Product Description
Composting with worms allows you to turn kitchen scraps, paper waste and cardboard into nutrient-rich soil for
your plants. The Worm Factory 360 composting system makes the entire process quick and easy. With a
thermo siphon air flow design, the Worm Factory 360 increases the composting speed. Now you can produce
compost much faster than traditional composting methods. This version of the Worm Factory 360 comes in
black, and it's also available in green and terracotta.

2. Why the Worm Factory 360?
Americans throw away 34 million tons of food waste into landfills each year, more than any other type of waste
(EPA.gov). While traditional backyard composting has its place, the process can take up to two years and
rotating it can become a chore. Worm composting uses worms to do the work of breaking down waste and is
more efficient and easier to manage than a traditional backyard compost pile. In addition, its compact design
makes it perfect for use in any household.
Worm composting makes it easy to recycle kitchen scraps, paper waste and cardboard into nutrient-rich
fertilizer for your plants, creating a more sustainable lifestyle by recycling and improving soil quality. The Worm
Factory 360 houses thousands of composting worms in a compact space. These worms work 24/7 to efficiently
produce highly beneficial, rich compost packed with microbes and water-soluble plant nutrients.
This eliminates all the work of traditional composting and yields a much more valuable end product. Worm
compost has been proven to have ten times the nutrients of traditional backyard compost. The more nutrients
that are available to your plants, the larger they grow and the more bountiful your harvest is. This system
allows you to enjoy organic vegetables, fruits, and flowers grown with the help of your kitchen scraps.
How the Worm Factory 360 Works
At A Glance
The Worm Factory 360 is simple to set up and operate. Managing your Worm Factory 360 takes less than 15
minutes a week.
Included with each Worm Factory 360 are a comprehensive instruction guide and DVD that make setup easy
and give detailed tips on how to best manage your new Worm Factory 360 year-round.
Start with just the bottom tray and bedding material included. Add 1lb of composting worms and start filling the
tray with household waste. The worms will process and recycle the waste into fine compost full of nutrients.
When the first tray is full, stack another on top. Each tray has a grid bottom, so worms migrate upward as new
food is added.
As waste is broken down, moisture filters through the system, taking nutrient-rich particles with it. This makes
it possible to harvest organic liquid fertilizer right from the spigot.

3. Adding Food/Waste
Adding household waste to the Worm Factory 360 is easy; just open the lid and toss the food in. Fruits,
vegetables, grains, paper, eggshells, leaves, coffee grounds and more can be added. Three foods to avoid are
diary, meat, and citrus items; these can be harmful to the worms and are difficult to compost. Feed your worms
about 50 percent food scraps and 50 percent fiber and paper. This creates the optimal environment for worms
and finished compost. The goal is to recycle what you usually throw away.
Don't worry about feeding your worms every day. Some people feed them a handful a week; some people feed
them a handful a day. The general rule of thumb is worms can eat about half their weight in food per day. This
means that if you start with 1 pound of worms, they can eat a half pound of food per day. Worms can survive
up to two weeks without any additional food. Just feed them a bit extra before going on long vacations.
In a healthy environment, composting worms will maintain their population without over or under populating.
Odorless Year-Round Operation
Your waste production isn't seasonal and your composting efforts shouldn't be either! Composting is no longer
limited to the warm months. The Worm Factory 360 can be used indoors or outdoors, allowing year round
operation. When managed correctly, the Worm Factory 360 is odorless, making it the perfect composter for
apartments, kitchens, condos, garages, porches and more! Because of its unique design, the Worm Factory 360

4. allows oxygen to flow through the system, discouraging stinky garbage odors.
It is important to note that worms are living creatures, and cannot tolerate extreme temperatures. Keep the
Worm Factory 360 so that the bedding remains between 40 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit, or where you would
personally feel comfortable.
The Worm Factory 360 is expandable vertically, allowing a high compost capacity while maintaining a very
small footprint. When full, each tray weighs 12.5 pounds, making lifting and arranging trays effortless.
The Worm Composting Cycle
Your first tray will take about three months to become fully composted by the worms. After the first tray is
composted the other trays can take as little as a month depending on the waste added. Once you harvest your
finished compost from the bottom tray, you will have an empty tray to stack on top again.
The nutrient-rich finished compost can be used in your garden, raised beds, container gardens, or on
houseplants. Even if you're not a gardener, the Worm Factory 360 helps you reduce your impact and provides
an alternative to throwing your waste into the landfill. Worm compost not only adds vital nutrients to your soil,
it also conditions the soil to hold water longer, prevent plant disease, and promote healthy root growth.
Take one step in the green direction with the Worm Factory 360 and create a healthier, happier environment.
