What is worm composting and why is it beneficial?
Worm composting is
an incredibly efficient way to convert kitchen scraps and junk mail
into nutrient-rich compost for your plants and garden with the use
of worms.
To get the most desirable compost for your plants and gardens is
through the use of worms. The worms and bacteria inside them break
down kitchen scraps and junk mail and add enzymes and nutrients to
the compost. Worm composting creates the kind of compost your plants
and gardens will use and thrive off of.
Adding worms to your compost pile helps speed up the composting
process as worms continually eat through the waste.
Worm composting also allows you to create your own compost. Worm
castings and "worm tea" can be expensive. By making your own, you
can have a continuous supply of nutrient-rich compost at a low cost.
Finally, recycling your kitchen scraps and junk mail by worm
composting helps reduce your environmental impact while putting
something beneficial back into the earth.
What is The Worm Factory and how does it work?
The
Worm Factory
is a multi-tray worm composter that helps manage the composting
process.
Fill each stacking tray with food scraps, junk mail and other
household and garden waste. Worms start in the bottom tray and
migrate upward as they break down the waste. This allows worms to
separate themselves from the finished compost making it easy to add
nutrient-rich fertilizer to plants and gardens without sorting
worms.
Additionally, nutrient-rich moisture is captured in the collection
tray and can be drained as liquid fertilizer known as "worm tea".

What are the benefits of using The Worm Factory?
The
Worm Factory is Compact:
With its square design and having the smallest footprint of
all the worm composters,
The
Worm Factory
works great for anyone with space requirements.
The
Worm Factory
uses a tray stacking system which allows it to hold the
largest capacity of compost in the smallest amount of space.
The Worm Factory is Odourless:
The ventilation lid allows proper air flow and the
instruction manual helps you manage
The
Worm Factory correctly
to prevent odour. This means that
The
Worm Factory
can be used year round and can be housed anywhere including
apartments, kitchens, garages, porches, etc.
The Worm Factory is Easy to Manage:
The 16 page instruction manual makes the setup process fast
and easy and gives detailed instructions on how manage the
bin year round. Each tray holds 12.5lbs of compost which
makes lifting and arranging trays effortless. The
ventilation lid also contains a list of composting tips for
quick reference.
The Worm Factory Saves Time:
Let
The
Worm Factory
do the work for you! Instead of spending time turning piles
of compost yourself and removing worms by hand, the
multi-tray system separates the worms from the compost so
you don't have to. Also, because the worms continually eat
through your kitchen scraps and junk mail, nutrient-rich
compost is produced at a faster rate than traditional ways
of composting. This allows you to bring rich dark compost to
your plants and gardens at a faster rate.
