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.

Composting with worms allows you to turn kitchen scraps, paper waste and cardboard into nutrient-rich soil for your plants. The Worm Factory® 360 composting system takes the effort out of composting.

With a thermo siphon air flow design, the Worm Factory® 360 increases the composting speed. Now you can produce compost much faster than traditional composting methods. Master Gardeners agree, worm castings are one of the richest forms of fertilizer that you can use.

The Worm Factory® 360 can be used indoors or outdoors allowing year round production. Now composting is no longer limited to backyards. The Worm Factory® 360 is odorless making it great for apartments, kitchens, garages, porches and more.

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. This makes it possible to harvest organic liquid fertilizer right from the spigot.

How it works: *Air enters the base on all four sides.* *Worms burrow through the compost creating air passages.* *Rising heat and compost gases create a Thermo Siphon, pulling the air upwards through the trays.* *Air exits the four sides of the lid* *Allows 10 times more air circulation than similar composters.*

Features: *Year-round production* *Odor free operation* *4 tray system expandable up to 8 trays* *Easy to assemble and manage* *Built in "worm tea" collector tray and spigot for easy draining* *16-page easy-to-use instructional booklet with photos and illustrations* *Quick-Tips lid for easy reference* *Houses 8 to 12 thousand worms that consume 5-8lbs of food per week* *Made with post consumer recycled materials* *Made in the U.S.A.* *20 year warranty on parts and workmanship*

Your Worm Factory® 360 System includes: 4 stacking trays (16" x 16" x 5"), instructional DVD, setup collection base stand, 'Quick-Tips' ventilation lid, spigot, 16 page instruction booklet, worm bedding, coir brick, and accessory kit. No assembly required, just stack the trays. It can be ordered in black, green or terra cotta.

Coir is a great growing medium and worm bedding material, coir is a byproduct of harvesting coconuts. Coir holds moisture and then releases it slowly allowing worms to keep moist. Once the compost enters your plants or garden any coir that comes along with it is great for growing strong root systems. The accessory kit that we include free with your Worm Factory® 360 includes a hand rake to stir your compost and transfer worms, a scraper to help clean trays when rotating, and a color coded thermometer so you can make sure that your Worm Factory® 360 is working at an optimum temperature range.

Free shipping to U.S. address (excluding AK & HI. & APO addresses). (Sorry, we have to exclude AK & HI & APO addresses due to the extremely high shipping costs ($26 per unit) to these states.)

FAQs

What is composting?
Composting is a process by which microorganism, bacteria, mold, yeast, fungus, and protozoa break down the food into simpler compounds by enzyme action, producing 100% natural organic fertilizer. Click here (a new window will open) to read more about vermiculture.

How do worms assist the composting process?
Worms don't eat garbage, they actually eat the microorganisms that decay the food, and in the process speed up composting producing worm castings, perhaps the best organic fertilizer for house plants, potted plants or gardens.

How does the Worm Factory® 360 self sorting upward migration system work?
Worms are placed in a tray along with bedding, a combination of fiber and food. The second tray of bedding is placed on top of the first tray. As the worms finish digesting the food in the first tray, they naturally seek more and migrate upward into the next tray. Continue adding trays and feeding the worms from the top. Most of your worms will leave the bottom bin, which is then emptied into the garden and rotated to the top of your Worm Factory.

How long does it take to get the system going?
In full operation the Worm Factory® 360 will house up to 12,000 worms. They will consume 5 to 8 pounds of food a week, allowing you to harvest a full tray of castings each month. It will take 6 to 9 months to reach this level.

What does the Worm Factory® 360 kit include?
Each Worm Factory® 360 comes with a 16 page detailed instruction booklet, 4 trays, a base with spigot, 'quick tips' lid, an accessory tool kit and the basic ingredients needed to create a bed in which your worms (sold separately) will flourish.

Where do I buy worms?
You may buy worms locally or order them through the Yelm Worm Farm (www.yelmworms.com).

What kind of worms should I use?
Not all worms are compatible with the Worm Factory® 360. Red Wigglers are highly recommended.

How much food do worms eat?
In a healthy worm bin, one pound of worms will consume one pound of food (50% kitchen scraps and 50% fiber) a day.

Can I keep my Worm Factory® 360 outside?
Red Wiggler composting worms tolerate temperatures from 45 F to 85 F. They will not work in direct light and should be kept in a cool, covered area. In northern climates they should be kept inside when the temperature falls below freezing.

Will my Worm Factory® 360 attract insects?
Most worm bins have some problems with pests. Our instructions include several practical ways to reduce or eliminate them all together.
