Setting up a Rubbermaid Worm Composting Bin

by admin on February 26, 2010

If you want compost by this spring/summer, now is a good time to set up a worm bin.

I apologize for all the super close up shots.  I was home for lunch and made this video quickly when I found my worms had arrived at the Post Office.

The rubbermaid worm bin is probably the easiest bin to start with.

  • It requires minimum tools and skills with tools to pull off
  • worms can’t escape
  • moisture self-regulating

I forgot to mention that you will need something underneath the bin for moisture to drain onto.  I have mine set up on top of overturned coffee cups on top of a bin lid I’m not using.

Good luck, and feel free to post any questions or comments below.
