Ordered mine on Sunday and arrived yesterday and I assembled it today. The parts look and feel very well made. Instructions were easy to follow unless you are like me who likes to jump ahead. I put the latches front and back instead of on the sides so I had to remove the top from the bottom part and the bottom part from the stands. The whole thing is easy to disassemble if you have to. I bought the worms from a local seller and picked up a bag of compost from Home Depot today which I mixed with coir and my compost is up and running. I put it under our covered patio which gets sun in late afternoon. To protect it from the sun and prevent heat build up, I used the box it came in to cover the bin around and the top and bottom loose cardboard went on the lid. I can't wait to harvest my first compost.
7/16/2018. Update: It has been four months since I started using my bin. It has been very useful in that it's big enough for the kitchen scrap we have. My worms have multiplied a lot. My only complaint is that when I collect compost that falls underneath, which is mostly the compost that I first put in at the start, there are worms in it. I don't know why. I thought red worms stay only at the top. The way I separate the worms from the compost is to put the compost in one of the composting trays that I have (similar to worm factory) with holes on the bottom. I put a bunch of kitchen scrap on top of the bin and then put the tray on top of that. I keep the lid open to let light in. Since the worms don't like light, the worms in my collected compost go down to the scraps. The collected compost also doesn't have food for them so they go after the scraps underneath the tray. This might be a bit of extra work but it's worth the effort and it's not really a big deal to me.
7/20/2018 Update: Just collected today a lot of compost that finally looks like has a lot more worm compost in it than the ones I collected before. I can tell because it has crushed eggshells in it which means it’s the layer with kitchen scraps, not the store bought bagged compost. As you can see, there are worms in it. As I explained in my first update, with light (lid opened) and fresh kitchen scraps underneath the tray, the worms will work their way down. When all the worms are gone, I can use the compost.
12/9/2018: This past summer, when it got hot, I relocated the bin under our covered patio where the sun doesn't hit it. When it got really hot, I kept the lid opened for a while and a rat was able to get inside. I think it ate a lot of worms (I read that rats do eat worms) because I noticed that there were less of them. So I took a metal window screen and covered the opening with it and placed a piece of heavy wood 24 inches long by 6 inches wide and one inch thick on front of the opening to make sure a rat doesn't try to go inside. Then I put the lid down. I noticed then that when I removed the wood, some worms were still crawling to the screen and lid. I was thinking that maybe they were trying to escape because they needed more air. When I placed the wood back, no worms were trying to escape. Now my worms are very happy and growing fast that I see clumps of them.
7/25/2019 Update: It has been over a year since I bought my Hungry Bin and I'm still loving it. Tried all other compost bins and this is the best. The bin has so many worms that they crawl all the way down to the collection tray. I remove them by exposing them in the light forcing them to crawl on the bottom of the pile and then scrape off the top which is free of worms. The collected worms go back in the pile. I stopped using the tray to separate the worms (I sold my vermihut). I still put a metal screen on the opening to give the worms ventilation and put the lid partway down. When it's too hot, I keep the door all the way up and placed boards on top (with gaps in between) to keep rodents from lifting up the screen. To keep the compost odorless, I keep a balance mix of green and brown waste by mixing in some dry brown leaves once in a while.

Descripción del producto
¿Qué es Hungry Bin?
Diseñado y fabricado en Nueva Zelanda, Hungry Bin es una manera rápida y cómoda de abonar tus restos de alimentos. Los gusanos que viven en la Papelera Hambrienta comerán su peso en alimentos al día. La Papelera Hambrienta puede procesar desde la menor cantidad de residuos hasta 4.4 lbs por día.
¿Cómo funciona?
La papelera hambrienta es difícil de desperdiciar, fácil en tu espalda. Hungry Bin está diseñado para hacer que la cosecha acabada de fundición de gusanos sea rápida y fácil. El diseño separa los gusanos de las coladas antes de la cosecha. Las coladas de pescado se cosechan desde la parte inferior de la basura. No más bandejas pesadas y húmedas llenas de suciedad y gusanos.
Alta capacidad
Los residuos son costosos, especialmente para las empresas. Ahorre dinero y tiempo procesando el desperdicio de alimentos in situ, con costos mínimos de mano de obra. El sistema Hungry Bin es modular, por lo que puedes encajar en cualquier espacio de tamaño. Solo tienes que añadir más contenedores como los necesitas.
Fácil de mover.
Hungry Bin tiene ruedas que moverlo que puedas. No huele ni atraerá moscas. La tapa está a una altura práctica para que puedas meter los restos fácilmente. La papelera hambrienta es genial si tienes un pequeño jardín o balcón.
Características:
Los residuos alimenticios representan casi el 50% de los desechos que arrojan los hogares. Guarda tus residuos del vertedero y conviértelos en algo útil.
El diseño elevado significa que las ratas y los ratones no pueden entrar en el contenedor hambriento.
¿Por qué pagar el fertilizante? Alimenta tus plantas fertilizante que has hecho tú mismo.
Sin levantamiento pesado, sin excavar, compost de alta calidad cuando lo necesitas.

