Worm Factory 360 review (video)

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAjrkL9D_WI When my friend told me he had a Worm Factory in his basement, I had to check it out.

It took my compost tumbler a good 9+ months to really get the condoms broken down in the slightest...I wouldn't be surprised if there's still plenty of pieces in there. A small-scale backyard composting project isn't going to produce crazy hot composting temperatures for a sustained period of time (which is definitely why my Sun Chips bag is still intact a good 10…
