Review: Great vermiculture setup - Wanted to try my hand at this and took a chance on this item. Upon arrival, the bottom liquid catching part had a massive crack due to shipping and was unusable. I contacted Vermitek directly and they responded within 24 hours that a new part will be shipped and arrive within the week. It was and now we have everything setup. It was an easy set up for the most part. The instructions were a little confusing due to diagram and all items included were not labeled on instructions. There were bonus items I'm still not sure of their purpose. However, it was genuinely nice they included these hidden surprises. The one design opportunity I think is the bottom tray and guard board do not have a more secure lock in to each other and the bottom feeding tray. I think some sort of tray guard rail would help instead of being flush. While there are cheaper variants out there, I decided to buy this one as it appears to be a legitimate business attempt at a product and not a knockoff trying to cash in. The value has been great overall and the customer support was fantastic. The size is suitable for a small operation with opportunity to grow. I would definitely recommend.
Review: Great inside composter - This composter is very easy to assemble. You basically attach a spout and layer the different parts. Add worms, dirt, food, and cardboard. I started with 1000 worms from Uncle Jim, which is 1 pound of worms (compost about .5 lb per day) definitely recommed purchasing worms from them. I followed the instructions that came with the kit, and day 3 I had worms slithering on my laundry room floor every time I checked on them. After more research, I think either 1) their exceptionally traumatic ride through the mail (y'all, I've never seen a box so crunched, they had to tape it together, covering the airholes) meant they needed a little longer than average to settle, 2) my washer and dryer vibrations freaked them out (laundry day...family of 4), or 3) soil slightly dryer than it should have been. I blended some food for them, adding some watermelon to their smoothie, and they seem very happy! There is a YouTube video mentioned in a another review here that uses this composter, and he uses a layering system. During the phase when my worms were escaping out of the bottom using the method described in the user manual, I decided to mimic his bottom layer, having shredded cardboard and newspaper below the worms (this tray and it's contents will eventually become a new top tray). I think layer may also help keep the worms from escaping out of the bottom. Definitely recommed watching his videos. As mentioned, I keep my composter inside my laundry room (I live in the south, they'd die in our heat). It isn't odorless, but it isn't a terrible odor, kinda smells like damp dirt with a tough of sweetness. I'm okay with this in my laundry room, but I don't think I'd have it in my kitchen or anywhere close to where we spend a lot of time, or anywhere guests would be. Side note, my kids love these little guys. My 4yo said they are the best pets because they don't bite or scratch. My 8yo loves making smoothies in the blender using our scraps (not necessary, but it makes it easier for the worms to eat). I'm looking forward to using the worm castings for the garden, especially since the wild critter keep chowing down on my compost pile to the point of having very little compost to use in my garden. Definitely recommed this product!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Once the worms make it to the top do you reuse them and put them back in the bottom tray or do you get new worms?**
A: Of course, you can reuse them.  Normally, when most of the worm go to the top trays, the bottom tray has very few worms.  Then you can harvest the casting at the very bottom tray.  After you harvest the bottom tray and clean it, you can put it on the top as a top tray.  At this time , the original 2nd bottom becomes the very bottom tray.   You leave the worms in the system, and they will still stay, live and compost in the system.

**Q: How many red worms do you need to order for this product?**
A: To begin with, we suggest starting with 1000 pcs or 1 lbs of red worms.  
Please feel free to let us know if you have more questions.

Thanks.

**Q: Can you use nightcrawlers instead of red wigglers?**
A: Red Wigglers are called compost worms. They feed on scraps buried in soil. Scraps buried prevent things like fruit flys. They also re-produce faster than nightcrawlers. Night Crawlers are top feeders. I would stick to using Night Crawlers for fish bait.

**Q: What are the dimensions of the worm farm?**
A: Each tray is 17"x17"x5".  The volume is the same as the ones in the market such as the worm factory and the original VermiHut.  When all 5 trays are stacked, it is about 33" including the base.  We make the VermiHut Plus tray wider and little bit shorter so that it has less pressure and more area for air-flow.  The VermiHut Plus design is an improvement compared to the original VermiHut and the Worm Factory.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Wigglers love it!
*by E***E on April 5, 2024*

This worm bin is well designed and made. The components fit together very well so no worms escape. The lid is easy open, easy close so I can check on the little guys or open it up to feed them with no effort. And no smell, which I appreciate. The instructions are thorough, and Vermitek customer support is very responsive and helpful. If you're on the fence about this worm bin just jump down and get one! I've gotten 1 batch of castings so far and I plan to add more worms to get production really going.
