WORMwood tray bottom grid

The metal grids of wooden wormeries are often vulnerable to rust and to the acidity of organic waste. Made from tough plastic, the WORMwood grid lasts much longer. Micro-perforated, it ensures good air circulation and drainage of liquids, and allows the worms to move from one tray to the next.

One grid per tray: the WORMwood comes with 2 wooden trays and 2 micro-perforated base grids. You can therefore replace just one grid or both. Placed at the bottom of the tray, the WORMwood grid provides aeration and drainage, and lets the worms move from one tray to the next. Made from tough plastic derived from recycled materials, it is built to last and comes with a 2-year guarantee.

First attach the geotextile fabric membrane to the inside of the tray with the drawing pins, then place the WORMwood grid at the bottom of the tray. When starting out, lay a coir mat and a piece of cardboard cut to shape on the grid of the first tray, so that the worms do not go down into the liquid collection tray. Please note: the black colour is not guaranteed; the grid may be a different shade or marbled, depending on the recycled plastics used.
