Arcadia Garden Products Worm Nerd WN55 4-Tray Worm Composting Bin Kit with Coco Coir Brick for Recycling Food Waste, Worm Castings, Worm Tea, Vermiculture and Vermicomposting, Tan

The media could not be loaded. I recently purchased a Worm Nerd vermicomposting bin and have been immensely pleased with it as an addition to my greenhouse and garden. I'll start by saying the bin is incredibly well-made, easy to assemble, and keeps my worms very happy. It comes with 2 more stackable trays that hold a heaping amount of castings. Pretty nifty built-in aeration system beneath to ensure that the compost never gets overly wet or too dry, the drain holes make it easy to manage excess moisture, plus you have a tap and can collect the worm juice to feed houseplants or veggies. The plastic is also TOUGH, durable enough to keep out any pests or critters, which I have had issues with in other bins. Overall, this is an excellent product and has made vermicomposting a breeze, even my girlfriends 10 year old soon loves to help tend to the worms. Highly recommend! 🪱

Very easy to put together and no leaks or issues.I put divided cardboard along the bottom instead of newspaper (don't have that, just circulars with lots of ink) and mixed half of the included coco coir (which was loose in a bag and not as a brick as stated) with equal amount moist shredded paper and drizzled about a tablespoon of ground egg shell and oats (from coffee grinder) and let that sit for a couple days before a small order of 50 worms arrived. I lightly spread them around and covered with dry shredded paper to near the top of the tray. I made sure the lid closed tightly and that was two weeks ago and none have crawled out the top or drowned in the bottom tray, and I saw a few when I last buried a small (2 tbsp) feeding. I thought I might have prepped it a little dry, but there was a decent amount of fairly clear water in the bottom tray later when I checked and the spout worked well to drain most of it out. No odor at all, but I haven't put much actual kitchen scraps in yet.If you want to get castings sooner or give larger feedings, you should get more worms than I did, and I didn't save much with a smaller order, but I don't mind waiting since we're months away from spring and they're more likely to grow in number with more room, and I already compost waste with bokashi, as well.I'm not sure how to use the clear tier, and the instructions don't mention it. Putting it on the top would encourage the worms to go deeper away from the light, but not sure how that helps, unless they're trying to escape? I'm not sure a third tray is really needed anyway. The seller included contact info, so will reach out in the future if they don't maybe respond here.Lastly, I recommend also getting a "succulent cultivator" to help gently move bedding/soil around.

Quality is great - but the size turns out to be way too small for my composting volume. I wish it had more trays to expand the size and capability.

Sturdy enough plastic but Top warps so you need to place something heavy to keep the lid down. Water/rain gets into the bottom easily. Worms drowned because I want careful to drain it in time. I also found the directions a little confusing about when to add the next tray, otherwise easy to follow.

I have fertilizer on tap in my garage! The plants really love it! It is convenient for me to put the compost scraps in here instead of going out to the yard. The fertilizer smells very strong when you drain it from the tap, otherwise there is no odor I have detected outside the unit. The worms seem to like it ok. They don’t try to escape it, which I have seen worms do in flowerpots etc.

My worms are thriving in this.

The size is perfect for a kitchen countertop. The color is perfect for my kitchen. The only thing was the coconut coir was missing. Good thing I have some peet moss in my garden and just used that.

Im a complete beginner and decided to start vermicomposting at home. Ive had this bin for a couple of months now and my worms love it. They are even laying eggs😍. Im so happy everything is turning out good for now. i also added a mesh on the first tray so they dont get to the bottom tray (where liquid is collected).

This composter does the job for around 2 people. I cannot put all the scraps for the entire family since it would be too much to feed for one week. What I do is put some of the kitchen waste in the compost and others in the city compost bin. This is my winter bin to keep some worm alive when it is -30degree Celsius outside. During summer I have a bigger one outside that holds all the waste.For what I can put in it does the job really well and the worms are happy.One drawback is that the worms falls in the bottom bin , then every few days I need to put the worm back on the top ( as per documentation) . This mostly happens when you start your first bin. Happens less with 2 bins.

I ordered this product, what a surprise when I opened the box, there was coco coir all over because the bag was opened. This product has only 3 trays, not 4 like advertised. I ended up returning the product.
