What is the optimal environment for worms and finished compost?

Feed your worms about 50% food scraps and 50% fiber and paper to create the optimal environment for worms and finished compost.

What kind of items should be avoided while adding household waste to the Worm Factory 360?

Avoid adding diary, meat, and citrus items in the Worm Factory 360 as these can be harmful to the worms and are difficult to compost.

How often should I feed the worms?

You can feed the worms every day or a few times in a week in the Worm Factory 360. But the general rule of thumb is worms can eat about a handful a week.

How do you keep from getting fruit flies? Can you put no fruit at all in the box?

Covering everything with a layer of compost works great and could have some food value for the worms. Most people don't use enough bedding.

Do the worms produce more worms?

Yes, they typically produce about as much or as fast as they die off. Some users have reported a growing colony of worms.

I have had my worm factory set up since Jan. and have yet to see anything collecting in the jar under the spigot. Do I need to add water? When can I expect to use the compost?

The spigot is for excess moisture. The compost should be ready in about 4 months. Adding water will dilute the worm castings and harm the worms.

Are the worms ordered separately?

Yes, worms can be ordered from Uncle Jim's worm farm or local worm farms.

Is this suitable for an office?

It depends on the office and whether there will be enough food scraps to feed the worms. There may be a slight smell that some people may not like. The worm factory requires regular monitoring to maintain the right conditions for the worms.

Does the bins rest on the contents of the lower bins? Doesn't that smush the worms?

Yes, the bins rest on the contents, but it does not harm the worms. Additional trays may be needed if the worms cannot keep up with the waste.

How many worms should you start with?

It is recommended to start small, and then increase the number as needed. 100 worms may be sufficient for a household with 2 people and moderate food waste.

Can I put grass clippings and leaves in this?

Grass clippings are not recommended as they can heat up the compost too much for the worms. Leaves are a good addition and the worms seem to like them.

What if the outside temperature goes below freezing?

The worms will freeze below 32 degrees F, so they should be brought indoors to a comfortable temperature.

The compost in our tray is getting wetter but the 'worm tea' isn't going down to the faucet. What's wrong?

The 'worm tea' may come out slowly and in small amounts. It is best to rely on the compost rather than the tea. The worms will move to the next tray as the compost is processed.

Worm composting uses worms to do the work of breaking down waste and is more efficient and easier to manage than a traditional backyard compost pile.

Product Details

US made with durable high quality plastic. Houses thousands of worms that can consume several pounds of waste each week. Compact and expandable.
The Worm Factory 360 has a standard 4-Tray size which is expandable up to 6 trays when following the directions, giving it the largest volume of any home vermicomposter.
Each tray has a grid bottom for worms to migrate upward as new food is added. As each tray is filled another is added to the top, when the bottom tray is harvested it becomes the top creating a continuous loop system.
The worms will process food waste into fine compost full of nutrients. Worms can eat about half their weight in food per day. If you start with 1/2 lb of worms they can eat a 1/4 lb of food per day. Gradually increase as the size of your community grows.
