Vermicomposting

Sustainability

Of America’s nearly 300 millions tons of yearly waste, only about 32% is composted or recycled, according to the EPA. So, how can we make composting easier and raise that conversion rate? The answer, it turns out, is worms! Vermicomposting is much faster than traditional methods, it only takes 2-3 months, and the in-bed design makes it more convenient than ever.

Vego Composter

Dimensions

Bury the composter 11 inches deep and fill it only about 5 gallons full, so the small holes in the top are exposed for crucial air circulation and odor control. Mound the soil at the site of the composter, so that it is elevated above the rest of the bed. Use 2-3 composters in larger beds to create enough worm castings.

Tips

To ensure proper airflow inside the composter, make sure to only bury the composter up to the ridge, leaving the sections of small air holes exposed as shown here.

Reviews

Nice, but be careful where you place it.

"This is a nice idea, but in use, it's been a little tricky to figure out. Placement needs to be well thought out for accessibility as crops grow. Also, don't place in beds with plants with aggressive roots-they can grow into the cage and be hard, if not impossible to dislodge. It has been fine in my beds with brassicas, tomatoes, etc. It definitely makes vermicomposting simpler in my garden as it gets too hot here for a free-standing vermicomposting bin."

Worm Compost

"My Worm Composter and I are failures. I’m in North Texas Zone 8b. It’s to hot in the direct sun to place this. I have some shade up close to the house, but I placed the thermometer into the ground dirt it was just above 80* I’m afraid it’s still going to be too hot. I do love the product concept."

— Lorie B. (4/5)

Great home composter

"Great composter if you don't have a crazy amount of kitchen scraps. I will say, it's helpful to put it in a bed or place that gets a lot of shade because it can get hot. I've also got a lot of black soldier fly larvae in mine. I know they're beneficial,1 so I am not mad about it, just a little icky. I think that is user error, though! Overall, I really enjoy this product."

— Katie (4/5)

Beware of moles

"I'm not reviewing this specific product, but rather the concept. I created 2 of these and had an unpredicted issue. Moles! Moles love worms. So if you use one of these, make sure your bed is protected. I ended up pulling the bins out. Love the concept though, and will try again next time we build raised beds."

— Linnie (5/5)

Home for worms

"The Vego In-Bed Composter has been one of the best additions to my garden. It provides a simple and effective way to turn kitchen scraps and garden waste into nutrient-rich compost right where my plants need it. I love that it helps reduce household waste while naturally improving soil health and plant growth. What really stands out is that this composter feels like an investment in both my garden and the environment. Instead of sending organic waste to the landfill, I can recycle it into valuable nutrients that benefit my raised beds. The in-bed design is convenient, low-maintenance, and blends nicely into the garden without taking up extra space. The construction is sturdy and well-made, giving me confidence that it will last for many growing seasons. Overall, the Vego In-Bed Composter is an excellent solution for anyone looking to garden more sustainably while creating a healthier, more productive garden."

— Patrick E. (5/5)

Great Success the First Year!

"I had a phenomenal experience when I had two of these the first year. I managed 7 generations of baby earthwaorms into the fall and over the winter. I checked on them during an early spring thaw to find another generation already. Since the first year, the worms just won't stay anymore, apparently migrating into the garden finding better food out there leaving the composter quiet. I did something right at first and then I am not. I had fun with this and looking to do something different for next year. In short, I don't regret starting this."

— Thomas P. (5/5)

Phenomenal for compost beginners

"The in-ground compost is a gamechanger for something I saw to be a daunting undertaking. This method is phenomenal for compost beginners. I don’t have a raised bed or a container to place it in so we dug straight into the ground and voila. And I feel more assured that our whole family is practicing less waste. And it doesn’t hurt that the bin is pretty to look at."

— Angie (5/5)

Easy install, happy worms and millipedes

"Could not be simpler. My worms and millipedes are happy."

— Alyssa L. (5/5)

Aesthetically pleasing

"I got rid of my tumbler and put these instead. I have one in each bed, 3. 5’X6. 5’. Two can fit, but one is enough too."

— Durriyyah A. (5/5)

Easy to use

"New to composting and just wanted something simple to get started. I really like the size on this in ground composter and the color is really nice too. The only complaint that I have (why I did four stars) is that the latch on the lid is really difficult to open sometimes. I have to lean my weight fully onto the lid with one hand and open with the other to get it to release. I suppose that’s not a terrible feature in terms of keeping raccoons and other critters out of the compost, but sometimes makes it tricky to use it quickly."

— Whitney (4/5)

Q&A

I am new to in-ground worm composting. I have added my worms and vegetable scraps. Do I have to remove the castings/compost from this bin over time?
Thank you for your question! Yes, you will need to spread the worm castings yourself! We recommend removing them from the composter with gloves and a small shovel!
Hi! Is there a list of what kind of scraps can go into this composter? Are meat and fish ok? What about larger fruit/veg scraps like banana peels?
Thank you for your question! Meat and Fish should definitely be avoided, while your fruit and vegetable waste will work wonderfully. Citrus can be tricky, but you the peels can be ok if they are thoroughly dried out. You can learn more about what you can and cannot include on our blog or by checking us out on social media! Check out this blog to get started. https://shorturl.at/Vp3Ez
Would it be ok to use leaves that fall in the yard to place in the composter?
Thank you for your question! Leaves and other plant waste are great for your worm composter!
Rats...!! Ugh. I use big plastic bins now and the rats always chew holes and eat the "burried" food and the worms. I put chicken wire with around and it stopped it but what an absolute pain getting to the bins to feed. I want bins inside the garden beds for easy access. Will rats gig under the dirt and into the bins or is the plastic thick enough they won't chew through the exposed top?
Thank you for your question! Our composter is definitely more durable, but it does have openings for breathability. You can look into our gopher net to assist with burrowing pests, and research DIY repellents online. Just be sure to avoid harsh chemicals for the sake of your plants' health.
Where do I get the worms? And how many do I put in one of your bins? Should I put soil in the bottom for them? Or do I spread them out in the soil of the raised bed?
Thank you for reaching out! We don't have a specific recommendation for worm providers, but it will be good to get about 200 to start out. Bury the composter, insert your worms and compost and go from there! The worms will move about your bed but you can expect them to congregate around the composter as you continue to put compostable food waste int the worm bin.
