Worm composting (or vermicomposting) is a natural and efficient way to recycle your organic kitchen waste. Even in cold northern climates, where outdoor compost piles lie dormant in the winter, you can compost your food scraps indoors with worms, and reduce the volume of your household garbage by as much as 25 percent. The end result is unsurpassed as an organic soil builder and plant fertilizer. Worm composting is easy, rewarding, and fun. Given the right environment and a little routine attention, a handful of worms will multiply rapidly and digest your kitchen scraps faster than any other composting method. To get started, you will need a properly designed worm bin, bedding material, some water and food scraps, and a crew of hungry worms.
About Worms
Red Worms (Lumbricus Rubellus) are ideal for composting kitchen scraps. Unlike many other species, Red Worms will thrive in the confinement of a composting bin, digesting organic material quickly, and reproducing prolifically. If you have ordered Red Worms, approximately two pounds of worms will arrive in different stages of growth. They lose lots of weight and moisture in the shipping and handling process, but will return to their normal weight within 7 to 10 days.
