Worm Composting System Recommendations

Our Recommended Vermicomposting Bins (aka Worm Bins We Love!)

The Urbalive Worm Farm 

This fantastic indoor vermicomposting system, with a 42L capacity (11 gallons), is an eco-friendly solution that can be used at home, in the classroom, or at the office. This high-quality, functional product, designed by the Czech's famous designer, Jiří Pelcl, has received the reddot design award, and it's no wonder why, it's simply beautiful. It comes with trays, other accessories and features FSC hardwood legs, which makes it sturdy and stable. The worm tea is also easy to access. More trays can be added as needed.

Urbalive Compact Worm Farm 

A great solution, with stackable trays and that can even fit under the kitchen sink. This modern, compact design still has a high capacity of over 30L (7.9 gallons)! More trays can be added as needed.

Hungry Bin 

A large system that boasts a 75.7L (20 gallon) capacity with a footprint of 24" x 26". This is a great choice for both indoor and outdoor vermicomposting. Its unique design creates a perfect home for composting worms. The worms are encouraged to move to the surface layer to access fresh food due to the bin's tapered shape that compresses the castings. The compressed castings (which can be easily accessed from a tray that can be unlatched) are largely free of worms and easier to handle. The liquid generated through the systems also drains freely from the bin into the tray provided below, making it simple for you to collect the liquid soil amendment that the bin produces. As this bin is on wheels, it is easy to move the composting system to suitable locations.

Urban Worm Bag (UWB)

This single-compartment, continuous-flow-through (CFT) system offers a lightweight design and highly aerobic vermicomposting environment - helping you process wastes faster and keep your worms healthy. The UWB comes with its own easy-to-assemble stand, a zippered lid, and easy-access opening at the bottom to facilitate your vermicompost harvesting. It is a large capacity system of 113.5L (30 gallons) and a footprint of 26" x 26". This system may require a little more TLC than plastic worm bins - with greater air flow comes greater responsibility, after all - but we feel the added benefits are worth the extra effort.

Worm Hut 

This Canadian-made, fabric CFT system offers great air flow and ample processing volume to help you process more kitchen scraps effectively. This bin doesn't come with its own stand, however, but we provide instructions on how you can build one! The Worm Hut has a 113L (30 gallon) capacity. Excluding the frame, the bag size is 20" x 20".
