Here are what folks are saying about the Worm Wigwam and our flow through vermicomposting systems
We're very satisfied with our Worm Wigwam and thrilled that we finally have a vermicomposting system that works so well and so effortlessly. No more plastic storage bins, no more stacking, and no more separating! The flow-through design is ideal, and the crank makes harvesting a cinch. Thanks to the Worm Wigwam, I now know how mediocre the other systems I've used were. Our worms are consistently active and energetic, and our compostable waste disappears like a ham hock in a piranha tank. One of our co-workers up by Lake Almanor was so impressed by our Worm Wigwam that she bought one of her own and raves about how well it's working for her. On receiving the WW, I was pleased to see that the instructions were simple and the parts were high-quality and heavy-duty. Last winter, our WW was torn apart by a hungry bear. We were relieved that the construction was so rugged, because it just popped back together again good as new! The environment inside the bin is consistently ideal. The humidity is stable, and with the addition of the heater, our WW is a wonderful year-round composting solution. We found that the thermostat on the replacement heater you sent was running hot. Since our summers are so warm, we didn't need the heater anyway. Now that winter has moved in, we added a Dwyer TS-13010 industrial temperature control to the heater which is keeping the bin at a comfortable 64 degrees, even in a Sierra Nevada winter. Thanks for such a great product! Sincerely, Joe and Kathy Bly Carson Valley, NV

"This is the best vericomposting system that I have seen to date. Anyone interested in vermicomposting to accomplish organic waste diversion, education and/pr research should definitely consider the Worm Wigwam. Two years later and ours are still diverting tons of organic waste from the landfill."
Dick Sloan, of the National Institute of Health.

The Worm-Wigwam has kept me in the worm business. I was going to give it up because it was just to much work. Then I found the Worm-Wigwam and everything changed for the good. I'm now having the time of my life growing and selling worms without the intense labor I was going through before.
Thanks EPM.

I have been using the wigwam for about 3 months. It sure is a lot better than using barrels or wooden boxes. Separating the castings
from the worms or worms from the castings was always a real problem and a hassle. With
the wigwam I just turn the crank and let the castings fall through. There are a few worms that are stubborn and hate to go to the top but the numbers
are very small and mostly baby or juvenile worms. Very slick operation. Here in northern Nevada the days are hot and nights are cool in the
summer. With the wigwam the temperature in the bed stays at a very even temperature , unlike barrels or boxes. It is getting cold at nights now and
the wigwam is staying at about 75 degrease. When I started the wigwam I was feeding the worms grain and cow manure and using
peat moss as bedding. It worked very well and the worms seamed to like it. After talking to you on the phone I switched to kitchen waste and some vegetable waste from a local
supermarket and used cow manure as bedding and the worms seamed to like it even better and are growing bigger and reproducing
faster.
I would like to thank you for your help. If I would have forgot all I knew about raising worms and followed the instructions to start with I would of had a much more productive worm business from the start. I am in the process of moving to Colorado and I am taking the worms and wigwam with me. I will let you know how the move went and how the worms are doing when I get settled.
Thank you again for all your help.

p.s. the WIGWAM is worth every penny. A very slick worm factory.
