Tools and Hardware Reviews of Worm Factory DS5GT 5-Tray Worm Composter - Green
Customer Review: So far so good!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a first-time vermicomposter, and I like this worm bin so far. It was very easy to put togther, very sturdy, and the instructions were clear. I just got my worms today, and no escapees so far. I've checked on them a couple times, and they seem fine. I started them off with a hanful of food prep scraps I had been saving in my freezer - broccoli stems, bell pepper, egg shells, thyme sprigs and spinach. I am leaving the light on, as suggested by the manual. Will update after a few weeks. As a first timer, I would recommend this bin b/c it gives you everything you need, including a manual that explains what and how to feed them.
UPDATE: Be sure you get the right species of worms. Otherwise they will leave the bin and die like mine did. My first batch of worms all crawled out and died in various places in my garage. What a mess! The reason my worms were escaping was because I obviously bought the wrong kind of worms. I went to a local bait shop the first go-around. Be sure and order the right kind, even if you get them online! I got my new worms last week and NOT ONE singe worm has fled the worm bin. Do not go to a bait shop b/c they most likely won't know what species you need. I found out that there are over 7000 species of worms, so it pays to do your homework and get the right kind. As far as the worm bin goes. Love it! It is working perfectly. Highly recommend!
Description of Worm Factory DS5GT 5-Tray Worm Composter - Green
Worm composting is an incredibly efficient way to convert kitchen scraps, junk mail and cardboard into nutrient-rich compost for your garden. Master gardeners agree that compost produced by worms will produce the best results and help your plants thrive. The Worm Factory's unique stackable, multi-tray design makes it the most efficient worm bin composter around. Worms begin eating waste in the lowest tray, and then migrate upward as food sources in that tray are exhausted. By allowing worms to migrate upward, the worms separate themselves from the finished compost that is ready for the garden. Besides the worm castings that are produced through this process, the Worm Factory also produces a second type of compost. As waste is broken down, moisture filters through your Worm Factory, taking nutrient-rich particles with it. This liquid fertilizer, know as leachate is gathered in the special collection tray of the Worm Factory and can easily be drained from the spigot. Simply add a handful of worms and your organic waste to the bottom tray. The worms will start processing the food. Once the bottom tray is filled add another tray. The worms migrate upward to the newest food source leaving the bottom tray full of nutrient rich compost. As waste is broken down, moisture filters through the system taking nutrient-rich particles with it. You can drain organic liquid fertilizer right from the spigot. It's compact square design gives the Worm Factory the smallest footprint of all worm composters. The Worm Factory's tray stacking system allows it to hold the largest capacity of compost in the smallest amount of space, making it the perfect composter for anyone with space limitations. The Worm Factory is simple to operate. When full, each tray weighs only 12.5 pounds making lifting and arranging trays effortless. The included 16-page instruction manual makes setup fast and easy and gives tips on how to best manage your Worm Factory composter year-round.Categories Tools
