From VermiHut website:
The VermiHut Plus worm compost bin is the advanced model under the VermiHut. It converts the kitchen food waste from your kitchen into organic fertilizer for your garden. The VermiHut Plus is the next generation of the internationally well-known VermiHut worm bin.
It’s easy to use! Just fill a working tray with worm bedding, red worms and food scraps. As the worms finish consuming the food scraps, they will migrate upward into the tray above, leaving rich castings behind. In ideal conditions, 2lbs or 1kg worms can consume 1 lb or 0.5 kg of food scraps per day on average. A 5-tray worm bin can house 10 lbs or 5 kgs of worms. Therefore, it can help to reduce 5 lbs or 2.5 kgs food scraps per day. The VermiHut Plus provides the perfect capacity for household food waste management.

From a local satisfied user:
We have had a worm bin for a little over a year. We use it for our kitchen vegetable and fruit scraps, shredded paper, and some garden cuttings. One of the benefits is the leachate or “liquid gold” that we collect from the bottom of the bin. We use this liquid to fertilize our plants and have had great results. We mix the leachate with water using 10 parts water to 1 part leachate. It’s great source of fertilizer, beneficial for sick plants and keeps our food scraps out of the landfill.
