53196 WORM FACTORY®. An effi - cient way to convert kitchen scraps, junk mail and card- board into nutrient-rich compost. Perfect for organic gardeners. Add worms and watch them work in the 4-tray stackable worm bin system. The worms begin eating waste in the lowest tray and then migrate upward through the grid bottom of the next tray as food sources in the lower tray are exhausted. Valuable worm castings are left behind, ready for your garden. As each tray gets digested, continue to add food to the upper trays and cycle them so the worms continue to migrate upward. The worms can con- sume 3 to 6 pounds of food per week. As the waste composts, liquid fertilizer or “worm tea” gathers in the collection tray below and can be easily drained from the spigot for use on plants. The unit houses eight thousand worms and can be expanded up to 7 trays. It’s made of high quality, post consumer recycled black plastic and measures 16” x 16” x 14”. Odorless, year round operation. The start-up kit includes the Worm
