| The VermiBag Mini is our most popular system and was made with Teachers and Parents in mind. The VermiBag Mini is not too big or too small and can easily fit into your kitchen or other living area without being intrusive. With over 2 Cubic Feet of Volume and about 1.6 SF of surface area, it can still support a fairly large worm population. It will process all the organic wastes from most typical smaller households of 2-4 once you get the system running with a good worm population. As with all VermiBags, it is a flow thru system, meaning you “feed the top and harvest the bottom”. There is no need to empty the entire contents of the bag to harvest. You simply open the exclusive Zippered Harvest Panel on the bottom of the bag and harvest the finished castings. The zipper is protected by our unique design.
The VermiBag Mini offers the option VermiWindow, which allows you to take a look into the world of the worms. Specifications:

BuffaloNY –
We’ve had our mini since May 2019 and it’s handled the compostable waste from a family of 4 for that entire time, producing rich castings for our raised beds. The bag and built in window remain intact, we probably won’t ever need to buy another one, but if the need arose this one would be at the top of our list because it has worked so well for us vs. the various versions of “worm farms” we’d tried before which really did not.
We keep ours in the basement so the worms are active and producing all year round and for us that location works quite well. The only time we’ve had a problem has been when we didn’t remove castings from the bottom early enough and the fertilizer-rich fluid from the upper layers dried out in the bottom few inches to make a solid block of fertilizer. This is something that can likely happen in all of the flow through worm composters, but is easily avoided by just keeping the bottom zipper closed when you are not harvesting, remembering to harvest your castings once a month and once you’ve done that pressing on the sides of the bag to encourage the bottom to loosely fill again from the layer above. This takes about 10 mins to complete. We keep one of those black plastic, deep wall concrete mixing trays from home Depot under the bag so that any leachate and the castings fall straight into it as we harvest. It’s the perfect size for this and helps keep the floor under the bag clean.
WOne last tip for those considering the Mini, we ended up building a taller stand for ours to make it easier to work at the bottom of the bag. I think we added 6 inches to the height in the end and that made a world of difference for us..
Highly recommend this product because in our hands it worked far better than the various worm farm tray based systems and was far cleaner.
