I know vermicomposting is the bomb but how did you get started doing it or how do you have it set up? I have seen all sorts of stuff online like people making bins out of weather treated wood with screen lids. The box is filled with leaves and stuff. They say you can put anything biodegradable in the bin and the wormies munch it.

LiveVibe... Vermicomposting is pretty easy. Your bin can be a Rubbermaid 5 gallon storage tote or make out of wood. Either will work. You can feed worms any biodegradeable matter, but on dairy, meat or spicy foods.
.
Here is a link to a site that can answer most of your questions. It's for kids, but really has good info & covers everything. So, be a kid for a few minutes and enjoy - I did :

The Adventures of Herman the Worm
.
Hope this helps..

Your welcome. I glad you didn't mind Herman the Worm.
.
Herman appeals to the kid in me, plus the info is solid.

Opps.. I just noticed I put "on" instead "no" dairy, meat or spicy foods in that previous post. I need to pay more attention. So, I'll cut back to two bong hits, vice three or four, before surfing & posting... LOL

Keep it Real...Organic...

Wow green that Herman site was really helpful and easy to understand. I saw some stuff on TV and the web but it was not in normal people terms LOL. I am going to try it with the plastic bin. I guess the worms need to be ordered.

How come I see "earthworm castings" but the page says earthworms do not dig the box. Earthworm castings are the best shit I hear.

What kind of worms do you use?

Earthworms prefer living in the soil, like your yard or garden; because they borough deep. Redworms (aka - manure worms) are happy living under cow manure, so to them the box is a step up. Plus they don't mind crowding, earthworms do.
.
You can order redworms (composting worms) mail order or buy them as pan fish or trout worms at bait shops.

Plus if you feed them the left over alfalfa dust / pellets from your rabbit feed (since, I read your starting a rabbit farm)- you get the added bonus of Triacontanol - a naturally occuring plant growth stimulant found in alfalfa. Triacontanol survives the trip through the Bunny and is found in decent amounts in Bunny Poop.... see reading the Organics Thread is Good !!!

Yes Worms are great. Nothing made by Big-Agri or Big Hydro Fert Companies comes close to Nature. Worm Castings are a perfect soil amendment, perfect for starting plants and as a maintenance tea. Everyone who uses them is happy with the results. They are full of trace minerals & friendly bacteria / fungi.
