How to Make a Worm Bin New in HD
How to Make a Worm Bin by Patti Moreno, the Garden Girl A worm bin is a perfect solution for anybody with a small patio or garden. It also works well for condo dwellers where there are rules and regulations against composting. The worm castings (or worm poo) make the best natural fertilizer, and its power can be extended by brewing up worm tea to apply when watering all your plants. Not only is it great for your garden, but it will help reduce waste in landfills by getting your kitchen scraps to work for you and your edible landscape. At home, I compost kitchen scraps, leaves, and other green matter. My neighbors bring me their leaves, and grass clippings even though Ive encouraged them to compost the materials for themselves. Then I convert the waste into energy. Goodbye, petrochemical poison. Hello, black gold. There are lots of great products on the market to compost kitchen scraps indoors, from super sleek under the counter models to the basic DIY worm bin that I have. Worm bin you say? Why yes, I am a worm farmer and you can be, too. Youll need a storage bin (not clear) with two lids, one for the top and one for the bottom to catch any fluid. Put 1/4inch holes on the bottom of the bin and along the lip to allow for airflow. Line the bottom with cardboard and fill with a thick layer of shredded newspaper and moisten with water, 1 quart of soil to help the composting process, and a pound of red wiggler worms. Place the bin in a dark area like a pantry or closet in a …

I gave her my worm tea

Sorry. Good effort, but not explained and demonstrated well enough. Should be using only red worms or other vermicomposting worms. Not worms out of the garden. Soil dwelling worms don’t live in only organic matter. And what you are doing is vermicomposting (raising worms to make worm manure), not vermiculture (raising worms to multiply them).
Would it be alright to add in your rabbit’s litter box or rat/ mouse cage cleanout? my enclosures are only lined with phone books or news paper. I’m sure they are fine in the compost but could it be bad for worms?
This morning when I opened my bin there was mold in it. Can you tell me why and will it hurt the worms?

Hey Patti, enjoying your vid but interrupted my pleasure for a mo’ just to ask, did you forget to mention a need for knee pads in this project?
Btw a friend of ours invested thousands in what was expected to be a highly profitable business selling worms for fish bait . . but they sent her the WRONG worms and she couldn’t give them away fast enough to keep up with the (worm) population explosion in her basement.
As luck would have it, her home burned to the ground & she’ll never raise worms again

subbed indeed!
2 cool!!!
2 cool!!!!
so why are those particular worms the best for that project, and how long will it take to actually be able to have usable compost? i like this idea.
@rustyjoints
In the top lid? No. But she did drill holes around the top sides just below the lid. This allows sufficient ventilation though I’m a fan of overkill and would have put a few more in. Don’t forget, you can drill more holes if necessary, but you can’t plug holes very well so drill few, if that’s not sufficient, add a few. You’ll figure out what works.
Neumím anglicky používám p?eklada?. P?i kompostování novinového papíru se p?ece uvol?ují z n?ho t?žké tiska?ské barvy a kovy, ty z?stávají v p?d? a v živo?išných druzích zví?at . Chápu, že u kv?tin to lidem neškodí.
I have two questions.. one is that I live in a place where we recycle newspaper and junk mail.. do you think it’s better to recycle or are they really helpful for my compost?
the next question is.. my compost is outside, in my backyard, in a small 4×4 fenced in area.. should I add earth worms to it? Should I stir the compost every so often?
Yikes, I’m too squemish to do this, but I would like to overcome. great idea. But what about maintenance? How often do you water? Get the compost out without removing the worms, how much does it make? Need more info please
