Special Note – As of 4PM CDT on 4-8-24 these are on sale for 69 bucks.  That is 19% off on an already very well priced item.  Last time they were on sale it only lasted a day so if you need one, get while you can.

Today’s Item of the day is the VEVOR 5-Tray Worm Composter.  You guys know I love worm composting but have struggled with ants causing me misery by invading my worm farms and killing all my worms.  So last year I found the Urban Worm Bag and it worked well for me but it can be somewhat expensive and many of you have no ant issues or can locate your worm farm where you don’t have to worry about ant invasions.

Now that I am working directly with Vevor I started looking for an alternative and found a great one, the VEVOR 5-Tray Worm Composter.  Generally I have not recommended this style of worm composter, not because they don’t work, simply due to cost.  Many options like this are well over 100 bucks!  But at only 85 bucks this item is worth the cost and way easier to use then a self built version from rubber made tubs.  It is also purpose built and works exactly as designed.

That is a great deal and likely less than 5 rubber made tubs anyway to make one of your own anyway.  But I am not done, use my discount code at check out (VVPROMO) and you can take off any additional 5%.  And all you really need to do is take it out of the box, stack it together and add worms and bedding and you are off to making your own awesome worm compost and worm tea for your garden.

Worms are almost magic when it comes to fertility in fact even my Bioreactor Compost relies a great deal on worm and other soil organism activity.  I always include some worm compost to kick start things in my bioreactors, and spray worm tea on my plants though the gardening season as well.

Also they have thought about pests here, think ants.  There are foot trays that you can fill with water to help prevent crawling invaders. Filling it with a neutral oil will work even better and won’t rapidly evaporate like water.  I will say this can go outside but should not be in direct sun and I advice it be also under some form of cover.

The composter is big enough to easily compost an average families kitchen waste and then some and yet compact enough to put almost anywhere.  And while likely a bit heavy when full, the modular nature makes moving it around a snap.

The tray style system allows worms to migrate from tray to tray as they consume your waste and the microbes that partner with them.  This makes harvesting castings and worms a snap and the simple faucet at the bottom makes draining of leachate (worm tea) a snap.  Then just dilute that at 10 to 1 and use it as a soil drench and/or a foliar spray and watch your garden explode with life.

Now I don’t know how long this item is going to stay on sale so if you want to add this to your quiver of garden tools, I’d get one today.  So check out the VEVOR 5-Tray Worm Composter and to get the best price log into your account when you order or set up an account before you order.  Then use code (VVPROMO) at check out for another 5% off.

I’ll end with this, at this price if you have a lot of waste to process get two right out of the gate, I can say this is one of those items that can’t really fail in anyway.  So just go for it.

P.S. – Like most Vevor Items you can also order this on Amazon but it will cost you a dollar more more right now and you won’t get the additional 5% off I have set up with Vevor for my folks.  Still some prefer Amazon so if that is you and you want to pay a little more for the “Amazon Experience”, you can find it on Amazon here.
