7 Best Worm Composting Bins to Turn Food Scraps Into Fertilizer
Best Overall Worm Composting Bin
Urban Worm Bag
Besides being my new favorite insult phrase, the Urban Worm bag is a versatile all-star compost factory. It’s quick to set up and easy to maintain because there are no trays. Just put bedding in the bottom, add food scraps and worms up top and wait a few months. As new food scraps are added, the worms migrate toward the top to feed, leaving their castings below. Then, you’ll release the bottom and harvest the bounty.
This system is called a continuous flow through (CFT), which is popular with commercial worm farms because of its efficiency and simplicity and because you don’t have to disturb the worms while harvesting. Once it’s rolling, it can handle 12 pounds of scraps a week. This bin is made for indoor and outdoor use and comes in a few entertaining patterns. The company also offers accessory bundles for purchase.
