Urban Worm Bag Worm Composting Bin Version 2 for 2021 with Fully Removable Bottom - No Zippers on Bottom and No Need to Manually Sort Worms from Compost

Having embarked on my vermicomposting journey about six months ago, I'm really glad I chose the Urban Worm Bag Worm Composting Bin Version 2 as my starting point. For a novice like me, it's proven to be a remarkably forgiving introduction to the world of worm composting. There's definitely a learning curve with vermicomposting, but this product has been accommodating and rewarding. One of its best features is the odor control. Even when I've mistakenly added less-than-pleasant-smelling items, the bag contains the smell effectively until the worms work their magic. I've been keeping it in the basement, which seems ideal for maintaining the right environment. I suspect managing this setup outdoors might be more challenging. Set-up was straightforward, and the bin's design is impressively sturdy. As for the worms escaping – a concern I've heard from others – I haven't had any issues, even with a(n unexpected) majority of Perionyx excavatus (Indian blue) worms in my batch. Proper setup and ensuring the zipper and bottom are securely closed seem sufficient to keep them contained. I've completed one small harvest so far (around 3 and a half months in) and decided to wait longer for future harvests to accumulate more compost. The quality of the compost was excellent, much to the delight of my plants. Harvesting was fairly easy, even alone, though I recommend gloves and a plastic sheet or tarp under the workspace since it involves some digging to get the compost out. For a family of five like ours, with a sizeable vegetable garden, multiple bins would be needed to manage all our compostable waste – think vegetable scraps, coffee grounds, fruit, and plant waste. While our chickens handle the bulk of it, the worms are a fun addition and make a noticeable difference. If nothing else, nature is pretty cool and getting to be part of a little piece of nature year round has been good.

I had seen this on a lot of American YouTubers videos and wasn't sure if it was sold in the UK but very much wanted one. I should have known that good old Amazon would have them. I was drawn to the idea of the simplicity of continuous flow worm farming and the compact design of the bag. I've been using a worm tower for about 18 months but found it a bit of a faff. Rotating the trays and the weight of the individual trays had become difficult due to health issues and took what seemed like forever to do to get castings plus the population of worms was increasing to the point that I had needed to use plastic storage boxes to house the overflow. After watching several worm farmers successfully use the worm bag and get good castings after a couple of months while never having to lift or move anything seemed like the perfect solution. I was surprised at how compact the box was when it arrived the day after ordering and on opening I was impressed at the quality of all the pieces. It comes with a helpful instruction booklet and there are many YouTube videos you can watch also on how to put together and use. It took me about 15 minutes to build on my own and although it's much bigger than a worm tower (about 4 times) it's still a compact design for a continuous flow system. I have mine in my conservatory as they are not suitable for outdoor UK weather but if you have a small house it would take up a lot of floor space and you might do better with a tower system. The worm bag has been running for a couple of weeks now and I'm really impressed with how easy it is to add bedding and scraps to. The worms seem to love it in there and make short work of whatever I add. I'm not expecting to get a usable harvest until next year and I have seen that a lot of people's first harvest can be full of unfinished stuff and worms but they just put most of it back in the top and the next harvest is proper castings because it is then running in top conditions with both microbial and worm activity in full swing. I'll finish off my waffling by saying that I would definitely recommend buying this wonderful piece of kit. It is well made and well thought out and I much more enjoy the process of creating goodness to add to my garden and allotment in this way. Top product!

The big surprise is the size. It doesn’t look too big and then you put in 1000 worms and some bedding and it barely covers the bottom. It seems to breathe well so the whole thing doesn’t get manky.

Es muy práctico y muy resistente!!
