Kokua Worms – Hawaii’s Comprehensive Supplier of Vermicomposting Worms

Hawaii’s comprehensive supplier of vermicomposting worms, byproducts, and accessories. Providing education, support, and workshops on the island of O’ahu. Established in 2012 by kama’aina wahine, and now a mobile operation conducting business by email appointment.

We strive to provide exemplary customer education, sales, and service in a reliable retail setting, and to sustain the growth and popularity of vermicomposting as a viable recycling and gardening strategy throughout Hawaii. Our endeavor encompasses an introduction to and support in both residential vermiculture and the use of Black Soldier Fly in waste management.

Green Revolution starts right in your own home!

When you choose to vermicompost, you reduce the amount of material that enters the waste stream, recycling household organic garbage to rich, non-polluting vermicast that will enrich the soil. On-site waste management reduces your carbon footprint and saves taxpayer dollars by reducing the amount of waste to be processed by commercial facilities. Vermicomposting is an efficient and cost-effective approach to waste reduction on a small scale. EVERYONE with a couple of square feet of shaded space, own or rent, indoors or out, young or old, can own a worm habitat.

Kokua Worms recommends four different types of home worm composting systems to fit a variety of needs for capacity (amount of food waste created), harvesting method, available space, aesthetics, and cost. These habitat systems have been selected as the highest in quality, durability, and ease of use out of all those available on the market. Home-sized bins are also excellent for classroom and office use.

Harvesting

To maintain the health and efficiency of your worm bin, periodic harvesting and re-bedding is required. When you harvest, you separate out the valuable excreta of the worms – vermicast – which has built up as your garbage has been ingested and processed. Not only should your bin yield a big pile of dark, odorless, nutrient-rich “Gardeners’ Gold,” but your worm colony should have expanded as well.For the best quality vermicast, follow the harvesting recommendation for your system, per Kokua Worms. Following your harvest, you will re-bed your worms in fresh bedding material. Bedding is critically important to maintain structure, air pockets, habitats for other organisms, and a safe harbor for baby worms. When bedding disappears, the health of the ecosystem starts to decline.

Although harvesting is a real pleasure for most, not everyone enjoys it and many find that they do not have the time to harvest regularly. Kokua Worms offers harvesting services on-site at your home or workplace. Standard service includes a worm weigh-in, re-bedding, recommendations and clean-up.
