Apartment and condominium dwellers interested in using worm composting for their kitchen scraps usually don’t have the space to hide the ugly containers. A good solution is Vermicondo, a sleek multi-level stainless steel container designed by Levitt Goodman Architects to suit contemporary kitchen cabinetry. The worms are “upwardly mobile,” eating their way from the bottom layer full of worm bedding and food waste to the top layer. They leave behind organic soil, thus saving the need to “muck through worm leftovers”. Right at the top of the Vermicondo is a “rooftop garden” of wheatgrass or whatever else catches your fancy. Perhaps herbs or some indoor plants? The Vermicondo retails for $1,500 which translates to true luxury living for worms and a pile of the most expensive organic soil around.

I would buy this in a heartbeat if I were investing in a new home, but the thing I wonder about is the smell... |

I think the trick might be to chop up the kitchen scraps really fine first so as to give the worms a head start... |

| I live in a house with a yard, but would buy this in a minute as well. I have bought books on composting and have investigated starting both indoor and outdoor composing, but it always sounded like a lot of mess and work. The sleek design of this unit is very appealing. It doesn't look like it would be messy. It actually looks like it would be very easy to do. The only sticking point that I have is the price. IKEA... where are you? If any one has contacts to IKEA tell them to make a less expensive version and I will be their first customer!!!! |
