Ready to use worm composting kit. Just add water! (And some food scraps of course :~).

The bin is fully assembled and ready to use.
Bin material: Untreated spruce
Compost capacity: 2 cubic feet
Maximum flow through: 4lb a week
Time for ready compost: 2 months
To start the worm bin:
- Soak 2lb of bedding in 1 liter (4.5 cups) of non- chlorinated water. Use a plastic container or a strong plastic bag. It's better to use rain or pond water.
- Let the bedding to absorb water for 2 - 3 hours.
- Put one tray on the base. You don't need the second tray now.
- Put the drip tray on the floor beneath the bin - to prevent water from dripping on the floor.
- Put the bedding in the tray.
- Put worms on top of the bedding.
- Cover with the lid.
You can start collecting some food scrap now. After 5 - 7 days it's OK to feed the worms for a first time. This bin is recommended for families of 3 - 4 person. It doesn't take much space and doesn't require too much attention. If you plan to not feed your worms more then a month, try to find a worm - sitter.
