What is worm composting?

Worm composting converts kitchen scraps (e.g vegetables, egg shells, coffee grounds and even junk mail!) into nutrient-rich compost for your garden. Most experienced gardeners consider worm castings to be the very best compost available. Your plants will thrive with this all-natural compost.

Also called vermiculture, worm composting is easy, reduces your organic waste output (substantially), and produces excellent fertilizer.  Akin to recycling, this is an easy way to be greener every day.

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.
