Worm Composting

Marjory Wildcraft of Backyard Food Production brings us a video interview of how to build a worm composting bin.  Worm composting, or vermiposting, is a way to create compost on a fast track.  The worms tend to work quicker than a traditional compost pile, and they add their lovely castings (poop) to the mix, which plants adore.  You can create a worm bin on a small scale in a covered bucket under your sink, or on a larger scale as you see in the video.  The concept is exactly the same.  You'll simply vary the amount of worms that you add to your container based on its size, and monitor its moisture level to ensure the worms are in a "just right" environment.  There are a lot of ways to vermipost, and it doesn't have to be complicated.  If you've never tried it before, start by checking out this video, look up the mountain of information out there on worm composting, and always remember that you can post your questions here.  If we can't find an answer from our own experience, we'll find someone who can!
