With its compact design and hassle-free, continuous-flow system for collecting worm castings, apartment dwellers and home owners alike can easily create a nutrient-rich fertilizer in the comfort of their homes.

The Perfect Environment for Worm Composting

To be effective, a worm composting environment must create the right conditions for worms to flourish in. This includes:

• A dark space to protect their light-sensitive bodies. Once you’ve fed the worms, simply close and zip the top of the bag to keep the worms out of direct light.
• Good air flow. The materials used in the construction of this home worm composting system ensure an excellent air flow throughout the worm composting process.
• Durability to withstand long-term use. The manufacturers of the Urban Worm Bag are so confident in the quality of the materials and processes used in the its construction that the bag comes with a lifetime warranty.
• Ease of use. The bag’s continuous flow system simplifies the hardest part of worm composting – collecting the castings. These drop down as the worms move up in search of food. Simply unzip the bottom and allow the castings to flow into a container. The worms remain undisturbed and happily munching away.
