I have only been wormin (worm farmer lingo) for about 6 months now and love it. The thought of making the best soil from some amazing creatures is very rewarding. I started with five pounds of worms and they have slowly begun to populate. I hope t...

I've had my 4 tier worm bin for 7 months now and it's done quite well--started with 2 lbs E.F.'s and have gotten about 6 gallons worth of pure castings so far, with another tray almost ready to harvest again. The worms have multiplied and adjusted...

I got one of your Worm Inn's in the mail today, tracked your name on the return address label to your website and saw you were a member here so I followed that link and signed up! So thanks for the cool Worm Inn, whoever responsible for sending it. Will give it a good go and talk about it on my website. First impression...Well made and my favorite color to boot! How did you know?

I'm just wondering about mess as I consider where I might put this thing. Would I need a pan below it all the time, or does it just not produce a lot of liquid? What's your experience? Thanks again! Amy

I'm interested in a continuous flow system, and I was just about to buy a Worm Factory when I came across your Worm Inn. I'm single and don't produce a ton of waste, so many of the bins feel slightly large to me. The Worm Inn looks like it might be a tad bit smaller - do you know how it compares to the Worm Factory (the dimensions are similar, but the shape might make a difference)? How much experience do you have using the Worm Inn? I can't find any customer reviews except Bentley on this site. Do you have a sense for whether the Inn would suit my situation? I could hang the bag in a pantry, but I'd have to rig it with some hooks on the ceiling. Do you have any idea how heavy the Inn gets at its fullest capacity? Any help you can give is appreciated! Thanks! Amy
