Review: Great vermiculture setup - Wanted to try my hand at this and took a chance on this item. Upon arrival, the bottom liquid catching part had a massive crack due to shipping and was unusable. I contacted Vermitek directly and they responded within 24 hours that a new part will be shipped and arrive within the week. It was and now we have everything setup. It was an easy set up for the most part. The instructions were a little confusing due to diagram and all items included were not labeled on instructions. There were bonus items I'm still not sure of their purpose. However, it was genuinely nice they included these hidden surprises. The one design opportunity I think is the bottom tray and guard board do not have a more secure lock in to each other and the bottom feeding tray. I think some sort of tray guard rail would help instead of being flush. While there are cheaper variants out there, I decided to buy this one as it appears to be a legitimate business attempt at a product and not a knockoff trying to cash in. The value has been great overall and the customer support was fantastic. The size is suitable for a small operation with opportunity to grow. I would definitely recommend.
Review: Complete Vermicomposting Setup - I started vermicomposting almost a year ago with this. This is as complete a composter as you can ask for. Perfect size and quality for one person to handle, and easy to bring my worms in during winter. It comes with all you'll need to start vermicomposting. My kitchen has no odors, and my worms are happy. I mean, I haven't asked them, but they continue to multiply like rabbits. Of the thousands of worms I started with, a few wriggled away initially, but I don't think they are happier wherever they may be. Some drowned in excessive rain, and some may be in the bellies of birds or other predatory creatures. The ones that stayed are treated to fresh organic matter once reserved only for worm royalty. My worm population has tripled in size, thanks to great vermigoverning from myself... The Lord of the Worms. (Disclaimer: Coffee portrayed in the video is not actually coffee and likely contains worm pee. I use it as an organic fertilizer. Consume at your own risk.)

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Once the worms make it to the top do you reuse them and put them back in the bottom tray or do you get new worms?**
A: Of course, you can reuse them.  Normally, when most of the worm go to the top trays, the bottom tray has very few worms.  Then you can harvest the casting at the very bottom tray.  After you harvest the bottom tray and clean it, you can put it on the top as a top tray.  At this time , the original 2nd bottom becomes the very bottom tray.   You leave the worms in the system, and they will still stay, live and compost in the system.

**Q: How many red worms do you need to order for this product?**
A: To begin with, we suggest starting with 1000 pcs or 1 lbs of red worms.  
Please feel free to let us know if you have more questions.

Thanks.

**Q: Can you use nightcrawlers instead of red wigglers?**
A: Red Wigglers are called compost worms. They feed on scraps buried in soil. Scraps buried prevent things like fruit flys. They also re-produce faster than nightcrawlers. Night Crawlers are top feeders. I would stick to using Night Crawlers for fish bait.

**Q: What are the dimensions of the worm farm?**
A: Each tray is 17"x17"x5".  The volume is the same as the ones in the market such as the worm factory and the original VermiHut.  When all 5 trays are stacked, it is about 33" including the base.  We make the VermiHut Plus tray wider and little bit shorter so that it has less pressure and more area for air-flow.  The VermiHut Plus design is an improvement compared to the original VermiHut and the Worm Factory.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A few escape each night, but good price and came with unlisted useful extras.
*by H***E on March 5, 2025*

The picture gives the impression that each tray sits equidistant from the bottom of the one beneath it, as if they lock in place. This is not the case. Each tray sits pressed directly against the compost in the tray below it. No trays lock in place. The tower could easily be knocked over and fall apart by a person or big animal. I keep a broken cinder block piece on the lid to discourage this possibility Worms do escape at night (I find them dead in the ant traps around the feet, and sometimes I see them noodling out in the day before trying to squeeze back in). They aren't escaping en masse but a few every day is going to add up. This is also problematic because I had planned to take them indoors when it gets super hot in summer. If I do that, I'll have to worry about worms exploring my house. 😔 All that said, the price is pretty good compared to some other models, it came with a couple unlisted extras including a little hand rake and a nice coir mat for the bottom tray (the instructions suggested using cardboard but the coir mat is perfect), and the overall design makes sense (though perhaps not optimal for my summer needs).
