Know before you buy
Unlike traditional bins that require you to manually spread finished compost, this unit is installed directly into your garden bed. It allows worms to migrate in and out of the soil, delivering nutrients and aeration exactly where your plant roots need them most.
Installation is straightforward: simply dig a hole approximately 11 inches deep, place the unit inside, and backfill the surrounding soil. Ensure the lid remains accessible above the surface for easy waste disposal.
It is best to stick to fruit and vegetable scraps, coffee grounds, and tea bags. Avoid adding meat, dairy, oils, or heavily processed foods, as these can attract pests and disrupt the balance of your worm colony.
While the composter is designed for efficient waste breakdown, it is not fully pest-proof. Because it features ventilation holes to allow for airflow, we recommend burying it securely and ensuring the lid is always tightly closed to minimize unwanted visitors.
This model features a bottom harvest design, allowing the nutrient-rich castings to integrate directly into the surrounding soil. You do not need to manually remove the compost; the worms and natural soil movement handle the distribution for you.
It works best in well-draining soil. If your garden has heavy clay, you may want to mix in some organic matter or sand around the installation site to ensure the worms can move freely between the composter and the surrounding earth.
