Description
The all new VermiBag Tote has almost twice as much volume as the old tote and offers a ton of new features. The tote is suspended in the tub and does not contact the bottom of the tub. Any excess moisture will collect in the bottom of the tub and can be drained away as needed. The tote also has adjustment straps that allow you to select the depth of the system. Shallow for breeding and fishing worm production and deep for casting production.
The bag is made from Military spec nylon and is super strong. The material is uncoated so it is very breathable and permeable so it will allow moisture to pass thru it.
The VermiBag Tote eliminates two of the most common sources of Failure with new Vermicomposting systems.
- Excessive wet conditions
- The VermiBag Tote is made with a very permeable material and any excess moisture will simply drain into the bottom of the tub. Since the bag is suspended off the bottom of the tub, it will never get excessively wet. Never say “Never” but it would be extremely unlikely for the system to go anaerobic. I would recommend turning the complete system from time to time to keep the bottom of the system from getting too compact. This also increase the airflow throughout the entire system and will benefit the worms.
- Lack of Oxygen and creation of Anaerobic conditions in the bag
- The VermiBag Tote is highly breathable and will breath over the entire surface area of the bag. Worms need oxygen to live and the tote provides plenty to let your worm thrive.
Optional Items for Drainage and Ventilation
You can just leave the drain hole open or I offer a simple 3/4″ plug that will work for both the drain hole and the Ventilation holes.
If you don’t have a 3/4″ spade bit, there is an option to order one at checkout.
Simple plug that just pushes in.
This plug is a very neat and simple method to use for your drain hole and also for the ventilation in the lower section of the system.
I recommend drilling 4 ventilation holes in the system, about 4″ up from the bottom and then leaving 1 or 2 open for normal ventilation. Then as you approach harvest time, you can open the additional vents to allow more ventilation and help reduce the moisture in the system. You could install as many ventilation holes as you want…4 seems to work well for me. **One Vent hole must always be open**
**Note** The drain plug will prevent spillage from the system when you move it around, but…If you let the system fill up with a ton of liquid…it may start dripping out as it is probably not 100% leak proof, but you should never have that much liquid in the bottom of the system.
I also offer a simple Moisture Retention Cover that the worms love and it helps keep the worms at the surface of the system and locks in the moisture. This is a very simple cover made of 1000d Cordura that will fit your new tote perfectly…it’s not fancy but works extremely well.
