How to Make a Worm Compost Bin

Starting a worm compost bin is not hard at all. The worms will do all the hard work you just need to make them a home. Worm castings as they are called is great food for all plants, they will love you for it. Any container roughly 2ft by 2ft is large enough but you can go bigger. Good aeration is very important, worms are just like you and me they need to breathe air. There is one small difference they actually breathe through their skin.

That is why a good moist environment is really important. Dry skin is really uncomfortable for them. But you want to be careful not to drown them. The common name for the most commonly used worm is the Red Wiggler. The scientific name is the Eisensia fetida. They usually measure from 1.5 to 2.5 inches in length.

Things that they love to eat include leftover Watermelon, Pie filling, they really love pumpkin and corn meal. there are a few other things you can try to see what they like. Such as Coffee Grounds and Filters, Tea Leaves and Bags, Apples, Beans, Lettuce, Rice, Pancakes and Cantaloupe.

Tear them up into small bits for easy consumption. You can try freezing food scraps then thawing them out to soften them for easier digesting. Bury newly added food a few inches to deter fruit flies and other pests.

A worm compost bin is an excellent choice for those that live in apartment or have a very limited space. It takes up very little room and it produces good amounts of worm castings.
