The worm composter is something in which I don’t see the merit. You bury it in the ground, put your compost in, and the earthworms can just go in and out. I just bury my compostables, no need for the plastic hole in the ground. I am going to give it away. That being said, the raised beds are the bomb!! Do not try to buy a knock off. You will be disappointed. The Vego raised beds are the only ones to trust. We are in love with ours, and will buy more.
