic (Anaerobic = Without Oxygen) while decomposing. If you are able to provide plenty of air flow, most rotting vegetation smells sweet. Now if you add a bunch of brocolli, you are going to smell something as brocolli has a strong smell no matter what you do. But, with any worm bin, you want to cover your scraps with a layer of damp bedding as a filter, plus it’s a barrier to prevent major bug infestations.

You are correct, bacteria does break down the food scraps, and worms are bacteria feeders. Aerobic Bacteria requires oxygen. Bacteria works FASTEST when there is plenty of air flow. That is the reason people turn compost piles and put holes in worm bins. The Worm Inn works so well because it has 360 degree airflow. If you’ve watched the videos on my blog, notice that far more scraps are being put in for processing than ANY comparable commercial worm processing system.

Two things that make The Worm Inn the BEST commercial home composting system in the world.

1. Castings come out nice and flakey instead of muddy.

2. Processing capability is OFF the charts. I hesitate to say what the capability of the system is as we have never yet seen a bottom!

Are You SERIOUS About Composting?

Monday, March 8th, 2010

If you have not realized it yet, I am the Manufacturer of the Award Winning Composting System, The Worm Inn. I was not the designer of this innovative system, but I was smart enough to realize what a great system this is. So in December of 2009, I bought the company from it’s inventor, Robyn Crispe.

The Worm Inn will soon be sold through distributors around the world. I’m currently working with a UK Distributor, and have been in negotiations with distributors from other countries. The Worm Inn sets the standard for Home/School composting. Most composting systems can handle a pound or two of scraps for a pound or two of worms. The Worm Inn is different. Because of it’s unique breathable design, it can do the job of several conventional systems.

Because of The Worm Inn’s unique breathable design, your food waste is less apt to go anaerobic, so you don’t worry about creating a sewer just because you need the worms to process a little more than normal.

There is no comparison between a conventional plastic bin and The Worm Inn. If you are SERIOUS about waste reduction, The Worm Inn is what you want.

Watch these series of YouTube Videos produced by Bentley at http://WWW.RedWormComposting.Com In typical Bentley style, he’s just having fun filling the bin to the max. He’s shown feeding a small amount of worms 15 POUNDS OF SCRAPS, with the caveat, DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME. If you tried this in a plastic bin, you would create a sewer in less than a week…killing all of your worms, and giving your spouse the perfect excuse to grant you a divorce!

It gets better. The next week, BENTLEY ADDED 10 MORE POUNDS OF SCRAPS TO THE WORM INN. If this doesnt mean anything to you, you have never raised worms. I’ve never seen, nor heard of anyone doing anything like Bentley has done. The AMAZING thing about this is….his Worms are doing GREAT!

POUND FOR POUND, THE WORM INN IS ABSOLUTELY THE MOST EFFICIENT HOME/SCHOOL COMMERCIAL PROCESSING UNIT AVAILABLE. NO OTHER SYSTEM COMES CLOSE .

Have fun watching these three videos:
