What is The Worm Factory® 3-Tray Worm Composter - Terra Cotta 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 kitchen scraps such as newspaper, junk mail, vegetables, fruits, egg shells, coffee grounds, paper, and cardboard into nutrient-rich compost for your garden. Most "Master Gardeners" consider worm castings to be the very best compost available. Your plants will thrive with this all-natural compost. Sorting out the undigested scraps can be a messy, inconvenient chore with ordinary worm composters.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".

Comments about The Worm Factory® 3-Tray Worm Composter - Terra Cotta:
My Worm Factory arrived in a really timely manner and the instructions for setting it up were very easy. It is currently sitting in the corner of my kitchen but since I live in Southern California I will be moving it outside. I can't wait until my worm start producing. I really like the terra cotta color.

Comments about The Worm Factory® 3-Tray Worm Composter - Terra Cotta:
Looking forward to actually seeing if this works better than the worm composter I designed which was not as attractive and did not work well after the first consumption of compost. {The worms had no place to go.)
This one is very attractive and matches the terra cotta tile in the kitchen. It has an Asian look which I like. Now I'm anxious to see how if it works as good as it looks and doesn't attract ants or create odors.

Q1: How many worms do I need to purchase with the cascade compost bin?
A: You should purchase about 1,000 worms to start your composter. After this initial purchase, the worm count will double every three months!
Q2: I ordered worms from you and they have arrived before my composter. What should I do with the worms until I get the compost bin?
A: The worms can last up to ten days in the packaging they arrived in. (Not the best, but they will last) Give them some water when they arrive.
If you're afraid they won't make it, you can make a temporary home for them instead. Put the worms into a plastic container about the size of a shoe box or bucket. Put some shredded black and white newsprint in the bottom that has been moistened (about the amount of a rung out sponge). This will act as food and bedding until your compost bin arrives and they can be placed into their new permanent home.
