Sun, 11 May 2008  What combines the responsibility of green living with the earthiness of composting, allows you to be the most inattentive and lazy pet owner since the days of Sea Monkeys, and fits under your kitchen sink? Vermiculture, my friend. It's composting that squirms. With nothing but some shredded newspaper, a cheap plastic storage container, and 25 bucks in worms we bought online, we're turning our kitchen scraps to organic soil in the comfort of our own home. We'll show you how in this video, from start to the point when our dog threw up. Direct download: Days_Off_17_-_How_to_Start_a_Worm_Bin_part_1.m4v Category: How To -- posted at: 2:26 PM Comments[4] |
Some thoughts on your worm bin - the worms don't like light, so the clear bin is not great. might want to paint it so it's more opaque. Also, I don't know if fruit flies are a problem where you are, but I've found they love to breed in my bin. I cut a few larger holes, and covered them with fine screen, which solved the problem. Oh, and try out shredded cardboard. It doesn't get all matted up like newspaper. Happy composting!
Thanks for the comments. You're right about the translucency of the container, although we had planned to keep ours in a dark pantry, so that shouldn't be much of an issue for our bin. We're going to give some heavy-duty paper or cardboard a try since the newspaper does seem to get soggy and clotted. A new episode is coming soon!
