Starter kit questions

Do worm composters come with worms?

The starter kits include bran or bedding, but you add the worms separately.

How many trays do I need to start vermicomposting?

Three trays is enough to begin; five trays give more stages for finished castings.

Can I use a bokashi bin indoors?

Yes, the sealed lid keeps odors in, so it works in a kitchen.

What is the difference between a worm bin and a bokashi bin?

Worm bins use worms to eat scraps; bokashi bins ferment scraps with bran.

What a starter kit needs to include

A starter kit should give you everything to begin composting on day one: the bin itself plus the bran, worms, or tools that get the process going. Worm composters in this slice come as multi-tray systems, three or five trays, with a worm farm starter kit for vermicomposting food waste indoors or outdoors. Bokashi bins ship with bran so you can ferment kitchen scraps without worms. One tumbling composter appears as a batch unit with no added starter, so check whether the kit includes an inoculant or bedding.

Forms and sizes that show up

Worm compost bins run from 32 quarts (three trays) to 53 quarts (five trays), in black, green, or gold. Bokashi bins sit around 20 liters (5.28 gallons) or 18.8 liters (5 gallons) in tan, dark green, grey, or black. A single-chamber tumbling composter appears at 37 gallons in black and green. The tray count matters more than the total volume for worm systems, since each tray is a stage of finished castings.
