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".


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 Odorless:
The ventilation lid allows proper air flow and the instruction manual helps you manage The Worm Factory® correctly to prevent odor. 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 12.5 lbs. 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. In full operation, the Worm Factory® houses 6,000 worms, consumes 5 to 8 lbs. of food a week, allowing you to harvest a full tray of nutrient rich castings every month.This allows you to bring rich dark compost to your plants and gardens at a faster rate.

    During the winter time, I don't want to walk outside to our regular composter! I will keep the worm composter in the basement all winter, and outside in the shade as soon as it warms up. You can never have enough compost!!

      Once my worms start producing offspring, i would like to use extra for fishing. The worm casting will be used for my vegetables and worm tea will be a great fertilizer. I eat plenty of veggies so i will have no problems eating them food they love. so excited for my worms

        Comments about The Worm Factory® 3-Tray Worm Composter - Terra Cotta:

        This is a great worm com poster once you get it established. The first tray can be frustrating since worms tend to burrow down to the "worm tea"/leachate collector, even with the four sheets of newspaper lining the bottom. I found myself the first couple of weeks constantly pulling live and dead worms from the collector. It is important to drain the tea everyday as worms can drown in the tea creating a smelly mess. The drain design prevents complete drain of the tea, but the majority does drain. After being fed up with worms I went ahead and started a second tray to see if worms were less enticed with the collector. This worked well and I am now a couple of days into my third tray and no worms in the collector!

        My last comment is that I wished I had just spent the money up front and bought the five level system. I am now a three weeks into using the system and will need to buy at least two maybe three trays. I have a family of five that produces a fair amount of vegetable scraps and coffee grounds.

        Customer Q & A

        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.
