Thick sawdust and compost activator for a full year, with or without worms.

The annual sawdust and compost activator pack contains 2 bags of coarse sawdust of 400 g and 2 sachets of activator of 10 g for a year of vermicomposting, with or without worms. It suits indoor and in-ground wormeries as well as garden composters. The version with worms is intended for an empty composter, the one without worms for a colony that is already established.

A year of worm composting comes down to three consumables, which this accessories pack brings together: thick sawdust to balance each addition, activator to restart decomposition when the composter is full, and, in its complete version, a batch of worms to get started. It is designed for the indoor terracotta worm composter, the in-ground worm composter and the balcony garden composter.

🪵 The sawdust and the activator

The two types of sachet are not used at the same time. The coarse sawdust goes in with every addition: a handful over the fresh peelings provides the carbon they lack, absorbs their moisture and aerates the compost, which prevents odours and limits fungus gnats. The activator, on the other hand, is only used now and then, when the compost bin is full and you want to free up space more quickly. The batch of worms, finally, is needed only when starting a compost bin, hence the two versions of the pack.

Coarse sawdust

Made from untreated hardwood, it balances the moisture content of peelings.

The activator

It combines non-pathogenic, non-GMO micro-organisms with mineral carriers and organic salts.

The worm batch

In the version with worms, it delivers adults, juveniles, and eggs, along with the soil microfauna.

A first pot to bury with the full version

If you are a beginner, the terracotta in-ground worm composter forms a ready-to-start set with the version that includes worms. You bury it in a planter or in the vegetable garden, add the worms, and the sawdust in the pack covers the deposits for the whole first year. The 2-litre model suits a planter, and the 12-litre model takes up to 18 kg of food waste per year.

Keep the worms in damp fabric until installation

If you cannot introduce the worms on the day of delivery, keep the cloth containing them moist and store them somewhere dark, away from light and heat. Add them as soon as you start up your composter.

The activator comes into play when the composter is full. It speeds up decomposition by around 30% for a month, so the volume goes down and you can start adding waste again; when the worm colony already fills the whole composter, it shortens the cycle to about 2 months instead of 3. A 10 g sachet is calculated for 1 m³ of organic waste, far more than a household composter holds, and the instructions supplied with the sachet give the dose suited to the size of yours: you therefore use only a fraction of it each time.

The two versions of the pack differ only in the batch of worms, and it is the state of your composter that tells you whether you need it. A new, empty composter, or one placed above ground with no contact with garden soil, needs worms to get started, otherwise decomposition remains purely bacterial and takes about twelve months. If a colony is already established in your composter, the version without worms suits you, since the worms then multiply by themselves according to the food available.

🪱 The version with worms

The worms belong to the genus Eisenia and are of French origin. They travel in about 500 g of compost, which feeds them during transit, and the batch is dispatched about a week after the order. When it arrives, you place the contents of the cloth on the surface of the composter and let the worms burrow down by themselves. Allow about 6 months for a first batch of compost, while the colony multiplies, then 3 months once it occupies the whole space.

📅 A year's worth of deposits

Day to day, the pack comes down to one gesture: a handful of sawdust after each addition of peelings. The composter settles constantly, since it takes about 20 kg of peelings to make 1 kg of compost, and it does eventually fill up; that is the moment to dose the activator according to the instructions supplied with the sachet. The compost is ready when you can hardly find any worms in it. If you run out of sawdust before the end of the year, dead leaves make an excellent substitute, whereas corrugated cardboard, whose glue passes into the compost, is best avoided.

📦 The parcel of the year

The parcel contains two 400 g bags of coarse sawdust and two 10 g bags of activator, plus a batch of worms in the version with worms. The activator is made in France by a partner laboratory, and the sawdust comes from an Alsatian woodturning workshop. To equip a planter or a small space from scratch, the starter set combines a planter composter, an olla and a slug trap, and this pack then takes over for the year.
