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.
