When we developed our
worm castings harvester
we began to use it for different projects. We soon discovered that with just a small adjustment, it quickly
harvested
our finished compost
too, producing a finer product. We could then bag this finer product to sell as
compost,
or as part of a worm
bedding mix.
Our compost harvester
is very easy to use. It sorts out the bigger particles of
compost,
creating a fine-sifted product ready for bagging. Our complete
harvester
weighs only 7 pounds, so it can readily be moved from location to location by hand.
Shovel the compost
into one end (there is a lip built into it to insure that nothing falls back out), then turn the drum slowly by hand.
The finished material falls through the screen and into the catcher, while the bigger chunks fall from the bottom end and into the waiting
bucket. The bigger chunks can then be thrown back into the
compost pile.
Our Compost Harvester screen has bigger
holes, which makes it excellent for sifting
compost into a great potting soil or planting medium.

Worm Harvester page.
Our compost harvester comes
with its own catcher specially sculpted to hold it at just the right
angle to harvest compost with
ease. If you choose to purchase the harvester without
the catcher, we will send you instructions on how to make a catcher
tub (some form of catcher is necessary, as it holds the drum in place.
Complete Harvester approx.
24" L x 20" H x 14" W (drum only approx. 24" L x 11" diam).
Our complete harvester
is ready to go with its own catcher tub. Start bagging
compost right away!
