DIY Compost Worm Bin

Back in April, I shared 14 Reasons to Have Compost Worms. A few people asked how they could get started with compost worms.

First, you should know that “raising” compost worms, like red wigglers, is VERY, VERY… easy.

As I see it, the vermicomposting cycle goes like this:

1. Prepare a compost worm bin.
2. Acquire compost worms.
3. Maintain a healthy compost worm bin environment.
4. Prepare additional compost worm bins right before you harvest the castings and compost.
5. Harvest the castings (worm poo) and compost.
6. Divide the worm population (a much larger population than you started with) into the fresh compost worm bins.
7. Use the castings and compost.

Today, we’ll cover the first step: prepare a compost worm bin.
