Moutta | Urbalive 2 Trays Ivory, Complete Kit I Wormery Design I 500gr of Compost Worms I Starter substrate I Hemp mat + Shovel I Interior, balcony and garden

I was so disappointed with this. It is poorly designed and not fit for purpose. It has been used for 12 hours and I’ve already abandoned it. Thankfully I had set it up in the garage because this morning there were worms that had escaped. I’ve set up another tub that I will use going forward and I’m returning the item and requested a full refund. So disappointed.

Do you need this? No. Can you set up a worm farm for vermicomposting for a lot less money? Yes. The MOST important thing in vermicomposting is worm/bin health.However, if you care about a) ease of daily use, b) well thought out design, c) quality control, and d) have two hunnerd bux to throw down -- this one is the best. We have used the top four worm bins/bags on the market, and this one wins.***THE GOOD***1) COMPACT SIZE: It has the smallest footprint of the three similar competitor bins. Allow for 24" tall by 14" wide. To save space or when guests are over, it fits easily under the dining table or snugly under a sofa end table.2) QUALITY OF PRODUCTION: This bin and the competitors' designs appear to be very similar; they are not. From the box it arrives in to the customer service line, this is a professional company with a professional image/presentation. Appreciated.i) Plastics: This Urbalive bin has thicker plastic sides (less warping/waving) which means the bins, when stacked, align perfectly (and don't skitter off/sideways) and the lid sets down snugly and securely (and doesn't fall off if looked at crossly). Air holes are really well thought out and will minimize excess moisture.ii) Wood: The wooden handle is solid and secure (and the extra weight helps keep the lid secure). The wooden legs are a perfect height to keep it overall low profile. We DON'T love the screwing in part (see "The Bad" below), and we added felt floor protectors to the bottom.iii) Details: The handle cutouts are thoughtfully reflected in the coir blanket as well as a fantastic wire-rimmed screen (to keep worms from falling through to the bottom). No one else provides this screen for their bins and it is GENIUS. Already thinking about how to recreate it when it tears or wears out. NOTE: The coir blanket provided is SO thick and sturdy. Compared it to the top competitor's, this Urbalive blanket is about 3x thicker. Really, really good quality.iv) Extras: Granted it was a fair bit o' coin, but still nice to receive all the extras: coir blanket, extra block o' coir, spade, measuring cup, and the form-fitted screen.3) UR SO PUURTY! Smooth contoured edges with a slight MCM vibe to the design. Does this matter? Yes, if you live in a small space and need to incorporate it into your interior design (assuming you don't keep it outside). The cream color is lovely and 'clean' looking. Although, in retro, we think the grey would require less wiping down.***THE BAD***The Legs: Ugh. It would have been SO easy to simply make the wood legs pressure fit (shove em' in with a bit of downward pressure) without any hardware required. It is a cheap and relatively easy process with plastic molding. THESE legs cannot be tightly secured (and there is a small amount of wiggle that remains) because it is only one screw, at an angle, in each leg). This is one of only two disappointments, but both are minor (and head-scratchers, because, well, they would have been so easy to fix prior to production).Measuring Cup: Hard plastic, in transit from Europe(?) with no protection, banging around against other hard objects. It was cracked on arrival. Honestly, don't need it, but it was a really really nice touch. And like the bin, very well designed (like most European objects) to fit perfectly in the hand. Oh well.OVERALL: We really love this thing. Our worms are happy and healthy, and the bin looks good in a small space. However, what matters is worm and bin HEALTH -- the rest is just lipstick :-)

Pas d'odeur, discret. Seul inconvénients : les vers qui s'échappent la nuit

Muy chulo

Looks great in my space compared to my old ugly bin. Good quality and size. I got white but realizing now will take more effort to keep clean. Wish it came in more colors like an rust earth tone that would hide a little exterior dirt better

Estéticamente perfecto. Viene con todo para comenzar a comoostat. No cierra muy bien y entran hormigas, lo tenemos en exterior.
