Product Description
Worm composting is an incredibly efficient way to convert kitchen scraps into nutrient rich compost for your garden. The worms begin eating waste in the lowest tray and then migrate upward as food sources in that tray are exhausted. By doing so, the worms remove themselves from the usable composting which makes it easy to harvest. In addition, there is a collection tray on the bottom to gather liquid fertilizer which can be drained with a spigot.

 A very handy way to raise worms May 8, 2008

I have the five tray system an love the Worm Factory. The Worm Factory has been my most pleasant experience in raising worms. You absolutely can raise red wrigglers in a plastic tub. This system is better for many reasons. Unlike a plastic tub you tend to worry about this system staying too moist, as it trays help distribute the moisture. The worms can also navigate to the tray that they like best, whether they want to tunnel around in the food layer, or the more fiberous layers that you may have.
Another large benefit of this system is you do not need to worry when you harvest your castings. Simply stop feeding in one of the lower trays, and feed in the tray above it. This way the worms will move, and you will not have to worry about tossing out your worms and worm eggs when you harvest the castings into your garden.
I did a lot of reading up on this system, and since I live so far in the north I was looking for a system that could be odorless and be kept inside during the winter. This system is odorless. I really can't say enough about how well designed this system is, it really makes vermiculture easy.

In 3 weeks, the worms have really demonstrated their appreciation of their new home. They are athletic - zooming around all over, eating well, and reproducing. It's convenient [except the top is drippy if you need to put it down somewhere] and is just what I was expecting. A word of caution though - the coir brick expands A LOT with water. Make sure you have a large container.
Vermiculture Made Easy June 11, 2010

My first worm bin was in a large recycled plastic tote. It was fine. It produced a quality compost. But removing the worms was a chore.
The Worm Factory Composter has made vermiculture neat and easy. It is odorless and makes compost tea easily drained from the spout. As one bin is filled, begin to fill the next (per included instructions.) The worms migrate up to the next level in search of food. By the time the top 4th bin is full, the 1st bin is ready to use.
It was hard for me to justify the cost initially, but it was a worthwhile purchase. I recommend this bin, and it makes a great gift (for the right person.) This product has been very successful in my basement. I recommend also buying the book "Worms Eat my Garbage" for a more thorough vermiculture reference.

I have had mine for about 3 years now and it works great. The directions that came with it eventually ended up in the composter. I suggest reading up on worm composting to get a better idea on how to use it. I put most of my food waste in it. I had to purchase a few more trays so that it would last the winter without emptying the trays. The worms don't like the cold. I highly recomend this. The great thing about this is that it so simple to maintain. I have left mine alone for a few months and in the spring there is always enough worms to start over. My gardens just love this stuff.

Very professional apparatus--it will make worm composting much easier and more hands off.
Note: It didn't come with the coir brick (as the instructions say it was supposed to), but I can get that at a local gardening store.
