Step into the world of vermiculture with Worm Nerd’s 4-Tray Worm Composting Bin. Composting worms are voracious eaters that consume fruit and vegetable scraps, cardboard, shredded paper, and other organic waste. In vermiculture, these worms are congregated together and fed organic matter that would otherwise be thrown away. This convenient 4-tray bin includes (3) screened trays for worms and compost, (1) elevated base tray for liquid collection, (1) lid, and (1) spigot with a rubber seal. Lightweight and portable, it’s easy to relocate as needed and compact enough to keep on countertops or other small spaces. Available in 3 attractive colors: classic black, slate gray, and desert tan.

The bin seems fine for the food waste from family of three. Easy to use and seems to do the trick. The spigot was too big for the hole though, and we had to file down the spigot and add silicon adhesive to then attach/ seal it to the tray. I don’t think many people would go through that trouble to make it work, considering it should be a ready to use new product.Still waiting for the silicon to fully dry before trying out getting compost tea. Fingers crossed it works and doesn’t leak.

This has worked perfectly for my little worm farm. My worms are thriving and I am seeing new worms emerging.

This composter does the job for around 2 people. I cannot put all the scraps for the entire family since it would be too much to feed for one week. What I do is put some of the kitchen waste in the compost and others in the city compost bin. This is my winter bin to keep some worm alive when it is -30degree Celsius outside. During summer I have a bigger one outside that holds all the waste.For what I can put in it does the job really well and the worms are happy.One drawback is that the worms falls in the bottom bin , then every few days I need to put the worm back on the top ( as per documentation) . This mostly happens when you start your first bin. Happens less with 2 bins.

It's small but a good starter worm bin. Gives you great ideas on how to start and manage home composting worm bins.

Arrived missing spigot. Emailed customer service and they sent out a replacement I should get that soon. Solid product overall

I've had this bin for a few months now, and it's nice, compact, easy to use, and relatively clean. If you're looking to get a load of worm compost within even two months, you might need to lower your expectations. It really is small. But it's a fun way to make compost indoors, especially when the weather starts to get cold. And I have two young boys, who find it hilarious and interesting!I started off with some red wrigglers bought at my local pet store, which probably only had around 25 worms (hence, the slowness). I now have no idea how many I have, it's been maybe 5 months, and I just added the second tray on top of the initial one. I still have not harvest the castings below, but I have the luxury of not being in a hurry. There's very little smell, as long as you add shredded paper on top every time you add food, and don't add food too quickly. As long as it's closed, I don't smell anything at all, and I don't get a ton of leftover liquid at the bottom either.Overall, love the product. I may contemplate getting a larger one in future but right now, that's just not feasible, and I'm quite happy with how this has turned out so far.

I have fertilizer on tap in my garage! The plants really love it! It is convenient for me to put the compost scraps in here instead of going out to the yard. The fertilizer smells very strong when you drain it from the tap, otherwise there is no odor I have detected outside the unit. The worms seem to like it ok. They don’t try to escape it, which I have seen worms do in flowerpots etc.

It’s too small to function properly. I thought it would be comparable to other worm towers at half price but it’s like 10x9 inches. Once I got the bedding down and added one kitchen scrap session it was full and the bins wouldn’t sit properly allowing for worms to escape. Like how much input and output would you get from as system like this and is it worth it extra work to keep your worms alive. Feels like a scam cus your worms would be dead by the Amazon return period expired. Get the better proven system or DIY one for a fraction of the price.P.S I struggled to get the spigot on and had to clean up the plastic with a razor. Poor quality control and no breathing holes either

Very easy to put together and no leaks or issues.I put divided cardboard along the bottom instead of newspaper (don't have that, just circulars with lots of ink) and mixed half of the included coco coir (which was loose in a bag and not as a brick as stated) with equal amount moist shredded paper and drizzled about a tablespoon of ground egg shell and oats (from coffee grinder) and let that sit for a couple days before a small order of 50 worms arrived. I lightly spread them around and covered with dry shredded paper to near the top of the tray. I made sure the lid closed tightly and that was two weeks ago and none have crawled out the top or drowned in the bottom tray, and I saw a few when I last buried a small (2 tbsp) feeding. I thought I might have prepped it a little dry, but there was a decent amount of fairly clear water in the bottom tray later when I checked and the spout worked well to drain most of it out. No odor at all, but I haven't put much actual kitchen scraps in yet.If you want to get castings sooner or give larger feedings, you should get more worms than I did, and I didn't save much with a smaller order, but I don't mind waiting since we're months away from spring and they're more likely to grow in number with more room, and I already compost waste with bokashi, as well.I'm not sure how to use the clear tier, and the instructions don't mention it. Putting it on the top would encourage the worms to go deeper away from the light, but not sure how that helps, unless they're trying to escape? I'm not sure a third tray is really needed anyway. The seller included contact info, so will reach out in the future if they don't maybe respond here.Lastly, I recommend also getting a "succulent cultivator" to help gently move bedding/soil around.

I ordered this product, what a surprise when I opened the box, there was coco coir all over because the bag was opened. This product has only 3 trays, not 4 like advertised. I ended up returning the product.
