Vego Garden In-ground Worm Bin, Worm Composter, Worm Farm
Vego Garden’s Worm Composter was borne out of the goal of making sustainably organic living accessible for everyday people. Worm Composting Bin makes it easy to dispose of your kitchen scraps sustainably, and start vermicomposting, right inside your existing Vego Garden raised garden beds. Meant to be buried into the soil of your raised bed, this in-ground worm bin helps you harness the incredible digestive power of worms to break down organic waste (kitchen scraps, paper, etc) into nitrogen-rich compost for your garden, all without the complexity and time of traditional composting systems.
The Worm Composter’s design is inspired by the shape of our Kid’s Garden Bed, and is made from an injection mold of durable, polypropylene plastic meant for use in an outdoor environment. We designed the composter to be trapezoid shaped, a little bigger on top and smaller on bottom, to ease its installation into your garden bed, as the easiest hole to dig is one that is a bit tapered. The composter holds roughly 8 gallons of kitchen scraps, and is buried 11 inches deep into your raised garden bed, leaving about six inches exposed above the soil for easy access and air circulation. The lid of the Worm Composter can be completely removed, so that you can access the compost from all sides of the bed.
The small holes in the exposed 6 inches of the composter reduce odor, and importantly, allow air circulation throughout. This ventilation adds odorless microbes into the equation, which speeds up the composting process. The interaction of the organic waste, worms, and microbes creates a rich, organic compost that contains a plethora of nutrients and beneficial microorganisms for your garden.
