Mini mixing rake for worm composters

To work gently: the rounded tips of the mini rake's tines stir the surface without harming the worms or disturbing their activity. A light touch on the surface is all it takes. One customer even nicknamed it "the rake that's kind to my worms"! Lightweight, easy to handle, and easy to clean, it's great for beginners and experienced vermicomposters alike, and it keeps your hands clean.

Yes, the mini rake works with all worm composters, whether they're tray-based or single-bin, because it's designed for working the surface layer where you add your food scraps. Good to know: it's part of our 5-Accessory Pack, along with 2 hemp mats, 2.2 lb (1 kg) of WormFood, 2.2 lb (1 kg) of RegulaWorm, and a bottle of WORMboost, so you can get all the essentials in a single order.

All our tips: Which accessories do you need for your worm composter?

With the mini rake, a light stir of the surface once a week, when you add your food scraps, is usually enough. There's no need to dig deep and turn over the whole worm composter: doing so disturbs your worms and can damage their cocoons. If you notice an odor or the material is packed down, stirring the active tray a little more vigorously helps get air back in. To learn more, see our guide: Should you stir your worm bin?
