The Secret to Simple Vermicomposting: The Worm Inn

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FpWnZP0YDbU The Worm Inn Mega makes vermicomposting a no-brainer...it can handle more material, more effectively. Yep, it really is that simple. The main difference between the Worm Inn Mega and a plastic bin is the breathability... no matter how many holes you drill in a plastic bin, it won't equal the awesomeness of a Cordura sack. Now, I'm not hating on plastic bins by any means...they're great to get a handle on the process and they do work. However, you'll be able to process a lot more waste with the Inn, plain and simple.

Getting started with the Worm Inn Pt. 2

So today I completed the Worm Inn, and I didn't even use the stand anyway. I went out and got the piping to build the stand, spent the time cutting it with my new vise that I hardly use, and had a lot of fun doing it. While I was cutting it, I realized that I don't really need it. Hanging it from the ceiling was cool enough, and then I found a killer spot for it: BAM! So good. This area of my basement was filled with junk, and now it's transformed into my waste processing station. How cool is that? So now I'm left with a stand...who wants it?

Getting started with the Worm Inn Pt. 1

All right, I can't wait any longer. I should have a review up by the end of this weekend (Review can be found by clicking HERE). Get this: With my order I got the optional stand kit which consists of corners and zipties, and then you go to your local hardware store for the 3/4" pipe lengths (It makes shipping easier for the Worm Inn guy). I went to two hardware stores, and neither would cut the pipe into the lengths I needed. My advice for you bikers out there, is to have someone drive you so you can pick up the 10' long pipes, or take a hacksaw and tape measure with you and cut the pieces on your own outside the building. I, of course, did neither so…
