When it comes to compost bins, all we can think of is a box or a large barrel in the backyard, or a small insulated barrel in the corner of the kitchen, but this underground compost bin opened the door to a new world for me. It is small and simple, easy to install, and feels like a super environmentally friendly and life-loving little expert!An underground compost bin is an environmentally friendly device that converts organic waste into fertilizer. It creates a moist, oxygen-deficient environment underground, allowing organic matter to decompose naturally and eventually become fertilizer that can be used for plant growth. This method not only reduces garbage, but also provides natural nutrients for your garden or vegetable plot, which is really killing two birds with one stone! We just need to bury the underground compost bin in the required location, and then pour organic biological kitchen waste into it from time to time and cover it with a lid (in theory, as long as it is not full, you can add it every day), and then wait for the earthworms to eat and convert the garbage into organic fertilizer.

Review: Inground Worm Farm Compost Bin Kit for Recycling Kitchen Food WasteA Home Gardener's Dream Come TrueI recently purchased the Inground Worm Farm Compost Bin Kit, and I must say, it has been a fantastic addition to my garden. This innovative solution for recycling kitchen food waste is not only eco-friendly but also remarkably easy to install and maintain.Installation ProcessThe installation process is straightforward and doesn't require much effort. I used a standard post hole digger, which worked perfectly as the bin's diameter is slightly smaller than the digger's. I simply dug a hole, placed the bin inside, and ensured the top was level with the soil line. This seamless installation process took less than an hour, making it accessible for anyone, regardless of their gardening experience.FunctionalityOnce the bin is installed, you can start adding non-meat food scraps. I've been using it to dispose of vegetable peels, fruit cores, and even coffee grounds. The bin is designed with holes and a lid, which are crucial for air circulation and moisture management. These features help prevent odors and ensure the composting process is efficient.Worms: The Unsung HeroesThe bin naturally attracts worms, but it can take a few weeks for them to find their way in. To expedite the process, I added some fishing bait worms, which quickly set up residence. Within a couple of weeks, I noticed baby worms and a healthy worm population. The presence of worms is essential because they break down the food waste into nutrient-rich compost, which is perfect for enriching my raised garden beds.Benefits Eco-Friendly: This bin helps reduce kitchen waste and turns it into a valuable resource for my garden. Low Maintenance: Other than adding food scraps and occasionally checking the moisture level, there's very little upkeep required. Fishing Bait: As an added bonus, I now have a constant supply of fishing bait, which is a significant cost-saver for my outdoor activities. Soil Enrichment: The compost produced by the worms is rich in nutrients and has significantly improved the health and productivity of my plants.Design and DurabilityThe bin is well-constructed and durable. The holes are strategically placed to allow for optimal air flow and drainage, which is crucial for the composting process. The lid is secure and keeps out pests, ensuring that only beneficial organisms like worms have access to the food waste.ConclusionOverall, the Inground Worm Farm Compost Bin Kit is a must-have for any home gardener. It's easy to install, low maintenance, and provides a sustainable way to manage kitchen waste while enriching your soil. The added benefit of having a year-round supply of fishing bait is just the cherry on top. I highly recommend this product to anyone looking to enhance their garden and live a more environmentally conscious lifestyle.

Love the idea of feeding my garden as it stands, but the animals have figured out how to pull it up to get the food..I would still buy them again though...

I plan to bury this little composter in my raised bed. The plastic is thick and substantial, and the lid seems like it will do a good job sealing in any smells. This is a small little composting bin, and will not compost much, but I am hoping that if I keep adding kitchen veggie and fruit scraps it will help attract earth worms up into my raised bed where they will help keep my soil happy and healthy. Maybe I am overthinking this thing called gardening, but I'll give this a try to see if it makes a difference for my garden.

I use these in container gardens. Both worms and I are pleased with the arrangement. Periodically, I do have to remove the worm castings that build up in here, but still a win.

I'm just starting to compost and experiment with different composting methods. When I saw this product, the listing title indicated it was a worm farm, so I was intrigued and decided to check it out. I'm using it in a raised planter, so I may not be able to see the worms. However, I did discover that banana peels attract fruit flies, so I avoid using them in this compost bin.

This seems to be the new gardening drop shop product. Honestly a good, cheaper copy cat of a name brand product. The name brand holds 8 gallons and costs 40 USD. Even the largest of this drop shop item is less than 4 gallons at the same price. The small one holds less than a third of that and costs half (20 USD). Do I think it is worth it at this price? Absolutely not. Take a plastic planter and drill holes in it and place a block on top to cover. The only thing I would consider would be the 3-pack as that would be a much more economic price. Otherwise, DIY or buy name brand to get your money worth. The 3 pack is decent price for people not needing a large, 8 gallon version.
