Worm composting is an incredibly efficient way to convert kitchen scraps, junk mail and cardboard into nutrient-rich compost for your garden. Master gardeners agree that compost produced by worms will produce the best results and help your plants thrive. The Worm Factory's unique stackable, multi-tray design makes it the most efficient worm bin composter around. Worms begin eating waste in the lowest tray, and then migrate upward as food sources in that tray are exhausted. By allowing worms to migrate upward, the worms separate themselves from the finished compost that is ready for the garden. Besides the worm castings that are produced through this process, the Worm Factory also produces a second type of compost. As waste is broken down, moisture filters through your Worm Factory, taking nutrient-rich particles with it. This liquid fertilizer, know as leachate is gathered in the special collection tray of the Worm Factory and can easily be drained from the spigot. Simply add a handful of worms and your organic waste to the bottom tray. The worms will start processing the food. Once the bottom tray is filled add another tray. The worms migrate upward to the newest food source leaving the bottom tray full of nutrient rich compost. As waste is broken down, moisture filters through the system taking nutrient-rich particles with it. You can drain organic liquid fertilizer right from the spigot. It's compact square design gives the Worm Factory the smallest footprint of all worm composters. The Worm Factory's tray stacking system allows it to hold the largest capacity of compost in the smallest amount of space, making it the perfect composter for anyone with space limitations. The Worm Factory is simple to operate. When full, each tray weighs only 12.5 pounds making lifting and arranging trays effortless. The included 16-page instruction manual makes setup fast and easy and gives tips on how to best manage your Worm Factory composter year-round.

Guide to Using a Compost Tumbler

!±8± Guide to Using a Compost Tumbler

Compost tumblers have been around since gardeners learned to appreciate the importance of compost and the necessity to put air into. Before, aerating requires a shovel and lots handwork. With the help of tumblers, turning and aerating is a breeze. So how do you speed up the composting process of your organic materials by using tumblers?

The first thing to do is put up the tumbler and installs it in a solid, leveled surface, be it on pavers, bricks, or concrete pads. This helps in securing the device so as to avoid spillage and unnecessary skipping of odor.

Second, gather and prepare all your organic. Preparation includes separating the green from the brown. Green materials include those that are rich in nitrogen like grass clippings, manure, garden refuse, tea, coffee grounds, and hair. Brown materials are those rich in carbon like woody branches, sawdust, straw, fall leaves, dried grass, and paper. You may also need to shred or chip the items, you can use shredder or chipper.

Third, put all the materials onto the tumbler with the right ratio. The most ideal is fifty percent green materials and fifty percent brown materials. A balance of these materials will get rid of unpleasant odor. If imbalance in materials takes place, an ammoniac odor occurs; this is caused by the building up of nitrogen. Too much of the green materials then is not good.

You can counter the odor by adding dried leaves, pine needles, and wood ash.

Fourth, cover the materials with water until sponge-like dampness is achieved. And finally, close the unit and use the tumbler according to its instructions. The best way to achieve good compost under little time is to rotate the device at least three times a week. Instructions vary from product to product. The fastest you can probably get is 14 days.
