Worm Composting Fun for the Family
If you?re thinking about starting up a family-friendly composting project, why not consider doing one that involves worms? That?s right, worm composting, also known as vermicomposting, is a fun-filled way to get the compost you desire for your garden. All you and your kids have to do is keep the worms happy by feeding them and they?ll do all the work for you. Here?s how you get started: All you need is a plastic 10 gallon worm bin with drainage holes on the bottom (home made or store bought is just fine), a tight fitting lid to keep the worms in the dark, moist bedding made out of one inch newspaper strips or sawdust, a pound of red wiggler worms that you can get from your local fish bait shop or from internet retailer sites like Composters.com, and some food waste like banana peels, fruit rinds and vegetable stalks. Be sure to keep in mind that this will get a bit messy, so it might be best to do this outside especially if you?re children are going to be involved. If it gets messy, it?s okay! Start by halfway filling the worm bin with the newspaper strips; moisten the strips once you?ve reached the halfway mark. Once the newspaper is damp, push it to one side of the bin and repeat the process until the bin is full but not entirely packed and make sure there are no standing puddles collecting at the bottom. Add half a cup of sawdust or soil so that the worms have some grit to work with. Go ahead and add your pound of worms and watch as they wiggle their way down into the soil and newspaper. Next, bury your food waste into the bedding a few inches deep and cover the bedding with a five page blanket of damp newspapers. After a few days you should notice some positive results ? the worms are digging in and out of the bedding, eating the food waste, soil and newspaper, digesting it and leaving behind worm castings (explain to your kids that it?s poop!). It?s the worm castings that you really want for your garden. To keep your worms happy keep adding food wastes every few days or so and they?ll keep producing that rich black gold for you. Have fun and don?t be afraid to get down and dirty!
