Compostbins.com - 3 Tray Worm Bin
It may sound "yucky" to have worms near your kitchen, but it is completely safe, non-toxic, doesn't leave a rotten smell and won't attract bugs. Best of all you can use it year round, put it outside during the summer months and bring it inside when the temperatures drop.
A small worm compost bin will likely cost you less than $100, so shop around to find one that suits your kitchen and household. Most are produced from recycled plastic (I love that) and some will arrive in recyclable, compostable cardboard.
You will need some red wiggler worms, which you must purchase separately and I suggest you buy these locally if possible. The red wigglers, versus those you dig up in your garden or wooded areas are the best type for breaking down vegetable and fruit peelings, newspapers and other types of compostable materials.
Instructions are included with the worm compost bin and some are pretty much hands free, meaning you don't have to add extras to make it work for you. The compost is great for using in your garden, or even in flowerpots. Depending on what you put in the top of the compost bin, it will usually take a few days to a couple weeks for the red wigglers to break down the material, and then you use the castings (worm poop) in your garden or pots.
Find a variety of worm compost bins on Worms4Earth.com and Compost Bins. You don't need to wait, find one which suits your needs and household size and order one today. Be sure to order the worms after your compost bin arrives and you have the soil and water already setup.
Reduce your trash and give back to your flowers and garden, it's economically and environmentally friendly!
