I’m pleased to announce my partnership with a great company…and introduce you to one of their wonderful products.
The Urban Worm Company has an excellent, Continuous Flow worm composting bin called the
new Urban Worm Bag Eco.
It’s made in North America out of recycled plastic bottles. 88 single-use plastic bottles go into each and every one of them…and not into landfills! How brilliant is that?!
“What is a Continuous Flow Worm Composting Bin?” you may ask.
It’s brilliant in it’s simplicity. Here’s how it works.
You never have to muck about in it or empty the bag. Three layers will start to develop inside the bag, over time. The top layer is where the worms mostly stay. That’s because this is where the new food and bedding are added. The middle layer is a continuation of the decomposition process that started on the top layer. This is where microbes come in and do their part in the decomposition process. And the bottom layer contains the mature worm castings.
Which is where you harvest it from.
Food goes in on top, finished castings come out from the bottom. Continuous Flow.
The company itself, is a Customer Service business, at it’s core, with a commitment to ethical business practices. It started simply, as a blog, devoted to helping new vermicomposters.
Their motto is, “Integrity First. Profits Second.”
You gotta love that! I know I do. I have zero tolerance for jerks.
It’s also a 100% veteran-owned small business. Steve, the founder, is a 23-year Air Force veteran. His day job is First Officer for Southwest Airlines, whose past President once said, “We are a customer service company who also flies airplanes.”
Steve has adopted this as a mantra for the Urban Worm Company. His first focus is educating vermicomposters and providing ridiculously good customer service.
1% of proceeds go to Team Rubicon, a US-veteran organization dedicated to disaster relief and COVID response.
Every Urban Worm Bag Eco comes with a Lifetime Warranty and a downloadable manual…so you can learn about the process, not just the product.
That being said, let’s take a look at the product, shall we?
See how easy it is to put together and use…
Super Simple Assembly
The Urban Worm Bag will arrive with 12 male tubes, 8 short female tubes, 4 long female tubes, 8 corner connectors, and an instruction manual.
Connect The Tubes
Connect the 12 male tubes to each of the female tubes.
This will create 4 vertical supports and 8 shorter horizontal supports.
Create The Base
Connect 4 shorter horizontal supports with your plastic 3-way connectors.
Insert Vertical Supports
Insert your 4 longer vertical supports into the bottom 3-way connectors.
Insert Tubes Into Urban Worm Bag 
Insert horizontal supports through the fabric tunneling on the Urban Worm Bag.
Connect with plastic 3-way connectors.
Press Bag Onto Vertical Supports
This completes your assembly!
Time to Get To Work! 
Start your Urban Worm Bag with two bricks of low-salt Urban Worm Coco Coir or other form of carbon-rich bedding like shredded cardboard, paper,
peat moss, or a combo!
Go Easy at First
Start slowly. It takes time for the worm & microbe ecosystem to develop.
Only add a cup or two of food each week in the first few weeks. Once you see some momentum with the breaking down process, you can start adding more.
If a gross smell developes or fruit flies appear, stop adding food and add more bedding.
With patience and a little trial and error, you’ll find the right balance.
Stay Safe with Feedings
Avoid meat and dairy food wastes.
Worms love nearly all fruit and vegetable waste. But these have an incredibly high water content. Make
sure to add dry bedding with each feeding!
If you stick with a ratio of 2:1, bedding to food, you should be good.
Some people like tt layer the food waste and bedding. Others like to mix them together. Either is fine.
Harvest Time!
When your Urban Worm Bag is about 75% full…it’ll take about 4 to 6 months…it’s time to harvest. Simply remove the patented bottom to get those castings.
Release the Buckles 
Release each of the 8 buckles on the bottom…
Remove the Velcro
Pull each of the 4 Velcro tabs on the bottom, to fully remove the bottom.
Loosen the Drawstring 
This will open up the interior liner.
But, don’t worry…everything won’t
start falling out!
Use the Removable Bottom as a Catch
Remove the bottom, place it underneath the Urban Worm Bag to begin your harvest. You may need to bump the sides a bit to help to loosen compacted vermicompost.
Your first harvest may be very wet and/or be a little wormy and/or have uncomposted bedding.
It’s no big deal. Just put all that back into the top!
Subsequent harvests will have better texture and should be worm-free. It’s a living process. It takes some time to come into its full momentum.
Feed Your Soil 
Use castings as a top dress, a side dress, or mix into growing media at a 10% substitution rate, by volume.
The microbes will help cycle nutrients, aid in water retention, promote faster germination, suppress pests and pathogens, and will feed your soil.
Your garden or grow operation will thank you!
