Best Composting Worms
I read about someone whose worms were escaping from the compost bin and my first thought was that they were not using the best composting worms. Red Wigglers are the mentioned in just about every article on worm composting as the best worms for getting the job done. They like it dark, so during [...]

Update on the Geckos and the Worms Composter
The geckos are still running around on the porch, but seem to have no interest in the worms or composter. Maybe they just cannot get inside the Worm Factory 360, but either way, all is well. Since I asked the question in a previous post, I thought I better deliver the answer when I found [...]

Worm Bin Composting
Worm bin composting is much easier than I expected… at least so far. I can clearly see worm castings (nutrient-rich compost) in my Worm Factory 360, where there was once food and coir. As I’ve mentioned before, composting with worms was not what I had in mind when I set out to become a home [...]

Worm Compost Bin?

My Worm Factory 360 Has Arrived!
The UPS driver delivered my Worm Factory 360 around 5:30 this afternoon! I have a fairly large Tupperware container full of food scraps waiting patiently in my refrigerator, newspaper and cereal boxes tucked behind a table and a space cleared on my porch. Only thing missing are my Red Wigglers. Not to worry, the worms [...]

The Best Composter for Me
Well, I’ve finally done it! After several months of thinking about it, today I ordered the Worm Factory 360. When I started this search for a composter that would be small enough, simple enough and odor-free enough for my small townhouse, I would never have guessed I would end up with worm bins. But [...]

Geckos and Worm Containers
I’ve been searching the Internet trying to find out if anyone has problems with geckos getting into their worm containers. I think this is my last question before I place the order for my worm composter. There are lizards on my porch all the time, and I know they are always looking for a good [...]
