Existing Worm Bin Products

Hungry Bin
Hungry bins are designed and made in New Zealand
They feature a tapered shape that takes food scraps in the top and castings out the bottom. The tapered shape means that only the finer castings can fall free from the bottom and the larger pieces remain in the top or neck.

Pros:
  • Easy operation and usage
  • Collects Worm Tea
  • On wheels for easy movement
  • Raised off the ground to deter vermin
  • Large Capacity

Cons:
  • Only suitable for outside



Waste Away Digester
The waste away digester focuses more towards large scale composting. It features 1 large bay that is filled at the top and left until the worms push the castings to the bottom. The castings are collected by using a long pole through a small door at the bottom of the bin.

Pros:
  • Easy operation and usage
  • Self watering system
  • Large capacity
  • Raised to deter vermin

Cons:
  • Only for outdoor use
  • Hard to collect castings
  • Does not collect worm tea



Worms R Us Bin
The Worms R Us Bin uses the basic stacking method of the flow through design. What makes this slightly different to other flow through bins is the option to have as many or few levels as you want. This is done through 2 different lid designs, one with holes and one without. If a new level is needed you can switch the lid and add another level.

Pros:

  • Optional extra levels
  • Can collect worm tea

Cons:

  • Ugly aesthetic
  • Not raised off the ground
  • Need space for extra lids and trays

Can-O-Worms
The Can-O-Worms uses the same flow through design similar to the Worms R Us Bin. This has three levels that can work at the same time. Unlike the Worms R Us Bin, there are no lids to separate the levels. Instead the trays rest inside each other but other identical trays can be added if needed.

Pros:

  • Can collect worm tea
  • Raised off the ground to deter vermin
  • Additional trays can be ordered online

Cons:

  • Small capacity
  • Plane aesthetic
