The Essential Living Composter (2-Tray) Worm Vermicomposter
Best compact system for home composting beginners.
The Essential Living Composter is the 3rd generation of worm composters created by FCMP Outdoor. Building on the success of the original "Classic" Living Composter, this model offers all the same design features at a budget-friendly price. It includes a moisture control water retention channel around each tray and 52 angled tunnels for worm migration. Support points raise the trays for 360-degree airflow. The collected liquid, known as worm tea, is an excellent fertilizer. The composter minimizes odor, allowing for indoor use year-round. Constructed from BPA-free, UV-inhibited, recycled polypropylene, it is contact-safe and durable outdoors. Worms are not included.
