DIY Worm Compost Bin

DIY Worm Compost Bin: Worms can compost kitchen scraps and shredded paper much faster than the aerobic compost process utilized in most commercial backyard compost bins. A vermicomposting (worm composting) bin can be built with a couple of stackable totes, a small piece of window screen, and a drill.

One great benefit of vermicompost is that it's completely self-contained so you can compost if you're in an apartment. Vegetable and fruit scraps and shredded paper go in, and a few weeks later you have worm casings and compost which you can apply to your potted plants, give to friends, or put on plants in a city park.
