Continuous flow worm bins allow for worm-free harvests. There is never an emptying of the Urban Worm Bag.
It's super simple.
Your Urban Worms Bag will arrive with 12 male tubes, 8 short female tubes, 4 long female tubes, 8 corner connectors, and an instruction manual.
Connect the 12 male tubes to each of the female tubes. This will create 4 vertical supports and 8 shorter horizontal supports.
Insert horizontal supports through the fabric tunneling on the Urban Worm Bag. Connect with plastic 3-way connectors.
Any worm bin needs time for the worm and microbe ecosystem to develop.
In the first few weeks, be very conservative with your feedings, adding only a cup or two each week until you see the waste is being broken down easily.
Stop adding food waste and add bedding if you encounter foul odors, gnats, or fruit flies.
Stick with non-dairy, non-meat food wastes.
Worms love banana peels, apple cores, all sorts of melons & nearly all vegetable waste.
Food waste is incredibly high in water content, so make sure to add dry bedding with each feeding. For a feeding, we recommend 2x the volume of bedding to food waste.
Some users like to layer their food waste and bedding. Others like to mix them together.
Pssst....we like to mix them together!

After 4 to 6 months *and* when your Urban Worm Bag is about 75% full, it's time to harvest! Remove the patented bottom of the "UWB" and get those castings!
Simply pull on the bottom of each of the 4 Velcro tabs on the bottom to fully remove the bottom.
Remove the patented bottom and place underneath the Urban Worm Bag to begin harvest. Hint....bumping the sides helps to loosen compacted vermicompost!
Your first harvest may be very wet, maybe a little wormy, and will contain unprocessed bedding. Just send that material back into the top!
Subsequent harvests will have better texture and should be worm-free.
Use castings as a top dress, a side dress, or mix into growing media at a 10% substitution rate, by volume.
The microbes will help cycle nutrients, aid in water retention, promote faster germination, suppress pests and pathogens, and will simply feed your soil.
Your garden or grow operation will thank you!
The Urban Worm Company started as a blog to help new vermicomposters. So at our core, we are a service business, helping people to recycle their organic waste into incredible soil.
A retired Air Force officer, Steve operates on an "Integrity First" principle!
I'm a 23-year Air Force veteran and airline pilot. My day job is as a pilot for Southwest Airlines, whose past President once said "We are a customer service company who also flies airplanes."
I've adopted a similar mantra here at the Urban Worm Company where my first focus is educating vermicomposters and providing ridiculously good customer service.
“Just wanted to let you know that I have been feeding bokashi to my worms in the Urban Worm Bag and they absolutely love it. And the apple cores were gone in no time.
I have tried so many other worm systems and this one takes the cake. Thank you for your product.”

“I've looked at a lot of worm bins and went with the Urban Worm Company for many reasons. Positive reviews, convenience, design quality, and affordability, expertise, and customer service.
I'm so happy to be a member of "Urban Worm Nation! LOL”

“Good work, Steve. I've had your Urban Worm Bag for two years now and cannot say enough about it. There is zero smell or fuss and my worms are just as healthy now as when I started. The temperature is always around 70 degrees and they send out cocoons as fast as they can!”

“There aren't many business left like the Urban Worm Company! Steve, you handled my problem with the Version 1 Urban Worm Bag so fast."
