Worm bins turn kitchen scraps into rich worm castings, even in an apartment.
Basics
- Use red wigglers, not garden earthworms
- Start with damp shredded newspaper or cardboard bedding
- Feed small amounts of chopped scraps, buried in the bedding
- Avoid citrus, onions, meat, dairy and oily foods
- Keep the bin out of direct sun and freezing temperatures
