KATE – The upper dimensions are 15″ x 15″ and the volume is approx 2 cu ft. Worms will never reproduce so much that they will completely outgrow their space. Breeding will slow down once conditions are starting to get crowded. A system like this could likely be kept going indefinitely – although you could certainly freshen it up by periodically removing a proportion of the material/worms and replacing with new food/bedding.
When enough liquid builds up it will drain out the bottom. I’ve had Worm Inns that have never drained anything, but my most recent one has drained a fair bit due to the fact that I added a LOT of fruit/veggie waste for the first little while. I put a small tub below it to catch the drain liquid.

JOAN – It measures 15 x 15″ (just in case you miss what I wrote to Kate). You could likely have it in your pantry so long as it never gets cold enough that everything freezes solid. Keep in mind though – the colder it is the slower the composting process will be. If you are down below 60 F the worms will be very sluggish

What are the dimensions of the Worm Inn Pro?
and
Would you advise for/against setting the Inn up in my large pantry during our very cold (northern New England) winter months?

What are the size and volume of the system? How long is it estimated before the worms reproduce too much to be comfortable in that space? How does drainage happen? where does liquid from the drainage flow to?

Hi Rosy – looks like a TOTALLY missed this comment. Sorry about that.
The Worm Inn does not come with a stand, or any sort of hanging apparatus, but either of these is pretty easy to come by. You can hang the system up quite well using bungee cords, and as Robyn demonstrates in the picture above, a cheap laundry hamper stand (from Target, I believe) works great as well. I personally prefer the stand option since the system can then be moved around easily.

Hi,
The Stand shown with the Worm Inn Pro looks very convenient. Is it included in the price?
