![]() If you can find someone with an established worm bin, it’s easy for them to pull out a handful of worms to share. If you’d like to stick closer to home, though, talk with your local garden club or farmers market people. They thrive in worm bins and gobble up the kitchens scraps that you generate. (I’ve done both over the years.) Where to get composting worms Simply use the same method with larger Rubbermaid containers. Larger households will generate more waste than this size bin can handle. The worms will have migrated up and you can use the castings directly from the worm bin.Ī worm bin of this size is best suited to a single person or couple. When the contents of the first bucket are no longer recognizable, simply pull out the middle bucket and use the rich worm castings on your potted plants or in your garden. I’d use an old t-shirt or bath towel to fill any gaps. You may need to wrap the space between the buckets to prevent fruit flies. The worms will slowly migrate up through the holes. Make sure the top bucket rests on the waste in the bucket below. Just drill holes and add moist newspaper and scraps to the new bin like you did during set up, and set it onto the stack. When the top bucket begins to get full, you can add a second perforated bucket. If you’re doing it right, it does not stink. This easy vermicompost bin takes up about a square foot of space and fits under most kitchen sinks. If you have a bigger outdoor bin, bedding and manure from chickens, rabbits, and other farm animals.Soak these in water and then drain before adding to the worm bin. Items like shredded newspaper, paper egg cartons, office paper, or takeout boxes. Remove any plastic windows or tape before adding. Human hair or fur from animal grooming.Coffee grounds and loose tea or tea bags.Go light on citrus and if you add anything meaty, be sure to bury it to avoid odors. Leftover kitchen scraps including fruit and vegetable peelings.The worms will multiply based on how much food is made available to them. Once a brown base develops under the bedding (this is the worm castings, aka worm poop), you should be able to add a bit more. Add 2-3 cups or so every couple of weeks. While your wormery is getting established, don’t overdo it on adding waste.
