Can I ask (without being flamed ) what is a worm bin?? could this be my next researching project??
Sure!! Why would you possibly be flamed??
A worm bin is an indoor compost system...well, it can be outdoors if you live in an always warm climate. Basically, you get a small bin (about the size of on of those larger rubbermaid containers), make lots of airholes and drainage holes, fill it with shredded newspaper as bedding, and add 1 to 2 lbs of red wiggler worms (which equals 1000 to 2000 worms). And then you feed then your kitchen compost!! They can eat about a pound of waste a day, more if you have a larger bin and more worms.
And the worm castings they produce are some of the most nutritious compost that you can put on your plants. And you are not filling the landfills with foods that are easily biodegradable.
let me know if you have more questions!!
