If more traditional composters aren’t your style, try out this composting bag from Urban Worm Company instead. The bag—made of a breathable fabric—can attach to the plastic stand, with an opening at the top for food scraps and waste. Once it’s fully loaded, the compost can be emptied from the bottom in four to six months.

The bag is sturdy and odorless, so there’s no need to worry about any worms or compost seeping out. While this can be used inside, it’s on the larger side (and not exactly gorgeous), so it may be a better bet for outdoor use.

If you’re looking to dip your toes into the world of worm composting, then this bin is a great choice. It comes with four stacking trays—which can be used all at once or on their own—as well as a collection base and lid. Included with the composter is a little worm ladder, allowing your squirmy friends to easily move to new sections to process waste.

The bin is relatively easy to assemble, and once you’ve decided how many trays you’d like to use, just fill them up with food scraps, worms, and let the composting process begin. The base will collect any excess waste, debris, or worms so that they don’t make their way into your home.
