Plastia Urbalive Worm Farm 51x38x61 cm lichtgroen

Il est très jolie mais mes vers se font la mâles. Je commence en avoir marre a ce rythme le composteur ne va servir à rien !

Nice product, I recommend it !

So far, so good! Very easy to put together and it looks great! We have it sitting out in the open, and you hardly even notice it. It looks like a piece of furniture. The worms have been very busy composting since we started it right after Christmas. We put on the second layer last week because the first layer was nearly full. The worms have just started migrating to the second layer. We haven't had any issues with worms escaping, except when we open the lid to add more scraps. The worms crawl all over and they seem to like the lid, so if you lift the lid and there are worms on it, they might fall off. We just pick the worm up and put it back inside. Overall, we're very happy with our worm farm!

I REALLY LIKE like this worm farm! I bought it two months ago and waited until now to review so I could see it in action. I am comparing it to a DIY one level rubber bin system that I had before, that sat on the floor until it died.PROS; Its VERY visually attractive, with a tiny footprint. It's the most attractive worm composter I have seen, which is superficial - but I live in an apartment so I see it all day , and the visuals matter to me . I find worms very cute and compositing makes me happy, but if you had a housemate or spouse thats resistant to composting , this chicly design could help sell them or at least reconcile them to the whole idea. If you want to educate your kids about compost , this cheerful design could help get them excited, and the kid level trays could make it into a fun ritual/ observation deck ( although with a toddler you may have to bungee the whole thing shut LOL). It is VERY easy to use and unintimidating, good for first time composters. It is very efficient, - I feel like the worms can get to stuff easier than the one level tub version I had before, so they process stuff very quickly. The worms seem VERY happy in there and I have not had any mass escapes, except when I put in too many cherries ( my fault). It's easy to set up and sturdy. It has a little catch all for worm casings and I think that's very cool. I haven't used them in my garden yet, but I'm excited to do so. I love that its raised high off the floor so there is no worry of stains or dampness underneath, and it makes it easier to dump stuff in as I make it. I like the 3 bin system - right now I am keeping worms in the bottom and brown paper bedding paper in the top, so its storage for their bedding, very efficient. CONS: Its quite expensive compared to other farms or DIY . Basically you are paying a premium for the nice design and color ( I knew that,and I bit the bullet) . As it is in use, there are some tiny little discolored lighter spots developing on the plastic. Its no big deal, but if you are a super perfectionist it might bother you. Like all worm composting, it does attract fruit flies/ bigs a bit, and because the levels aren't fully sealed and its raised off the ground, flies seem to hang out more at knee level than floor level like my floor bin system. Hence the flies are more noticeable. However it does come with a fly paper for that, and Its not that big a deal. I'm willing to take that tradeoff for the form factor and having it raised off the floor. Once it gets going Im not sure how much it will actually process. If you have a large family or a lot of waste it might not be big enough. NEUTRAL: it has not made compost tea yet, so I can't rate the spigot. There have been a few escapes. and sometimes worms lurk in the curved corners of the bins but I haven't had any mass uprisings. My worms are NOT migrating down to the mesh part like other posters so I can't judge if its durable enough or not... Basically if you are design conscious or want to convert a resistant human to composting , this is the farm for you!

This is an attractive product, but has some annoying flaws. The instructions say the legs come with pre-drilled starter holes for easy fastening...mine had no such holes. It also says that if you've assembled it correctly worms can't escape. Other than putting the legs on, there is nothing to "assemble." I had a worm exodus on night one and couldn't have assembled it any differently than how I had it. I added a bit more moisture and the worms seem to be happier...or they just saw too many of their comrades fall to their death and decided living in a neon green plastic home was a better alternative.
