Worms work best in sheltered conditions so if possible the best places to site the kit are garden shed, garage or greenhouse, or in a sheltered location near the kitchen door - if you wish to leave your Urbalive outside please cover with a Tarpaulin or similar.
Vermicompostingin the Urbalive Worm Farm is easy and odour-free. The kit comes with trays where the worms transform food scraps into vermicompost so that you can harvest the worm casts tray by tray, a sump where the liquid worm tea is collected and a secure lid.
The compost worms produce is really rich - often referred to as "Black Gold"worm tea, orworm castings. You can use as a rich base for potting compost or as a fertiliser when planting out and as a top dressing for your pots and planters. Worm tea is a liquid fertilizer containing a lot of rich nutrients and enzymes that help your plants grow and prevent pests. You will never have to buy liquid feed again.
Dimensions: Total Height (Including Legs): 60.5cm, Height of Bin: 38cm, Width: 50.5cm, Depth 38cm. Each Tray Holds up to 10L of Compost.
Your composters are Tiger Worms (Eisenia fetida) and Dendrobaena veneta. Both are UK-native, surface-feeding species. They thrive in decomposing organic matter, not mineral soil.
They’ll happily munch through: 🍏 Fruit & veg scraps ☕ Coffee grounds & plastic-free tea bags 🥬 Leaves & salad trimmings 🧻 Shredded paper & cardboard 🥖 Small amounts of bread, rice or pasta
Avoid: large amounts of citrus, onion, garlic, oily foods, meat, and dairy (unless pre-Bokashied).
💚 Wiggly Tip: Always top feedings with a handful of shredded cardboard and a sprinkle of lime mix to keep conditions balanced.
At Lower Blakemere Farm in Herefordshire, we’ve been composting with worms for over 30 years. Every Urbalive sold helps us fund our regenerative projects: improving soil biology, planting wildlife corridors, and running community composting trials.
Your purchase supports a genuine British farm working to close nutrient loops and prove that waste can become fertility.
Diverts 200 kg of food waste per year from landfill – reducing methane (84 × more potent than CO₂).
Builds humus that locks carbon into the soil.
Improves soil structure, moisture retention & microbial life.
Encourages wildlife from microbes to birds.
Great educational tool – ideal for schools to teach science, sustainability & biology.
As Charles Darwin said in 1881:
“It may be doubted whether there are many other animals which have played so important a part in the history of the world.”
Temperature: 15–25 °C best; slow below 10 °C.
Moisture: Damp, not wet; add Worm Treat or cardboard to balance.
Air: Fluff occasionally to prevent compaction.
Lime Mix: A handful every fortnight keeps pH neutral.
Feeding: Little & often – 2–3 times a week.
Harvest: Collect rich compost every 6–8 weeks.
Expansion: Add another tray when the top is almost full.
💚 Wiggly Tip: If you’re going away, add a thick layer of damp cardboard and some Worm Treat – they’ll be fine for weeks.
