If you weren’t familiar with the Worm Factory, would you really think this was a worm compost bin? Okay, it may not be the best looking piece of patio furniture, but tucked in a corner, it’s not bad. I’ve put the three bins that I am not yet using upside down on top of the Worm Factory 360 (per its design), but you could put them away and reduce the height by several inches if you wanted.

After three days, I can also say that there is no odor or noise coming from the bins! I think there is something going on in there, but as a newbie, I don’t know for sure that everything is as it should be. When I rake the pile a little, I see a few worms moving around, but not too many crawling around in the food waste. I know they came packed in something that could either be worm castings or else something they will surely eat. There was also the coir that came with the Worm Factory and I believe they will eat that, plus there is a lot of shredded newspaper in there. So I don’t know really know if or what they are eating at the moment, but am hoping that we’re on the right track.
