The Tumbleweed Pet Poo Converter is a worm farm which harnesses the power of nature to recycle pet droppings into worm castings and liquid manure (compost tea). The tea, often referred to by gardeners as 'liquid gold', is highly concentrated and can be mixed one part tea to four parts water. A worm farm that disposes of dog-droppings without the need for chemicals. Harness the power of nature and put it back into your garden!
Worms are used to convert the pet poo into worm castings as an incredibly nutrient-rich soil amendment. Because the worms eat the bacteria, there is no odor. The unit is easy to set up and operate and takes little space. No chemicals are used, and the Tumbleweed Pet Poo Converter comes with comprehensive instructions regarding set-up and use.
The Tumbleweed Pet Poo Converter will handle, on average, the droppings of two medium dogs. However, this will vary with age, diet, exercise and breed of dog. (Think Chihuahua vs. St Bernard). The greater the amount of droppings recycled through the Pet Poo Converter, the quicker the level of castings will build up. The castings can then be easily harvested, as per the instructions, and used around the flower garden or in potting mixes.
*All of these topics and more are explained in detail in a foldout instruction sheet included with each bin.

What can I put in the Pet Poop Composter?
A common question with vermicomposter bins is what kinds of pet waste they can handle. These are primarily designed for dog droppings, but they can also handle ferret and cat droppings if the waste is not mixed with gravel. Kitty litter is not compostable and should not be put in the bin because it can kill the worms. Other animal waste that can be composted includes droppings from rabbits, hedgehogs, prairie dogs, chinchillas, and a few other pets. Animal waste from pure herbivores doesn't require a pet waste composter though - this waste is pathogen free and can be placed in compost piles or compost bins. If you have a pet pig or pet bird, please do not compost their waste in the pet waste composter or in a compost bin. Pig waste and bird droppings contain many pathogens that can harm humans, and should be disposed of just like human waste.
You will need to order composting worms to go with it if you can't find them locally.
