I am so happy to have found the box of life!! I am a librarian in Guelph, and decided to add the box of life to my library / learning commons in order to teach students about the importance of worms and composting, and the important cycle that helps our food and plants grow!

The box was so easy to set up, and I can confirm that a month in, it does not smell at all! I love being able to open up the box and show students what is happening with our leftover scraps.

Our plan for the worm castings is to add them to our school vegetable garden, which we grew from seeds!

Thank you to Audra for always offering engaging workshops for our students. Worm culture is growing in the OCSB.

I'm absolutely loving my new Worm Studio from The Box of Life! It's such a clever little system that makes composting indoors actually enjoyable. The design is sleek enough that I don't mind having it in my kitchen corner, and surprisingly, there's zero odors despite what's happening inside that box.

Setup was super straightforward, and while I'm still waiting for my first batch of compost (these things take time!), I can already see the worms happily processing my kitchen scraps. The instruction booklet was really helpful for a beginner like me.

I appreciate how the stackable trays make harvesting easy when the time comes, and the moisture management system seems well-designed. If you're looking to reduce food waste without a garden or outdoor space, this is definitely worth checking out. Can't wait to see my houseplants thriving with homemade worm castings in a few months!

Box of LIfe are always efficient with booking workshops and deliveries of healthy red wigglers. Thank you.

My students and I absolutely love our Box of Life For School. We love checking in on our little wormies, and the students very excitedly hand me scraps of food throughout the week. Feeding time is always exciting as we all gather round to see how things are going. I teach grades 6 and 7 and both groups are equally excited and invested in the worms!

I highly recommend this amazing program - it is so easy to care for the worms (no smell, no fruit flies!!), and it has a huge positive impact.

We had such a wonderful time with our worm school workshops. Audra was a wonderful presenter and was able to really engage the students! The students were so eager to learn about the worms and to be able to keep the worm boxes in their classrooms. I would definitely recommend this workshop to any teacher looking to enhance their students knowledge of composting or environmental impacts/footprints should definitely have The Box of Life at their school!

After working for a few years with Box of Life’s vermicomposter at our community garden, I sponsored several worm farms and workshops for schools over the last two years; it’s wonderful to see the interest that both teachers and students express in diverting food scraps from the landfill, thereby reducing methane gas. Glad to read that the list of interested classrooms is growing. A win-win situation for all.

Good service good quality

Good amount of works per jar.

We are a month in to our vermicomposting adventure and we are in love with our wormies! My toddler loves collecting scraps and deciding what the worms will be fed that week. It’s her job to feed the worms and she looks forward to it every week. She loves them so much I had to stop her putting toys in there for the worms to play with 😆. Akil was quick to answer questions/concerns and provided all the information I needed to confidently start our worm composter. It looks beautiful on our countertop and is very low maintenance - barely takes any time every week to maintain and we haven’t noticed any smell or flies (and our cats have shown zero interest). I look forward to harvesting some nutritious worm castings for our plants and learning more about worms along the way! I recommend them to any playgroup, classroom, family or individual!

My family and I have had our worm bin for about a month now, and we’ve been throughly enjoying every moment of the journey. Sometimes it can be hard to get out and feel connected to nature especially during the winter months in Canada — our Worm Studio has helped immensely with that. I would highly definitely recommend the Box of Life to anyone living in the city or suburbs, where nature is not always accessible to everyone. Our Worm Studio has become a hot-topic of discussion of every guest that has entered our house since we got it, and we are thoroughly impressed with how easy it is to care for and maintain.

Akil and his team take every step to ensure that you are successful. We very much appreciated that he took time out of his busy day to deliver the box to us personally (within the city). It just shows how much he stands by its craftsmanship and its mission. We love how this organization truly represents community-based sustainable living. Thank you Akil & team! You guys rock.

My students were super engaged in the presentation and very excited to have worms in our class. Our presenter answered all questions and explained everything in a clear grade level manner. The students enjoyed learning about the worms and holding them too! They are a part of our classroom and every wormy Wednesday we feed and water them. Thank you The Box of Life.

Great product and amazing service

For School

I was happy to receive a healthy bunch of red wigglers from The Box of Life so that I can produce some fertilizer to use in my garden next spring. A few weeks in, they are busily at work eating my kitchen scraps!
