EZ How to Make a FREE Worm Factory (video)

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9r7eEPfGjR8 This dude has the right idea!  While I doubt this works as well as an actual Worm Factory (short, stacking trays), it's still a great start to see what you think of vermicomposting. This is more or less the same process as building your own worm bin from a Rubbermaid tub.  If you use 2 tubs (the bottom tub is for collecting leachate), it will basically function in the same manner as this. In my experience, worms do better in a shallow environment, so a short Rubbermaid tub would most likely outperform a bucket... however, whichever you can get your hands on is the best for you.  Go to any grocery store and ask for some food grade plastic buckets (food grade means the plastic doesn't leach into the…

I kinda forgot about the Worm Factory 360.  It's been on the market for a while now, but I never paid attention to it since I started with making my own bin anyway. I was hanging out at my friend Brian's house, and he wanted me to take a look at his worm system in the basement.  I had noticed a few flies in his house before he led me downstairs, and I figured they were from his Worm Factory...I was right. I…
