The Worm Factory has a unique design which makes us much different from other upward migrating worm composters and here is why:

Expandable and Manageable: The Worm Factory is expandable allowing for multiple trays to be stack on top of each other. As the compost shrinks, the trays shrink along with it allowing effortless, upward migration for the worms. The Worm Factory is also more manageable than other composters. Compared to the Can-o-worms trays that hold about 22.5lbs of compost, The Worm Factory’s trays hold about 12.5lb of compost which make them easy to lift and restack for people young and old.

Ventilation Lid : Some composters come with tight fitting lids. As compost processes, both gas and heat are given off which must be ventilated. If poorly ventilated, gas and heat build up and water is formed. With increased moisture in the bedding, the amount of oxygen is depleted. This fosters a chain reaction of anaerobic bacteria which creates more gas, giving off an obnoxious smell of rotten eggs.  With The Worm Factory’s unrestricting lid, the loose fit provides maximum ventilation for air flow to get the good bacteria for your worms and to prevent that rotten egg smell. There are also composting tips printed on the lid for a quick reference.

Worm Factory Tips : To operate an odorless worm composter at its maximum efficiency, the bedding and food must have a controlled amount of moisture and the maximum amount of air. This combination fosters aerobic bacteria, the essential, most basic, single element which worms consume.
