Worm composting is an incredibly efficient way to convert kitchen scraps into nutrient-rich compost for your garden. But sorting out the undigested scraps can be messy and inconvenient. The Expandable Worm Tower automatically separates food scraps from finished compost. Simply fill the bottom tray with red wriggler composting worms, bedding and food scraps. As these top feeding worms finish digesting, they will naturally seek more food and migrate upward into the tray above which has newly added goodies, leaving rich castings behind. By continually adding new food trays at the top, and emptying the bottom tray's vermicompost into the garden, you will insure a constant supply of castings. Pictured - 3 Tray System.

In full operation, and under optimum conditions,  the Worm Tower can house 8,000 to 12,000 worms and can consume 5  to 8 pounds of food per week, allowing you to harvest a full tray of castings per month. Each Worm Tower comes with full instructions and everything you need to get started (except worms and food scraps, of course). The Worm Tower is made in the U.S.A., constructed from high quality recycled plastic, with a limited 5 year warranty on materials and workmanship. It is very simple to assemble.

How It Works.  The Worm Tower's self sorting upward migration system work like a charm. Worms are placed in a tray along with bedding (a combination of fiber and food). The second tray of bedding is placed on top of the first tray. As the worms finish digesting the food in the first tray, they naturally seek more, and migrate upward into the next tray. If you continue to add trays and feed the worms from the top, most of your worms will leave the bottom bin, which is then emptied into the garden and rotated to the top of your Worm Tower.

In a healthy worm bin, one pound of worms will consume one pound of food (50% kitchen scraps and 50% fiber) a day. In full operation, a 3-tray Worm Tower (pictured above)  can house 8-12 thousand worms. Under optimum conditions they can consume 5 to 8 pounds of food a week, allowing you to harvest a full tray of castings per month. It will take around 6 to 9 months to reach this level. Each Worm Tower comes with detailed instructions and the basic ingredients needed to create a bed in which your redworms will flourish.
