Start a worm bin indoors

  1. 1

    Set up the bedding first.

    Shredded damp cardboard and newspaper, a handful of soil, in a ventilated bin with drainage.

  2. 2

    Add composting worms, not garden worms.

    Red wigglers eat waste; earthworms tunnel soil. The species is the difference between a bin and a grave.

  3. 3

    Feed little and buried.

    Vegetable scraps under the bedding, a corner at a time. No meat, dairy, citrus piles or onions.

  4. 4

    Keep it wrung-sponge damp.

    Too wet drowns and smells; too dry stalls. Cardboard corrects both directions.

  5. 5

    Harvest castings by migration.

    Feed one side only for two weeks; the worms move over and the finished side lifts out.

#1 becomes the Core. This atoma is young: submit a better distillation and take the seat.

No gear needed. Your pot, a timer and ice are enough. That is the point.
