Want to recycle and make use of your pets waste? Try the Tumbleweed Pet Poo Converter! No need for chemicals! The Pet Poo Converter is a worm bin which recycles pet droppings into worm castings and liquid manure (compost tea).
Did you know that animal waste is full of pathogens? Animal waste often contains bacteria such as salmonella, e-coli, giardia, and Campylobacter upsaliensis, as well as parasites such as Toxoplasma gondii, hookworms, tapeworms, and roundworms that can pollute the environment, and affect the health of people and their pets. Composting your pet waste is a great way to turn this bacteria into something beneficial for the Earth.
This converter has two sturdy nesting boxes with a lid that forms a neat, compact portable unit convenient to fit in any outdoor space. The worms eat the animal waste and breed in the top box, which allows any liquid to drain through to the bottom box. The worm castings remain in the top box and can be used if desired.
There is no difficulty in getting the worms to eat dog, cat and ferret droppings. These worms must be fed exclusively on dog, cat and ferret poo because other animal waste contains pathogens that can grow in food waste faster than the worms can handle. Just like dogs and cats, worms have a exclusive diet. Please do not put kitty litter in the converter because it can kill the worms.
The Pet Poo Converter is designed to minimize odors, but it works even better with high carbon materials to neutralize smells, promote aeration, and act as a buffer to fruit flies and other pests. If you have sawdust, shredded newspaper, corn cobs, or ground cardboard lying around your house these work very well as carbon materials.
