Worm Factory 360 - 4 Tray Worm Composter (No Worms Included)
Americans throw away 34 million tons of food waste into landfills every year — more than any other type of waste — releasing methane gas 20x more harmful than CO2. The Worm Factory 360 turns that waste into something valuable: rich, nutrient-dense worm compost (vermicompost) that has been proven to contain ten times the nutrients of traditional backyard compost. It takes just 15 minutes a week to manage, fits in an apartment or on a shaded porch, and runs odor-free year-round. We like to call the output black gold.

About This Item:
Americans throw away 34 million tons of food waste into landfills every year — more than any other type of waste — releasing methane gas 20x more harmful than CO2. The Worm Factory 360 turns that waste into something valuable: rich, nutrient-dense worm compost (vermicompost) that has been proven to contain ten times the nutrients of traditional backyard compost. It takes just 15 minutes a week to manage, fits in an apartment or on a shaded porch, and runs odor-free year-round. We like to call the output black gold.
Helps with:
- Diverting kitchen scraps, paper, and cardboard from landfills into nutrient-rich compost
- Producing organic liquid fertilizer and worm castings for healthier plants and bigger harvests
- Composting year-round in small spaces — apartments, porches, kitchens, or outdoors
Size: 18" x 15" x 18" — expandable up to 4 trays
How it works:
- Start with the bottom tray and included bedding. Add 1 lb of composting worms and let them settle for a few days.
- After 2–4 days, begin adding household waste. Worms process and recycle it into fine, nutrient-rich compost.
- When the first tray is full, stack the next tray on top — worms migrate upward as new food is added.
- As waste breaks down, moisture filters through and collects as organic liquid fertilizer, harvested right from the spigot.
What to feed them: Fruits, vegetables, grains, paper, egg shells, leaves, coffee grounds, and more. Avoid dairy, meat, and citrus. Aim for 50% food scraps and 50% fiber/paper for the best compost. Worms can eat roughly half their body weight per day and can survive up to two weeks without feeding — perfect for vacations.
Temperature: Keep bedding between 40–80°F. Worms thrive where you’d feel comfortable.
