simpa Worm Farm Compost Bin for Indoor Outdoor Food Waste Recycling (Worms Not Included) 70cm (H) x 53cm (W) x 39cm (D)

Shipping:- Arrived in two days, one day earlier than expected.- Item is shipped directly in the box with no padding.- It is labelled as fragile and arrived mostly intact with only minor damage to the inside of the lid.- Bit of a mystery though, I have 4 chips of plastic and only 2 obvious points of damage. Lid still fits fine so fully functional.Construction:- The feet and the legs arrive unconnected (I'd done 3 before taking pictures). - It took a decent amount of force to fit the feet into the legs. Found it easiest to push the leg into the foot against the ground rather than try to push them together by hand.- The trays don't fit together perfectly with a couple millimetre gap in some places. This doesn't affect the functionality since the gap is so small and worms need air flow anyway.Thoughts:- My biggest concern before buying was whether it had a liquid tap underneath since it's not mentioned in the description and isn't shown in the images with a white background. (On second look it -is- present in the images in the garden, I'd just missed it.)- Related to the above though, water pools in the bottom compartment because there is a lip where the water tap exits. Might be helpful to keep the insides moist but not wet?- Item looks good, is quite sleek.- The carrying handles of each tray are comfortable to use- Is a decent size but not too heavy to carry around once filled.- Questioned whether the holes in the base of each tray large enough for bigger worms? (Yes they're large enough, best as I can tell)- The holes in the trays are about the same size as the holes in the lid so will the worms escape out the top? (Discourage this by keeping the box in a light room for a few days while they settle in)Experience Using:- Using the base layer as liquid collection (seems a bit large for just that?)- Cardboard in base of the first tray to reduce (hopefully prevent) worms falling into liquid.- Added Coco coir to tray then 1kg of dendrobaena worms, they fill the space of one tray well. (Was a starter kit from Yorkshire Worms with worms, coir, and food)- Left this tray open and in the light until most of the worms had dug down.- Stack next tray on top with a little extra coco coir and a sprinkling of food, then the hemp mat, then close the lid.- Left the bin in a bright room to discourage them from escaping the bin.- When I checked in several hours later some worms had come up from the first tray into the second to eat.- Left the bin in bright room over night.- No Escape Artists this morning so seems to be working.Thoughtful Extras:- The lid has hooks built in to hang it on the bin while adding food etc- Came with a hemp moisture mat which isn't listed or shown

It was easy to put together and seems to be fairly stable, but the lid doesn't fit or stay on. The reason is, some bits have been snapped off and we're in the bottom of the box. Will have to be kept on with the strap.Perhaps take a bit more care when packing!Unfortunately the tap underneath snapped off the first time I turned the valve. Thankfully they're relatively easy to replaceIt's cheap compared to other similar products so I wasn't really expecting too much from it. No idea if it's any good, we'll have to wait and see.

Thank u its gust wot i wont ted

Purchased this , all fits together but no imformation at all on how to actually set up each tray.I have no idea what goes where.Puzzled customer

Looks easy to put together shame doesn’t have instructions on how to set wormery going once you put worms in

The most important aspect of a good wormery is that the trays and the cover should fit, otherwise the worms will escape. The trays do not fit completely but still workable. The cover, however, does not fit all, leaving big gaps between the tray and the cover. All encouraging a great escape.My biggest issue though is that not enough I have been delivered a clearly faulty item, I have to drop it off to a parcel service rather than it being picked up from my house!

Only recently set it up but, yes well made,sturdy and I’m sure it will do the job

just not working as expected, disappointing
