What's the best container I can buy for indoor worm composting in a small space?

I like to use similar plastic containers. These are cheap and come in all sizes. They are also available at most stores. Just follow the directions on this website.

   I prefer to use compost worm bins made of wood. The wood breathes better than plastic and absorbs excess moisture, which can foul a worm colony. Wood will break down slowly, but it should last many years.

   I have photos of the worm bins I build and use on my blog:

   I tried a styrofoam cooler when I first started with vermicomposting, but I didn’t find it to work well. I’d also be concerned about the styrofoam breaking down and leaching chemicals into the compost.
