In Which? magazine's 'On Test: Wormeries & Bokashis', (Sept 2009), this product Scored 71% and achieved 'Best Buy' status. Here's what they had to say: Only opt for this wormery if you're happy to handle worms! To remove compost, you need to pick out all the worms, then put them back. On a day-to-day basis, however, this model proved easier to look after than our other Best Buy. Its tap never blocked so draining it was easy (once it was raised up on a couple of bricks - we didn't buy the optional stand).
The Harrod Superior Large Wormery - to our knowledge - has the largest surface area of any product on the market today. Once a wormery is up and running, the larger its surface area, the faster the composting.
