Product Review: Plus 5-Tray Worm Compost Bin – Easy Setup and Sustainable Design
We are the original developer of the VermiHut Plus worm compost bin. Lately, a Chinese financed company cloned our design and made the black color. Please support the American design and say "No" to the theft!
The VermiHut Plus worm bin converts kitchen food waste into organic compost full of nutrients for your garden. The VermiHut Plus is a step-up version of the internationally well-known VermiHut worm bin. It’s easy to use! Just fill a tray with worm bedding, red worms, and food scraps. As the worms finish composting, they will migrate upward into the tray above, leaving rich castings behind. In ideal conditions, 2 lbs of worms can consume 1 lb of food scraps per day on average. A 5-tray worm bin can house 10 lbs of worms and can help to reduce 5 lbs of food scraps per day. The VermiHut Plus provides the perfect capacity for household food waste management.
Features
1. Smallest footprint for the highest composting efficiency.
2. Odorless. The compost worms consume the food before it smells. With a component named “V-Board” built into the lid and a piece of coconut mat, the improved lid design makes it possible to remove the already minimal odor. The VermiHut Plus can be used inside or outside the house. This is a unique design. Other brand names in the worm compost market don’t have this design.
3. Moisture Control. The improved lid design makes it possible for moisture control. The V-board holds the moisture, keeps the environment moist, and provides the worms a comfortable environment. This is a unique design.
4. A component named “worm-saving tray” is built into the system. It prevents worms and compost debris from dropping into the liquid tray. It also increases the system airflow for better compost efficiency. This is a unique design.
5. A set of base "shoes" comes with the unit to prevent others from coming into the bin. This is a unique design.
6. The liquid collection tray and the base are in one piece to eliminate assembly.
Conclusion
The Plus 5-Tray Worm Compost Bin by VermiHut Plus stands out with its efficient, odorless, and moisture-controlled design. It supports significant food waste reduction for households while offering unique features unattainable by other brands in the market. Supporting the original American design not only boosts innovation but also ensures you get a high-quality, durable bin for all your composting needs. Say "Yes" to sustainability and "No" to design theft!
