Worm composting

What we need for worm composting

• a plastic storage bin, with holes in the lid for ventalation (it should be 24 inches (61 cm)
• If your compost is too we use a burlap sack as a cover
• To prepare the box for the compost/worms fill it with strips of newspaper, cardboard, and grass clippings
• Sprinkle it with dirt and water, and allow it to soak through for at least a day before you put the worms in
• Get worms
• keep bin elevated from the ground, on bricks
• If you keep the compost damp you don't have to worry about the worms escaping
  
• Sprinkle the surface with water every day
• Feed your worms vegetable scraps once a week
• Feeding them lightly will often produce more worms
• Add more newspaper, cardboard and other fibers once a month

How to harvest compost ( from Wikihow.com)

"Put on rubber gloves, and move any large un-composted vegetable matter to one side. Then, with your gloved hands, gently scoop a section of worms and compost mixture onto a brightly lit piece of newspaper or plastic wrap. Scrape off the compost in layers. Wait a while giving the worms time to burrow into the center of the mound. Eventually you will end up with a pile of compost next to a pile of worms. Return the worms to the bin, do whatever you want with the compost, and repeat"
