Composting is not about you. It's about your planet.

Add earthworms to your outdoor toilet

It can only help...

Guests to your camp site or farm will talk badly about you if the toilet was unpleasant, even if everything else was wonderful. Don't let your outdoor toilet be your weakness.

Composting earthworms offer a back-to-basics, eco-friendly way to manage pit latrines. These incredible worms naturally break down human waste, reducing its volume and turning it into harmless compost.

Add them to your pit asap.

Upgrade your toilet

Your outdoor toilet can be much better

Lower contamination

Earthworms reduce pathogens by up to 99% by eating them.

Less odours

Aeration by earthworms reduces anaerobic conditions - preventing odour.

Reduced flies

Earthworms eat fly eggs, reducing spreading of flies

Less frequent emptying

Earthworms reduce pit waste by up to 97% - meaning less emptying is needed

Tiger Earthworms (Eisenia Fetida)

Tiger worms thrive in organic waste, quickly breaking it down into nutrient-rich compost. By adding worms to your pit latrine system, the decomposition process is accelerated, leading to reduced waste levels and cleaner latrines without chemicals or costly servicing.

They don't need much care - just drop them in your latrine and let them start eating. Just avoid dropping cleaning chemicals in there and they will be fine.

Most effective solution for pit latrines

In 2009, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation launched a global competition to find solutions to the problem of pit latrine filling.

The lead innovation to emerge from this project was adding Tiger Earthworms to a pit latrine, called a Tiger Worm Toilet.

They reduce the volume of faeces by converting it to carbon dioxide, water, ammonia, and vermicompost (worm faeces), which is dense and has less water.

Give your pit latrine a boost by adding these efficient earthworms.
