Description


What is The Worm Factory® 5-Tray Recycled Plastic Worm Composter - Green and how does it work?
This green 5-tray worm composter is a multi-tray compost system that helps manage the composting process and provides you with nutrient-rich compost for your garden. It's easy to set up and simple to use. Fill each stacking tray with 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. Worms start in the bottom tray and migrate upward as they break down the waste. This allows worms to separate themselves from the finished compost making it easy to add nutrient-rich fertilizer to plants and gardens without sorting worms. Additionally, nutrient-rich moisture is captured in the collection tray and can be drained as liquid fertilizer known as "worm tea".


What are the benefits of using The Worm Factory®?


  • The Worm Factory® is Compact:
With its square design and having the smallest footprint of all the worm composters, The Worm Factory® 4-Tray Worm Composter - Green works great for anyone with space requirements. The Worm Factory® uses a tray stacking system which allows it to hold the largest capacity of compost in the smallest amount of space.

  • The Worm Factory® is Odorless:
The ventilation lid allows proper air flow and the instruction manual helps you manage The Worm Factory® correctly to prevent odor. This means that it can be used year round and can be housed anywhere, including apartments, kitchens, garages, porches, etc.

  • The Worm Factory® is Easy to Manage:
The 16-page instruction manual makes the setup process fast and easy and gives detailed instructions on how manage the bin year round. Each tray holds 12.5 pounds of compost, which makes lifting and arranging trays effortless. The ventilation lid also contains a list of composting tips for quick reference.

  • The Worm Factory® Saves Time:
Let The Worm Factory® do the work for you! Instead of spending time turning piles of compost yourself and removing worms by hand, the multi-tray system separates the worms from the compost so you don't have to. Also, because the worms continually eat through your kitchen scraps and junk mail, nutrient-rich compost is produced at a faster rate than traditional ways of composting. In full operation, the Worm Factory® houses 6,000 worms, consumes 5 to 8 pounds of food a week, allowing you to harvest a full tray of nutrient-rich castings every month. This allows you to bring rich dark compost to your plants and gardens at a faster rate.

    Wilderness Boundary Restaurant purchased four composters for our new organic greenhouse. We have only used the composter for a few weeks and thus far we have utilized pounds of what would otherwise be kitchen waste. The "food" is going through and old food processor that we had on hand, this makes the worms work a lot faster. We have fed three times and the food waste has already been turned to great soil. We are still on our first layer but the worms seem very ambitious. Following the instructions was easy but a few conflicting areas such as temperature were noticed. We think the Worm Factory is great and we are now able to utilize what would otherwise be waste. We can't wait to try the worm tea when the worms really start producing our fertilizer and soil. We are impressed and we've just begun. The Worm Factory is an integral part of our organic greenhouse, it is just as important as the vegetables and herbs.

      I did a lot of research before ordering the worm composter and placed the order on a Monday. Had the composter here on Tuesday and the worms on Thursday and have it all set up, which was really simple, and am excited to see the resulting compost/castings. Great customer service, prompt arrival of goods, good value, very pleased so far.

            the worm bin works well outside and inside during winter months. the design is inconspicuous but looks quite at home on a porch, patio or front stoop. the worms need very little care and once you figure out what they need in your climate, they become very low-maintenance garbage-eating-compost-making little machines. i bought one and my mother-in-law was so impressed that she ordered one for her daughters who live in a high rise in brooklyn. truly a versatile product that can work well for those in an apartment with house plants or someone with a large, rural garden.
