I bought this 2 months ago, it is easy to assemble and fantastic quality. I would recommend buying the blanket as well. I thought I'd make do with cardboard instead, but after dealing with soggy cardboard and went back and bought the blanket. A fun hobby that is great for your garden and the environment.

I've had it set up for a few weeks now and it's working out great. My little wormies seem very happy.I bought the matching worm blanket and was please to realise I already had a small bucket that was the right size for under the tap.I need to get a small slice that I'm happy to donate to my worn farming, as my watering can head gets clogged up with small debris when I'm using my diluted "worm wee".Other than that, everything seems straight forward. I'm not quite clear yet exactly what to do when the first tray is full and I add the second tray. Do I need another bedding block? Or do I just lay the next lot of waste straight in the second tray, to more easily lure the worms up to it? I'll have to do a bit more research when the time comes.

I have used this Tumbleweed Worm Farm with success for more than ten years, and just bought a new one for my son - gave him worms from my worm farm. It is a great design, very practical and robust. Eventually the legs will break, but that does not matter as you can rest it on bricks. I tip the two bottom trays into the wheelbarrow every new moon, fill the tray with water and use a steel rake to mix it. I then rake the worms and uneaten compost back into one tray, and fill the second tray with new lawn clippings. The worms are thriving! I have a monthly wheelbarrow full of worm juice for the garden, and can add worms to my compost bins.

I love this worm farm but don't try and slide it on its legs as I did. One leg snapped off and I ended up with worms and mush everywhere in my courtyard. User error I know but beware. NOt sure how I'm going to deal with a leg missing as it's now a bit unstable. Otherwise it works a treat. I had to bolster it with some additional worms though.
Can-o-worms is a great little starer farm to get yourself into worm farming. Easy to set up and good instructions to get your farm going. However, as this is sold as a "starter farm" it would have been great if it was sold as a full kit ie: with all the bits and pieces needed. If you're reading this and just starting out, you'll need a couple of other things, such as a warming blanket, conditioner, and the worms - you can jump onto the Tumbleweed website to see what else you'll need. And lastly, be aware that it is a small worm farm and is really only useful for a single person (or maybe a couple if you don't have too much organic waste). I do recommend the can-o-worms as a starter but if there's more than 1 of you I would consider the "worm cafe". I hope this helps.
I bought two of these worm farms and the worms are thriving. If care is taken towards their requirements for a comfortable and happy environment these are very productive. The worms are breeding well and l will be harvesting worm castings for my vegetable and fruits very soon. Thank you.
I bought this worm farm more than a decade ago and have never regretted buying it. I use it as an addition to my other composting systems I use, as I do find that we produce far too much vegetable scraps for the worms to digest. Although I do enjoy the fact that the vermicasts collect separately in the lower trays, the best feature is the fact that you can have instant fertiliser worm tea whenever you want it and it is so easy to collect! Simply place an empty recycled juice bottle under the tap (closed). Take the lid off the worm farm, ensure the worms are covered with some paper/cardboard or a worm blanket, then pour a couple of litres of water (preferably rain water) over their covering, allowing the water time to soak through. The water will percolate through ... MoreI bought this worm farm more than a decade ago and have never regretted buying it.

Take the lid off the worm farm, ensure the worms are covered with some paper/cardboard or a worm blanket, then pour a couple of litres of water (preferably rain water) over their covering, allowing the water time to soak through. The water will percolate through the decaying food scraps and the vermicasts and will collect in the bottom layer. Simply turn on the tap and fill your bottle. Once collected, you can further dilute the worm tea by adding a portion of the collected worm tea to your watering can. (I like to transfer a quarter to a third of the worm tea that is in my 2L recycled juice bottle into my 5L watering can and then fill to the top with water). A word of warning- make sure you keep the worm farm well protected from the heat and sun during hot summer days or they will be steamed! Besides that, happy worm farming!
I bought this product today. very excited to set up and out the worms in for them to settle down. One things I noticed is the worms keep escaping through the gap of the lid, plus they also escaping to the liquid collecting tray. We tried with the insect mesh to stop them running away. Hopefully tomorrow I still have enough 1000 worms. : D
Worm farm works great id you dont have too much waste and are prepared to chop it up. Also, you do need to buy all the extras like blanket and conditioner. The “juice” that comes out of the bottom is the best thing you will ever put on your plants. Not only is extra good instant fertiliser but it makes the resilient to oests and diseases
Can-O-Worms was easy to set up and get going - especially if you buy all the extra paraphernalia. Can see would be great for kids. But we found that the size was too small for the worms to keep up with the food waste generated by our household of two vegetarian adults who eat at home most of the time but don't have excessive food wastage. For same or larger size households we recommend the larger Worm Cafe. We ended up getting another secondhand Can-o-Worms farm to cope with our volume. If you do buy a Can-O-Worms farm we also recommend buying at least another (third) tray (avail from Tumbleweed online not Bunnings unfortunately) as it gives you more flexibility when the top tray is full but the worms havn't finished with the second tray. This situations seems to be ... MoreCan-O-Worms was easy to set up and get going - especially if you buy all the extra paraphernalia. Can see would be great for kids.

This situations seems to be very likely from what i can see (NB many other kits have 4-5 trays) and seems to be helpful for the worms to have different tray environments available (incl. types of worms having different enviro needs and also for breeding i think).
