This is more for indoor. I’d say it won’t hold well outside. It is a smaller size for indoor, it comes with everything needed and to me (who’s never done this before) the directions were not hard to understand. Read carefully, look at the charts and pics provided and you will do fine. I’d start with 50 to 100 worms as it is a smaller size. Some people have posted about worms escaping, and yes, they can and some will for the first few days until they settle. Once they settle they really shouldn’t escape as long as you keep their soil moist and proper ph. Shine a bright light over them with the lid off for 1 to 3 days and that helps them settle fast since they don’t like the light. If they start escaping in large numbers again there is an issue with their soil. I do wish the top lid fit better. I ordered a replacement to see if my lid was just warped, so we’ll see but other than that I am happy with it. My worms have settled and all is well.Update: the lid does the same, however no worms have escaped in a few days so they have settled and as long as you keep their environment moist with proper ph and food they won’t leave.

So nice to be able to compost at home in a small space without the luxury of a large backyard compost pile. Very sturdy and easy to set-up

I've built a DIY worm bin in the past by stacking cheap bins. For the amount of work and cost, this one is the way to go. The worms can travel between layers easily since there are tons of holes (my DIY had to manually drill each hole). The kit came with Coco Coir too, which is expensive in my area. I like the Rack tool since it lets me dig around to check out the worm population too.The bin was pretty easy to setup. It took some time for the coco coir brick to spread out in water. I split it in half and use some shredded cardboard to fill the medium. This way I can add coco coir in different levers later. I recommend adding a moat for the legs so ants and other critters can't climb in. I just fill mine with cooking oil so it doesn't evaporate.I was able to jump start my system using worms from my other composter. They've been munching away and seem happy. I especially like the look of this bin. The lid has a "Worm Farm" sign on it and it's a great conversation starter! I've been able to convince a few to start worm farming too. Overall I'm pleased happy with this product and it's one of the few instances I recommend buying vs DIY.

I'll be using this to re-home my daughter's small homemade worm farm so it can expand in size. This will be way easier to clean and maintain than our current setup. Should make it nice and easy to go fishing on the cheap. It also has a drain for the worm soup fluid. Great way to get some scraps for the garden compost as well.

The farm is well-designed, easy to maintain. The worm farm's compact and space-efficient design makes it perfect for small gardens. I highly recommend this worm farm for anyone looking to create a self-sustaining composting system. With a little care and attention, it will thrive and provide a bounty of rich compost. If you're looking to minimize waste, reduce your carbon footprint, and create a nutrient-rich soil amendment, this worm farm is an excellent choice.

Muy fácil ponerlo a funcionar. Yo ya tenía mi lombricomposta en unos tambos que yo hice y fue muy fácil mudarlas

I love that I switched to this from my tote. I am looking for a 2nd now possibly because I used to feed so much more than I feel like I can fit in these systems but the castings are amazing the system works and harvesting will be such a breeze now!

Really sturdy worm bin. Love that this kit came with additional items needed for the bin like the liner, the tools, and specially the manual. This manual is actually informational and easy to read and follow the instructions. Looking forward for my worm population to multiply. Love the size as well, it fits under my kitchen sink.

I was using 5 gallon buckets and then I saw these. I was wondering if these are better and they are. They give the perfect air flow and it doesn’t make a smell. The worms love the extra space compared to my single 5 gallon buckets. The build quality is very sturdy and strong. It was super easy to assemble.

I have been trying to grow fruit trees and vegetables for several years now and have had limited success: specifically, with tomatoes, guava tree, papaya, and basil. I have had low or non-existent success rates with dragonfruit, donut peach, mulberry, atemoya, blueberries, and clementine.My friend told me to start providing better nutrition to the trees in addition to check the soil chemical composition. For the former, I took food scraps (fish bones, egg shells, banana peels, etc) and mixed them into the top soil. It seems to have helped after a few years. The problem with this method is that the food smells and attracts little flies. I wanted to address these issues by doing proper composting and started doing research.To start worm composting, I first got myself this multi-tray set of bins, added some bedding (4-6 inches of paper, cardboard, aged compost), dug up some worms from our backyard (they easily come out in the front yard after a rainy day, too), and mixed in food scraps.The bin comes with a lid and air holes to help with temperature regulation.For worms, the general rule, I have been told, is to get about 1,000 earthworms per sq ft of bin space. That's a LOT. I only started with about 15 or so that I found. My hope is for them to reproduce over time since I am not in a hurry, but I may end up adding hundreds more in the near future.Food scraps: Worms will eat almost anything that was once living, including veggies, fruit scraps, coffee grounds, tea bags, vacuum cleaner dust.To prepare the bedding, I first started with:1. Adding the worms2. Burying food scraps under the bedding3. Covering the food scraps with a layer of shredded paper4. Added more dirt and moist paper until the worms have made enough compost to cover the food scrapsI was told that it can take 6-8 weeks for worms to produce a noticeable amount of compost. My friend also told me that I can remove the compost by stopping the feeding of the worms for a few weeks every 3-4 months, and raking the compost to one side of the bin.I did it for about 4 weeks so far with just a limited number of worms. The bin does not smell as bad as my old method, and I can see the compost slowly becoming a nice fertilizer.As one tray gets full, I simply add another tray on top and start the whole process again by digging up some of the worms from the bottom tray and transferring them to the new one.No edit or delete.

For home composting and obtaining high quality worm castings and worm tea, this product is my "go to". My first unit has provided me with almost 250 ml of worm tea in under 3 months and my first tray of worm castings, both of which will be used in the next growing season next summer.The kit comes with aa detailed instruction book, and all of the necessary tools to ensure any novice can become proficient in doing home composting indoors. Further, just add red wrigglers, and you can start harvesting the fruits of the worms digesting your vegetable waste matter. Avoid giving them onions and tomatoes (too acidic) and let them chow down. Feed them every two or three days and watch the bounty accumulate. Banana peels, apple peels and cores, lettuce, carrot, potato peels, and other vegetable and fruit - the worms love it.Just follow the instructions and do a few searches online to ensure you learn about the possible challenges and how to mitigate them.
