In this video I teach you how to build a worm bin & turn food scraps, cardboard boxes & junk mail into compost for your garden with composting worms! It is super easy to make a worm bin & it can fit any home, apartment, classroom, college dorm, RV or tiny home. While diverting garbage from your local landfill you will be making natural fertilizer for your garden or indoor plants, cycling nutrients back into the soil.
Anyone can vermicompost and I take you step by step from how to make a worm bin, how to prepare the bedding, how much to feed, how often to feed and where to get your red wiggler or other composting worms. This video has everything you need to get started.
Learning vermiculture is so fun you won't want to stop at just one bin! The wonderful worm castings you get from your tiny worm bin will be so good for your garden or seed starting or potting mix.
