## Overview

The FCMP Outdoor Essential Living Composter is a 2-tray vermicomposting system designed for year-round indoor use. Featuring a moisture control water retention channel, 52 angled migration tunnels, and 360-degree aeration support points, it creates an optimal environment for worms to efficiently convert food scraps into nutrient-rich compost. The unit also collects worm tea, a natural liquid fertilizer, and is constructed from durable, BPA-free recycled polypropylene. Perfect for eco-conscious professionals seeking a clean, odor-free, and sustainable composting solution.

## Description

Building on the tremendous success of the original “Classic” Living Composter, the Essential Living Composter offers all the same design features at a budget friendly price. 1) A moisture control water retention channel runs around the outside of each tray. Instead of allowing the liquids to fall directly through the tray this channel gathers moisture to prevent the bedding from drying out along the edges. 2) When it’s time to expand your living composter a collection of 52 angled tunnels extend down from the base of each tray directly into the bedding of the tray below. This provides ample opportunity for worms to migrate between trays. 3) Aeration is important for happy worms and good compost. A series of support points are molded into the lower edge of the trays. This raises the trays slightly allowing 360 degrees of airflow across the bedding. In addition to our proprietary features both models of the Living Composter have all the features traditionally found in top end vermicomposters. 1) 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. 2) The speed and efficiency of the vermicomposting process keeps typical composing odor to a minimum and allows the unit to be kept inside and used year-round. 3) Constructed from BPA free, UV inhibited, recycled polypropylene the plastic is contact safe and will not degrade if outside under direct sunlight. (2-Tray Version) ***Does not come with worms.***

Review: This is my first time vermicomposting, so I don’t have a lot of experience but I thought this bin was perfect. Very easy to set up, comes with starter bedding and coconut coir to get you started. It also looks very nice, absolutely no one would know that I have 1000+ worms in my apartment. I’ve had this bin for about 3 months and my worms are thriving, I’m getting compost, and no smell! For context I live in a 2 person apartment so no leaves or yard scraps being added to the bin. Just weekly cooking scraps and some small garden trimmings.
Review: I love this set up so much! The worms really do migrate to the top level when the bottom one is full and this makes getting the waste material so much easier than just using a single layer bin. The bin holds a lot of red wiggler worms. If you are purchasing them, starting with the standard bag they sell would be perfect. Final thoughts, this is a great set up for kids, small spaces, and for teaching about composting. I initially bought one for my work with adults who have intellectual disabilities and loved it so much I bought one for me. I've had worm composters in the past and they were cumbersome and eventually I gave up. This one makes it easy to use and care for, I have no issues with odor or bugs, and I can see when the worms are migrating up. Very exciting 😊

*by U***S on 3 March 2025*

Im Winter bin ich zu faul den Kaffeesatz, die Eierschalen und die Bananenschalen in den Garten zu tragen. (Alles andere kommt in den Biomüll). Der so entstandene Dünger ruht darin bis zum Frühjahr auf dem Balkon und wird dann an die Pflanzen ausgebracht. Ich habe das Produkt ohne Würmer genutzt, die sind im Garten. Die Farbe war auch ausschlaggebend, denn die Welt hat Angst vor LILA und weigert sich im Beige-Grau-Wahn Farbe herzustellen. Endlich Lila!
