This is a handy little worm composter.
It is easy to make and will fit under your sink or in a closet.
With about ½ pound of worms you should be able to compost most of your (non meat) foods and a lot of your paper trash.
What you will need to build this worm bucket.
5 gallon bucket
hardware cloth
window screen
¾” PVC pipe 2”long you will need 6
2” PVC pipe 2” long
valve (optional)
Tools:
Drill
Saw or pipe cutter
1 1/2” drill bit
Silicone caulk
Drill bit for the valve if you want one.
NOTE if you don't put in a valve you will need to drill small holes in the bottom to let the extra watter out. If you chose that you will also need to use a bucket to catch the water.
I will be posting more about worms so check back often. I will also tell you how to use your worm castings and how to make “worm tea” for your plants.
