I have a compost bin outside but have been researching getting a worm composter for inside the house. We have cold weather and snow for many months of the year and I get lazy about going outside in the winter to put the food scraps in the compost bin. I was at a local retail store yesterday and came across a very nice bright green colored plastic worm composter. I was shocked however to find out that it had a $99.99 price tag. I knew there had to be a way to build my own so I did some research this morning on the Instructables website and found a do-it-yourself instructions for building your own vermicomposting system.
Worm composting, vermiculture or vermicomposting all refer to raising worms by feeding them our unwanted vegetable products and then using the worms byproducts (poop) to fertilize and amend our soil. What’s really cool about this process is that if you set it up right, there is no odor so you can have your worm composting system indoors in convenient proximity to the kitchen. I’m really excited about getting this set up at my house this summer.
