Compost systems range from a basic worm bin for $25 to deluxe containers, which sell upwards of $500. One colourful system even won a gold medal in the 2020 Good Design Awards in Australia, which highlights the best new products and services in that country.
The City of Vancouver sells basic bins for $25 through City Farmer, which also has a demonstration garden in its Kitsilano location. Volunteers give visitors a tour of the different types of composters and answer visitors’ questions around where to start.
Scot Bathgate has been selling worm composters for almost a decade and has seen sales steadily increase in that time.
