Worms and Gardening, Part 2

Making your own Worm Bin
In part 1 of Worms and Gardening, we talked about what vermiculture was and how beneficial it is to use worm compost in the garden.  If you missed it, check out the post here.  There are also a few links on the bottom of the post to get additional information about vermiculture.  So, now that you know all about worm composting, this post will show you how to set up your own worm poo making factory. :)

This is a great setup for someone limited with space, just want a small factory, or just want to try things out for starters.

What you need:

2 plastic bins (with lids) -- Make sure to get non clear ones.
material for bedding -- I used an old phonebook.
handful of soil
red wigglers (also known as red worms)
food for your worms

Worms and Gardening, Part 1

I've decided to make this a 2 part series because it just seems like a whole lot of info just for one post.  We start this series with learning about vermiculture and the benefits that these wigglers bring to our gardens.  We end the two part series by learning how to make our own worm bin, and how to use the bin.  So let's start.
