Customer Review: The best worm bin EVER
Summary: 5 Stars
Many companies have tried to copy the Can-O-Worms, but none can compare with the Genuine Article. The secret to it's success is surface area, pure and simple. Most of the knock-offs employ a smaller square design which limits the surface area of food. Composting worms feed very close to the surface, so "more surface area" = "faster composting". I have a family of 5 and we eat a lot of fresh fruit and veggies. This leaves us with a LOT of waste in the form of peels, rinds, cores, stalks etc. The Can-O-Worms, with it's SUPERIOR amount of surface area, keeps up with our food waste easily. The downside, depending on where you plan on putting the unit, is space... it takes up a lot of space compared with the smaller square designs. If you'll have your bin in the basement or outside, definitely go with the Can-O-Worms. If you are looking for something that can sit (relatively) unobtrusive in your kitchen, stay away from this one and go with one of the smaller knock-offs.
Description of Can-O-Worms
Turn your organic kitchen waste into useful, nutrient-rich compost! The Can-O-Worms vermicomposter has a multi-level design that's easy to assemble and easy to use. The Can-O-Worms can be used indoors or out, and it's easy to set up. Start with moist bedding (anything from shredded newspaper to peat moss, but not manure or soil), some non-fatty organic kitchen waste (too much fat and protein can smell and attract rodents), and some red wiggler worms (who digest the waste and bedding, leaving behind nutrient rich castings), and within a few months, you will have a large amount of compost that improves soil structure and aeration and promotes healthy root development. Generally, one pound of worms can take care of a half-pound of kitchen and garden waste. It is not recommended that you use fruit or citrus in your Can-O-Worms, as the peels tend to last longer and develop an odor. After your Can-O-Worms has been established, you might notice the presence of other bugs, such as millipedes and pill bugs. Don't worry - these bugs aid in the breakdown process! If you are allergic to molds and mildew, you should probably keep your Can-O-Worms outside. Molds occur naturally in compost bins and aid in composting. Red wigglers are temperature sensitive, so do not let your bin get below freezing or above 84 degrees Fahrenheit. Every Can-O-Worms is made of 100 percent recycled materials. Dimensions: 29in tall, 19 1/4 in diameter. Can hold up to 20,000 worms in 3 layers.Lawn & Landscaping
