Worm Composting Bin (3-Tray)

The worm bin recommended by Urban Worm Girl is made in the U.S.A. and contains a percentage of post-consumer recycled plastic. It is comprised of 3 stacking trays built to house red worms, paper bedding and your kitchen scraps for composting. Additional trays are easily added if your kitchen scraps exceed the space provided within the 3 trays. Our worm bin also includes a roof that is wind resistant and pet proof.

Roof and Additional Trays

This uniquely designed roof can be added to many other commercial bins. The angled roof design helps to divert wind and allow rain to properly drain off without endangering worms. All the while, this roof allows full air circulation keeping worms strong and healthy. The additional tray sits atop of your working tray to give the worms their next new home. No additional assembly is required.

Red Wiggler Worms

Most worms you may dig up or find in your garden are not "composting" worms. The worms that burrow through your dirt are soil dwellers often referred to as "earthworkers." These commonly seen "earthworkers" perform the important job of mixing our soil, not transforming our waste into a nutrient rich substance. Red Wiggler worms can process (eat) large amounts of organic material, reproduce rapidly, and adapt to various environments. Therefore, Red Wigglers are the worms most recommended for home composting.

Worms are available in several different increments depending on the size of your household as well as the amount of kitchen waste you may have. Choose the amount of worms that best suits your household needs. Just remember these simple facts:

1 pound = approximately 1,000 worms

Worms consume about half of their body weight per day; thus 1 pound of worms eat 1/2 pound per day.

Worms will double their population in approximately 3 months. Over time, with more worms in your bin, you will be able to feed more often and in larger amounts.

The 3-tray worm composting bin can hold roughly 10 pounds of worms at its maximum capacity. Worms will control their reproduction rates and do not need to be removed.

Larger quantities of worms available per additional pound upon request. Please contact us for pricing. 

Coconut Coir Bedding

When added to water, this fiber brick creates a thriving environment for the worms. It retains moisture and mixes well with other beddings such as newspaper, dry leaves, or soil. It has been said that the worms find it quite tasty as well. In addition these bricks are a by-product of the coconut industry and are a more sustainable product than peat moss.
