The Essential Living Composter, Worm Composter (Grey)

I love this set up so much! The worms really do migrate to the top level when the bottom one is full and this makes getting the waste material so much easier than just using a single layer bin. The bin holds a lot of red wiggler worms. If you are purchasing them, starting with the standard bag they sell would be perfect. Final thoughts, this is a great set up for kids, small spaces, and for teaching about composting. I initially bought one for my work with adults who have intellectual disabilities and loved it so much I bought one for me. I've had worm composters in the past and they were cumbersome and eventually I gave up. This one makes it easy to use and care for, I have no issues with odor or bugs, and I can see when the worms are migrating up. Very exciting 😊

This is my first time vermicomposting, so I don’t have a lot of experience but I thought this bin was perfect. Very easy to set up, comes with starter bedding and coconut coir to get you started. It also looks very nice, absolutely no one would know that I have 1000+ worms in my apartment. I’ve had this bin for about 3 months and my worms are thriving, I’m getting compost, and no smell! For context I live in a 2 person apartment so no leaves or yard scraps being added to the bin. Just weekly cooking scraps and some small garden trimmings.

Pisitiv: gut verarbeitet und stabil. Da kann man nicht meckern. Aufbau ist einfach, trotz der fehlenden deutschen Anleitung. Gestern bekommen und aufgebaut und die fleißigen Helfer sind auch schon eingezogen. Heute Morgen die Kontrolle... Negativ: die Würmchen können gut Klettern. Leider ist der Deckel nicht dicht am Rand. Vor allem da wo die Griffmulden sind. Und nach unten können die auch. Trotz der eingelegten Zeitschrift. Also entweder die Würmer hauen nach unten ab oder sie ertrinken in Wurmtee wenn der mal da ist irgendwann. Ein Sieb nach unten und ein dichter Deckel wären toll! Muss mal schauen ob ich da was modifizieren kann...wenn nicht geht das Teil zurück.

I did a lot of shopping for worm farms and I chose this one because I liked the materials it was made out of and other positive reviews. I saw on another one of their product reviews that someone put a screen on the bottom before adding the dirt and worms. I am glad I did that because a think the worms could potentially fall through the holes if I didn't. I wish I would have taken a pic but we were too excited to put it together! The first night I did have a couple "escapees" but I think that is pretty normal since they were new and did not have any food yet. since feeding them, I have not had any issues. I think there is sufficient air flow, but if I have issues, I may drill some holes and put a screen over the holes. Instructions were clear and easy to follow I also like how I can add more levels as it grows. I chose to not buy the bigger one first because I wasn't sure how this would go, so far so good! My 3 year old is loving helping and feeding the worms!
