Néma – Design wormery

You can put several types of waste in the vermicomposter: Fruit peelings, vegetable scraps, coffee grounds, tea (nitrogen-rich waste). Cardboard and paper (carbon-rich waste such as newsprint, egg cartons, toilet paper rolls), dry leaves. And eggshells.

After each addition of nitrogen-rich waste (vegetable or fruit scraps) you add the same amount of carbon waste (paper or cardboard)The addition of eggshells allows you to balance the PH in the composter and thus avoid attracting midges.We advise you to cut your waste finely, which helps the worms to digest it. Your waste will be transformed more quickly.

If you cut your waste into small pieces, the worms transform your biowaste quickly. You will see the amount of waste decrease day after day. When your earthworm is well launched, you can put in quantities of up to 700 grams of organic waste per week. This is suitable for a household of about 2 to 3 people.

The capacity of our Néma vermicomposter is 22 liters, which is suitable for a household of about two to three people. If you cook and eat a lot of fruit and vegetables (the green of the leek, the skin of the apple, etc.) it is even suitable for a larger household. Not sure if the size is right for you? Contact us by email at contact@natuco.fr, we will be happy to assist you.

Vermicomposting does not give off any bad odours if you follow the rule of mixing “green” waste such as fruit and vegetable peelings with dry material such as paper, cardboard or dry leaves. When the composter is closed and a few simple rules are followed, you will not have any smell around.

Our Néma composter is designed in such a way that no pests can easily get into the composter thanks to the screened vents. We will send a guide with the composter explaining all the steps from start to harvest to compost happily and without gnats.

If you want to place your vermicomposter indoors, you can grow aromatic plants such as rosemary, basil, mint, etc. or decorative green plants such as calathea, monstera or spathiphyllum. However, if you want to use it outdoors, you can use it to grow a decorative outdoor green plant, for example.

Worms convert the equivalent of their own weight per day into bio-waste, allowing you to compost in a small area and see the amount of waste reduced day by day.

The minimum amount for a household of one to three people would be 250g.

This allows the worms to regulate themselves and feed at their own pace. If you throw away a lot of bio-waste, the worms will reproduce to be able to transform your waste and maintain the ecosystem in balance. You can order your composter directly with the worms. They will be sent to you in a well-protected package as soon as you receive your composter.

Your compost worms will be fine while you are away. Just feed them a quantity of biowaste proportional to the length of your trip. The worms will take care of the biowaste already in the vermicomposter. You can leave them on their own for up to 2 months.

Vermicomposting uses specialised compost worms, so decomposition will be faster than with a conventional composter (2-3 months for the vermicomposting system compared to more than 6 months for a conventional composter).

Vermicomposting is the most suitable method for indoors as it does not produce any odours.
