Description

The Essential Living Composter is the 3rd generation of worm composters created by FCMP OUTDOOR. The Essential Living Composter offers all the same design features as the previous model but at a budget-friendly price. It also has all the features traditionally found in top-end vermicomposters. The liquid collected in the reservoir base is known as worm tea. Mix 1 part tea with 1 part water to create an excellent fertilizer for plants. The efficiency of the vermicomposting process keeps typical composing odour to a minimum and allows the unit to be kept inside and used year-round. Constructed from BPA free, UV inhibited, recycled polypropylene the plastic is contact safe and will not degrade if outside under direct sunlight. The composter does not come with worms. To purchase the red wiggler worms for your composter a quick internet search should help you find a company that can ship them to you quickly.

The resulting worm castings create a nutrient rich compost to use as a powerful soil additive.
Year-round indoor use
The moisture control water retention channel running around the outside of each tray collects water to prevent the bedding from drying out along the edges.
A collection of 52 angled migration tunnels extend down from the base of each tray providing ample opportunity for worms to migrate between trays.
Proudly made in Canada

FCMP Outdoor 6-gallon Grey Plastic Worm Composter is rated 4.6 out of 5 by 16.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Slothy from Excited at progress [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The directions that came with the worm composter are very basic and not very helpful. The directions on the website were much more thorough and had more key details to know. I had big worms and little worms and after the first night there was a pile of the little worms on the floor under the composter. The big worms are still going strong and loving their enclosure. I am starting to get some worm tea and excited at the progress in just 2 weeks! The composter is sturdy and easy to open to add more kitchen scraps as needed. There is an extremely faint odor but I have it in my basement so it doesn't bother me.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Hope A from Excited! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have never used a product like this, but I am really excited to give it a go! So far, it’s been very easy to set up, and start using. Of course these things take time to reap the rewards from, but if the start up is any indication, I see a great benefit ahead of me with this composted bin! I appreciate the simple design, and the stackable system. I also like the purple color, and the sturdiness of the box. Looking forward to continuing to use this product for a long time to come! Seems great for beginners like me!

Rated 5 out of 5 by toodles from Easy to set up [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have been wanting to start composing and were excited to receive this composter. It arrived quickly and was packaged safely and securely. It was super easy to set up and the plum color is really nice. This is for indoor use and we set it up in our garage. The size is great and it hardly takes up any space. The composter is made really well and is nice and solid. The bins are easy to separate and put back together. We are very happy with this cute composter and recommend it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Beewiththeforest from No one knows! I've had quite a few people over to my small one bedroom apartment. No one knows it's a composter smell wise or visually. It cleans easy and looks great. I've indoor composted for years now with no problems. I highly recommend this!

Rated 5 out of 5 by EvaJ from Great for beginners [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm new to composting and I love this bin's design. It's quite friendly for beginners as it allows the liquid to disperse evenly so I can have my mind at ease if I forget to water it accidentally. It makes maintenance easy too with different layers. This environmentally friendly bin provides nutritious fertilizer for my plants as well. Last but not the least, its color and size enable it fit the style of my house.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Poofykinz from Cute design with some happy worms [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The FCMP worm composter is very nice in design. Love how sturdy the materials are and how it looked indoors. However, this composter is a bit of a reach for big produce scraps so should be used in small quantities at a time. With any worm composter there will be some worms that will escape so use caution on that. My cats seemed to have interest in hearing these little ones move about. The worm glue dispenses!

Rated 5 out of 5 by bunny22 from Super easy to make compost [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the cute design and reasonable price. So far the worms are happy. I ended up buying a second one. Haven’t done my first migration to the second tray yet, so I can’t comment on that yet. I wish there was some kind of screen between the bottom layer and the base where leachate collects because I occasionally find worms down there and sometimes they drown or dry out and die before I see them.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Haley2209 from Easy Stacking [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The FCMP Outdoor composter bin is pretty solid! Made out of plastic, I am worried about how it is going to hold up with time, if the sun will fade the plastic as well, and how strong of winds it can withhold. The stacking bins are easy to separate and put back together. It comes with just about everything I need to get started. The purple color is also a very nice touch!
