5.0 out of 5 stars Super convienience and function, November 12, 2007

This bin looks good in the kitchen, is more than easy to use and my worms are very happy in it. It has large trays so you can keep using it for a good while before paying it any attention (like removing completed compost). The bottom collects "worm tea" which your plants will love and the lid keeps uglies out of sight but is well ventilated for the worms. And it's true: no flies, no stink, nada. Honestly, I will probably buy another one soon (there's always more waste to be wormed!).

5.0 out of 5 stars Makes Vermiculture easy, April 24, 2008

By	Stephanie Manley (Houston, TX) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

I have had worm farms before, but this is the easiest way to actually seperate the food from the castings. You use a system of trays, intially placing the food in the bottom tray, and the tray above it is mostly fiberous material. Then you stop feeding them on the lower tray and then start adding food to the tray up above, and then adding another more fiberous tray.

This system eliminates the feeding the worms in one spot and then pulling out the castings, trying to leave all of the worms in there you can. I like that the worms have more mobility so just in case your feeding area is too wet they can move around. I also like there is lots of air in this system so everything doesn't get too wet.

The tray system was easy to put together, it took only a few minutes. It also comes with your initial bedding of coconut husks. Ideally you will want to put your farm into place, and wet down your bedding, and then get your worms. There are instructions on the top of the lid of the bin to tell you what to feed your worms with, and a great guide that also comes with the bin. I highly recommend this worm bin.

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoy composting kitchen scraps, September 23, 2008

I bought a 5 level unit. It's as described except a weed barrier mesh or window screen doesn't come with it and is needed in the lowest part that catches and drains liguids. That's why it's 4 instead of 5 star. Without it the spout becomes clogged and you have to disassemble to clean with a hose. Some trick are if you see fruit flies or worms try to escape, then it's too moist in the unit and add some shredded paper and it solves the problem. My kids and grandkids get a kick out of seeing how many worm.
