These natural additives keep your worm composter thriving, processing waste efficiently, and producing top-notch compost. 4kg Lime Mix Balances pH: Keeps the bin’s environment just right for worms by neutralising acidity and so helps avoid fruit flies. Reduces Odours: Cuts down on stink by neutralizing acidic, smelly compounds. Manages Moisture: Absorbs extra wetness, preventing soggy, worm-unfriendly conditions. 4kg Worm Treat Boosts Nutrition: Packs a punch to help fuel worm health and activity. Spurs Growth: Nutrient-rich treats promote faster worm reproduction, ramping up composting speed. Enhances Efficiency: With better diet, worms work harder and faster, speeding up compost turnaround. Incorporating lime mix and worm treat into an Urbalive (or any make of) worm composter is a straightforward process that significantly boosts the system's efficiency and health. Begin by lightly sprinkling a couple of handfuls of lime mix over the top of the compost every few weeks to maintain a neutral pH level. This helps prevent the environment from becoming too acidic, which can harm your worms. In addition to the lime mix, periodically offer a handful of worm treat by spreading them evenly across the bin's surface or burying them slightly within the top layer of compost. These treats are packed with nutrients and serve as a high-energy food source, encouraging worm activity and reproduction. No need to overdo it—start with a small handful of worm treat per week for a standard-sized Urbalive composter and adjust based on the activity and population of your worms. Together, lime mix and worm treat keep your composting worms thriving, ensuring efficient waste breakdown and the production of high-quality compost for your plants. Use a pH meter to check the level of acidity in your wormery, good composting conditions are achieved when the contents are close to pH7. *Please note that we have pelletised the Lime Mix and the Worm Treat, to make them easier to handle. So, they now look the same as each other but they are in fact still different mixes.
