Viscoe Distribution Ine., from Maple Ridge, B.C., demonstrated a new concept in vermi- composting. The 'Can-O-Worms,' deigned in Australia, has layered working trays. This self-harvesting vermaibin sits on legs, has a holding compartrnent with a tap for excess liquid, and three levels of trays in which the worms can wiggle upwards, eventuaily Ieaving the lower trays filled with their rich castings. When aIl the Worms have nigrated upwards through holes into the next tray, the lower tray can be taken and spread on the garden. Disguised with an attractive loose-weave tablecloth, it makes an ideal Christmnas gift for the environmentally conscience apartment dweller an your list who cannot have a backyard composter. "Our ambitious aizn is ta, have a Can-O-Worms ini every classroom in Canada within the next six years,11 says Davis Kyle of Viscor. The vermibins come complete with a bedding of coconut fibre, instructions, and two pounds of worms. Realizing that -school budgets are tight, Kyle explained that a fundraising kit with a video and supplies describes how students can eventualîy market the castings, thus using the Can-0-Worms ta pay for itself within approximateîy six months. Future castings can be spread on the school's lawn and planta or again sold ta support other school projects. Teachers wishing more information, caIl toll-free 1-800- 609-1223. Providing their school with vermibins is often the first task ofany school's environmental club. The red wiggler worm, smaîler than the earthwormn and able ta survive in the crowded condition of the vermicomposter, is used in the vermibin. The Green Cap office at 14 King St. W. in Oshawa is one place that supplies the red wiggler Wormis.
