How to create a Vermicomposting bin at home

There are 5 steps to create the vermicomposting bin we produce here at Concorida Univeristy

Step 1: Using a large sealable bin drill holes all around the lower area of the bin as well as onto the center of the lid. (Look at the pictures in the album)

Step2: Using a glue gun (don't be shy on the glue) cover the holes inside the bin with a geotextile lining making sure all little possible holes where insects could enter are sealed off. This will allow for air to enter the system while keeping insects and other pests out! This should be done on the lid as well.

Step 3: Sew a geotextile bag large enough to cover the bottom area of the bin, within the bag insert small rocks. This will allow for any excess water to drain.

Step 4: With the geotextile around all holes as well as the geotextile bag full or rocks is placed at the bottom of the bin fill the bin half way with soil. (Soil from the garden is not recommended because it could introduce bugs into your system.)

Step5: The last step is to insert the red wriggler worms into the moistened soil of the bin

Now you have just made your own vermicomposting bin! Hope all goes well and if you have any questions do not hesitate to ask or share!!
