Organic waste is a valuable resource and should not be carelessly thrown into the general waste. We therefore offer our guests the opportunity to throw their organic kitchen waste in a WormBAG in our waste room so that the worms in it can process the organic waste into valuable worm compost. This is not only the ideal fertilizer for plants, but also reduces CO2 emissions.

 

What can go into the WormBAG?

​

Only raw, unprocessed and organic kitchen waste should go into the WormBAG, such as

raw, chopped and moist fruit and vegetable scraps, leaves (not nut leaves), eggshells (powdered), plant residues. Newspaper and cardboard should make up 20% of the feed. Worms need the fibers they contain.

Compost worms love tea and coffee. (Max. 1/3 of the feed) Please crumble coffee grounds to avoid mold. Tea bags are allowed - provided they are free of microplastics.

​

What is not allowed in the WormBAG?

​

All processed foods have no place in the worm box. Toxic, antibacterial, dry, woody, bones, chemicals, dairy products, citrus fruits, meat, sausage, bread and grain products, glossy paper, cooked, marinated and salted food should not be put in the worm box. These cannot be processed by the worms and microorganisms, start to mold and destroy the microclimate in the WormBAG. Please only throw in raw, unprocessed and organic kitchen scraps as described above.
