Are you interested in a great hands-on lesson to teach your kids to "Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle"? Let us introduce you to the Worm Factory system. The Worm Factory is a uniquely-designed vermicompost bin. By letting the worms do the work, you can convert anywhere fron 1 to 6 lbs. of organic material per week into dark rich vermicompost.
You can turn kitchen scraps, shredded newspaper, etc. into some of the best fertilizer on the planet - vermicompost or worm castings. Go to your local nursery and see how much worm castings cost. Now you can have your students turn school garbage into this "black gold."

Benefits of The Worm Factory
The Worm Factory Saves Space:
With its square design and having the smallest footprint of all the worm composters, The Worm Factory works great for anyone with space requirements. The Worm Factory uses a tray stacking system which allows it to hold the largest capacity of compost in the smallest amount of space.
The Worm Factory is Odorless:
When managed correctly, The Worm Factory is virtually odorless. This means that Worm Factory can be used year round and can be housed anywhere including apartments, kitchens, garages, porches, etc.
The Worm Factory is Easy to Manage:
The comprehensive instruction manual makes The Worm Factory easy to manage. The instruction manual makes the setup process fast and easy and gives detailed instructions on how to manage the bin year round. Each tray holds 12.5lbs of compost which makes lifting and arranging trays effortless.
The Worm Factory Saves Time:
Let the Worm Factory do the work for you! Instead of spending time turning piles of compost yourself and removing worms by hand, the multi-tray system naturally encourages the worms to move up to the fresh, new food so they self-separate from the compost. Also, because the worms continually eat through your kitchen scraps and green house clippings, nutrient-rich compost is produced at a faster rate than traditional ways of composting. This allows you to bring rich dark compost to your plants and gardens at a faster rate.

The Worm Factory Produces the Best Compost:
If you are a gardener, you know how your plants and gardens appreciate natural, nutrient-rich compost. Get the most desirable compost for your plants and gardens through the use of worms. The worms and bacteria inside them break down and add enzymes to your kitchen scraps and junk mail. Other forms of composting work, but The Worm Factory creates the kind of compost your plants and gardens will use and thrive on.
Don't be fooled by imitations with strange looking lids! The lid on the original Worm Factory allows heat to dissipate up and out rather than holding it in and cooking your worms as the imitation (made in China) lid might if you over feed. Also, the nock-off from China can cause more moisture to develop through condensation inside the bin and push the system toward becoming anaerobic. Buy the ORIGINAL and get the BEST!
What a great way to teach your kids about taking care of the planet, about landfill overcrowding, and about the worm life cycle.
