Worm Compost Bins

What is worm composting?

Worm composting is an incredibly efficient way to convert kitchen scraps such as newspaper, junk mail, vegetables, fruits, egg shells, coffee grounds, paper and cardboard into nutrient-rich compost for your garden. Most ‘Master Gardeners’ consider worm castings to be the very best compost available. Your plants will thrive with this all-natural compost. Sorting out the undigested scraps can be a messy, inconvenient chore with ordinary worm composters.

How does The Worm Factory work?

The Worm Factory automatically separates worms from finished compost. The Worm Factory is easy to set up and easy to use. Place bedding and scraps in the bottom tray then add your worms. Place the lid inside the top tray to provide light cover with proper ventilation. As the worms finish digesting, they will migrate upward into the tray above, leaving rich castings behind. The concentrated liquid created from the worm castings, also known as worm tea, can be effortlessly drained as liquid fertilizer from the spigot at the bottom of The Worm Factory. It couldn’t be easier or cleaner. The lid also provides proper ventilation so there are no unpleasant odors. Because it’s clean, mess free, and odor free, composting with The Worm Factory makes it possible to be placed indoors or outdoors for home owners and apartment dwellers alike. In full operation, the Worm Factory houses 10,000 to 12,000 worms, consumes 5 to 8 pounds of food a week, allowing you to harvest a full tray of nutrient rich castings every month.

Each Worm Factory comes with simple but detailed instructions to help you get started. The Worm Factory is made in the U.S.A. The Worm Factory comes in two colors, black and terracotta. The black is constructed from high quality recycled plastic and the terracotta is made with pure-virgin food grade plastic. Each Worm Factory comes with a limited 5 year warranty on materials and workmanship.

How The Worm Factory stands out from other competitors?

The Worm Factory has a unique design which makes us much different from other upward migrating worm composters and here is why:

The Smallest Footprint: The Worm Factory has the smallest footprint. It takes up 20% less floor space than larger units but there is no restriction on how many trays you can stack. The Worm Factory is capable of holding the largest capacity in the smallest area.

Expandable and Manageable: The Worm Factory is expandable allowing for multiple trays to be stack on top of each other. As the compost shrinks, the trays shrink along with it allowing effortless, upward migration for the worms. The Worm Factory is also more manageable than other composters. Compared to the Can-o-worms trays that hold about 22.5 pounds of compost, The Worm Factory’s trays hold about 12.5 pounds of compost which make them easy to lift and restack for people young and old.

Ventilation Lid with Tips: Some composters come with tight fitting lids. As compost processes, both gas and heat are given off which must be ventilated. If poorly ventilated, gas and heat build up and water is formed. With increased moisture in the bedding, the amount of oxygen is depleted. This fosters a chain reaction of anaerobic bacteria which creates more gas, giving off an obnoxious smell of rotten eggs.

To operate an odorless worm composter at its maximum efficiency, the bedding and food must have a controlled amount of moisture and the maximum amount of air. This combination fosters aerobic bacteria, the essential, most basic, single element which worms consume.

With The Worm Factory’s unrestricting lid, the loose fit provides maximum ventilation for air flow to get the good bacteria for your worms and to prevent that rotten egg smell. There are also composting tips printed on the lid for a quick reference.

Worm Bin Instruction Manual: One of the best features of The Worm Factory is the complete 16 page, illustrated instruction manual. Whether you are an expert or a beginner, the manual will assure you a successful outcome of recycling your kitchen waist and create the most nutrient rich soil for your house plants, containers and garden.
