I’ve been using the Worm Factory 360 for about a year and a half now. I got it mainly to use as a means of reducing waste that I sent to the landfill. The resulting compost/worm castings are great for using in the garden and on flower beds. Since starting the Worm Factory, I’ve also started a regular compost pile in my back yard, and I’ve just started a “lasagna” compost bed where my garden is going to be next year. There is no reason to send kitchen scraps and yard waste to the landfill when you can use them to create excellent fertilizer for your lawn and garden. This article is about setting up the Worm Factory 360 to get started with vermicomposting.

The Worm Factory 360 vermicomposting system makes composting accessible, even to people with little space. Though initially setting up a worm bin may seem daunting, this system is easy to set up and maintain by following these simple guidelines.

How to Set up the Worm Factory 360 Vermicomposting System: Getting Started With Worm Composting

The worm factory 360 is a vermicomposting system consisting of stackable trays, which makes indoor vermicomposting easy for anyone, even people with little space. This stackable vermicomposting system makes it simple to create and harvest vermicompost in your home. With traditional one-compartment vermicomposting bins, it is difficult to sort the worms and in-process compost material from the finished compost material. With this stackable worm bin, the worms migrate upward toward new food materials, and away from the finished compost, making harvesting the finished vermicompost easy. This nutrient-rich organic compost can be used on house plants or in your garden. Because the system allows new trays to be stacked on top of each other, this system also takes up little space, allowing anyone to begin composting in their home. If properly set up and maintained, the Worm Factory 360 does not smell bad, even when kept indoors. Even people living in city apartments or houses in the suburbs can compost at home and reduce the amount of trash they are sending to the landfill using this method.
