With Worms Why the Worm Factory® 360? Americans throw away 34
million tons of food waste into landfills each year, more than
any other type of waste (www.EPA.gov). While traditional
backyard composting has its place, the process can take up to two
years and rotating it can become a chore. Worm composting uses
worms to do the work of breaking down waste and is more efficient
and easier to manage than a traditional backyard compost pile. In
addition, its compact design makes it perfect for use in any
household. Worm composting makes it easy to recycle kitchen
scraps, paper waste and cardboard into ent-rich fertilizer
for your s, creating a more sustainable lifestyle by
recycling and improving soil quality. The Worm Factory 360
houses thousands of composting worms in a compact space. These
worms work 24/7 to efficiently produce highly beneficial, rich
compost packed with microbes and water soluble ents.
This eliminates all the work of traditional composting and yields
a much more valuable end product. Worm compost has been proven to
have ten times the ents of traditional backyard compost.Â
The more ents that are available to your s, the larger
they grow and the more bountiful your harvest is. This system
allows you to enjoy vegetables, fruits, and flowers grown
with the help of your kitchen scraps. At a Glance The Worm
Factory 360 is simple to set up and operate. Managing your Worm
Factory 360 takes less than 15 minutes a week. Included with each
Worm Factory 360 are a comprehensive instruction guide and DVD
that make setup easy and give detailed tips on how to best manage
your new Worm Factory 360 year-round. Start with just the bottom
tray and bedding material included. Add 1/2lb of composting worms
and start filling the tray with household waste. The worms will
process and recycle the waste into fine compost full of
ents. When the first tray is full, stack another on top.
Each tray has a grid bottom, so worms migrate upward as new food
is added. As waste is broken down, moisture filters through the
system, taking ent-rich particles with it. This makes it
possible to harvest liquid fertilizer right from the
spigot. Adding Food &Waste Adding household waste to the Worm
Factory 360 is easy; just open the lid and toss the food in.
Fruits, vegetables, grains, paper, egg shells, leaves, coffee
grounds and more can be added. Three foods to avoid are diary,
meat, and citrus items; these can be harmful to the worms and are
difficult to compost. Feed your worms about 50% food scraps and
50% fiber and paper. This creates the optimal environment for
worms and finished compost. The goal is to recycle what you
usually throw away. Don't worry about feeding your worms every
day. Some people feed them a handful a week; some people feed
them a handful a day. The general rule of thumb is worms can eat
about half their weightin food per day. This means that if you
start with 1 lb of worms, they can eat a half pound of food per
day. Worms can survive up to two weeks without any additional
food. Just feed them a bit extra before going on long vacations.
In a y environment composting worms will maintain their
population without over or under populating. It is important to
note that worms are living creatures, and cannot tolerate extreme
temperatures. Keep the Worm Factory 360 so that the bedding
remains between 40 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit, or where you would
personally feel comfortable. The Worm Factory 360 is expandable
vertically, allowing a high compost capacity while maintaining a
very small footprint. When full, each tray weighs 12.5 pounds,
making lifting and arranging trays effortless. ****Need Worms?

Odorless Year-Round Operation
-----------------------------
Your waste production isn't seasonal and your composting efforts
shouldn't be either! Composting is no longer limited to the warm
months. The Worm Factory 360 can be used indoors or outdoors,
allowing year round operation. When managed correctly, the Worm
Factory 360 is odorless, making it the perfect com for
apartments, kitchens, condos, garages, porches and more! Because
of its unique design, the Worm Factory 360 allows oxygen to flow
through the system, discouraging stinky garbage odors.

cannot tolerate extreme temperatures. Keep the Worm Factory 360

trays effortless.
The Worm Composting Cycle
-------------------------
Your first tray will take about three months to become fully
composted by the worms. After the first tray is composted the
other trays can take as little as a month depending on the waste
added. Once you harvest your finished compost from the bottom
tray, you will have an empty tray to stack on top again.
The ent-rich finished compost can be used in your garden,
raised beds, container gardens, or on houses. Even if you're
not a gardener, the Worm Factory 360 helps you reduce your impact
and provides an alternative to throwing your waste into the
landfill. Worm compost not only adds vital ents to your
soil, it also conditions the soil to hold water longer, prevent
disease, and promote y root growth.
Take one step in the green direction with the Worm Factory 360