Solid construction. Lid can be problematic.
NOTE: photo shows a modification I made to the product to let light into the top. IT IS NOT PART OF THE STANDARD PRODUCT. The extra light keeps worms in the material and discourages them from climbing up sides. Pros: - Easy to set up - Solid construction - Can be easily moved. Which is important because when fill it gets HEAVY. - Been using for 6 months and it's holding up well. Bottom latch works once you learn how to use it. - Continuous feed system works surprisingly well. You can take off the bottom and only SOME finished material falls through. Cons: - Lid is problematic when kept closed: - Worms tend to crawl up sides because it's dark (I experimented with transparent window on top to fix this, but too much moisture STILL an issue) - Too much moisture is retained and can lead to mites. - Internal heat build-up can be an issue. - Worms love to congregate in the bottom, so separating them from the finished castings is a bit of work. Misc recommendations: - Get a cheap "Duel, wired Digital Thermometer" (e.g. B0957XFHCK www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0957XFHCK) put one end into the middle of the bin and make sure the temperature doesn't get too high. If it starts to get a heat spike from decomposition, I use as broom handle to create "columns" all the way to the bottom to allow air to pass through. - I initially modified my bin to add a "window" in the lid using an old security cam dome to allow light in (this keeps the worms from climbing up sides). But I still struggled with too much moisture which lead to compost mites (NOT a health risk but ewww). SOLUTION: just put some screen material (like what is used for a screen window or door) over the top and leave the lid open. Controls the moisture, keeps pests out like fruit flies. - Buy and use Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth. This controls insect pests and does not hurt worms. In fact, it serves as grit to aid in their digestion! - If you use coffee grounds, buy and use Oyster Shell Flour to balance out pH levels. Also serves as grit. - Use a paper shredder to shred cardboard boxes. Just make sure to NOT shred labels or tape. Soak cardboard in water and wring out before using. Worms LOVE pizza boxes. Manufacturer recommendation if they read this: Include some kind of secure screen lid that fits security. It would be used when the lid is open to control moisture. And when the lid is closed, it would just to keep worms better contained.

Meine Würmer bekamen zu wenig Sauerstoff
An sich ein sehr gutes Produkt, leider sind die vom Hersteller eingestanztenLuftlöcher im Deckel der Tonne zu klein. Die Würmer bekommen somit zu wenig Sauerstoff und ergreifen die Flucht. Bei offenen Deckel gibt es kein Problem. Die ersten drei Tage ließ ich die Tonne mit geöffneten Deckel unter dem künstlichen Licht stehen, so dass die Würmer sich an ihr neues zu Hause gewöhnen können. Danach verschloss ich die Tonne mit dem vorgesehenen Deckel und die Wurm Flucht setzte sich in Gang. Schließlich öffnete ich den Deckel wieder und ließ das Zimmerlicht wieder brennen. Die Wurmflucht hatte wieder ein Ende. Aber das konnte es ja nicht sein, ich kann ja nicht 365 Tage lang das Licht brennen lassen, also musste eine andere Lösung her. Ich machte mich im Internet schlau. Anfänglich dachte ich den Würmern wäre es zu trocken, somit übergoss den Bio Müll zwei Tage hintereinander mit jeweils 500 ml Wasser. Tatsächlich krochen keine Würmer aus der Tonne. Nun dachte ich, ich hätte das Problem gelöst und schloss den Deckel erneut. Am nächsten Tag befanden sich wieder Würmer auf dem Fußboden, die durch die Ritze zwischen Behälter und Deckel flohen. Nachdem ich den Deckel wieder öffnete und alle Würmer in dem Biomüll setzte, war wieder Ruhe. Stundenweise versuchte ich ein Experiment: ich ließ die Tonne ohne Lichtzufuhr aber mit geöffneten Deckel stehen. Alle zwei, drei Stunden schaute ich nach, und erstaunlicherweise befand sich kein Wurm auf der Flucht. Schließlich führte ich dieses Experiment eine ganze Nacht durch und war erfolgreich, seitdem der Deckel geöffnet ist, aber in einem dunklen Raum steht, will keiner der Würmer mehr abhauen. Bereits beim Zusammenbau fielen mir die kleinen Löcher im Deckel des Herstellers auf. Ich dachte, na, ob das für ausreichend Luftzufuhr ausreichend ist? Da das Produkt aber sicherlich ausreichend getestet wurde, bevor es in den Handel ging, machte ich mir hierüber keine Gedanken mehr. Ich werde nun in den kommenden Tagen mit dem Bohrer weitere größere Löcher in den Kunststoffdeckel bohren.M.PeterMeine Würmer bekamen zu wenig Sauerstoff

Auch habe ich bei Amazon noch ein Moskitonetz für Bio Tonnen bestellt. Da es mir aber zu umständlich ist, dieses immer abzunehmen, um den Müll einfüllen zu können, werde ich mich für die Bohrlöcher im Deckel entscheiden.
Auch finde ich es sehr schade, dass die Betriebsanleitung für die Erstanwendung nur in Englisch beigefügt ist. Hier wäre es sicherlich sinnvoll, weitere Sprachen mit aufzunehmen.
Aufgrund der beschriebenen Defizite erhält das Produkt von mir, einen Stern weniger.
Ansonsten finde ich das Produkt genial, hochwertig und einfach im Aufbau.
Gerne hätte ich die Antwort des Herstellers auf mein angesprochene Problem mit den Luftlöchern gewusst. Vielleicht habe ich Glück und Amazon meldet sich bei mir diesbezüglich. Ansonsten scheinen sich meine Würmer mittlerweile wohl zu fühlen. Nach einer Woche tritt bereits Wurmsaft aus. Hierzu füge ich euch noch Bilder und ein Kurzvideo bei.

I was questioning any kind of worm farm and the ability to take advantage of all aspects.
I am all about reduce, reuse and composting so this concept of composting, while using the castings for my garden and even the liquid at the end was a great idea, if it worked. I tried this idea in a Rubbermaid container and actually had a results. This convinced me that with a great system it could really worked. It does. I started in April and have had plenty of nutrient rich liquid and castings for my vegetable garden. I am preparing for the coming winter and will be taking the bin in my workshop and not even worried about any smell. I guess if done right there is very little to none. I will also say that the customer service from Scott B. was fantastic and quick. This was worth the purchase for me.
