Worm Bin!

Hey all i made a worm bin this winter !, so by the time spring rolls around ill have great Fert for my plants!
I think every one shuld make there own Worm Bin becuase its cheaper and insted of throwing out your food scraps you just feed it to the worms!!

Ya worm bins are great I have one outside in my garden,you should get some chickens if you can we have about five and the worms and poop makes a killer compost

aw sick man
but i live in the city
can u have chickens in the city???

Yeah. If you live in the country

ah damnit, I wrote a sick ass instuctional essay about making a vermicomposter but it got deleted... I got a %100 on that essay.

Oh well. Atleast you tried to help =]

loool
worm castings are the best!

What are the best worms to buy for doing inside the apartment composting? Does anyone do inside worm farming??

I just made a worm bin out of some plywood. For a vertical worm composter, just make two boxes. The bottom box will have holes and screens over the holes and no top. The top bin will have a hardware cloth bottom and a removable top. Put your bedding down in the lower bin (leaves, newspapers, etc), put a balance of nitrogen food (greens) and carbon (dead leaves and other dry stuff). A balanced diet will produce no foul odors. When the worms have finished eating all their food in the bottom, about 4-6 weeks later, put food in the top bin. Since they can crawl through the netting in the second level box, they will all migrate. Look for about 2000 worms (2lbs). 2 lbs. of worms can potentially eat 1 lbs. of food per day, although it's best to let them eat all their food before feeding again. Buy red wigglers or wrigglers, not nightcrawlers.
