Let the Worms Eat Your Garbage!
If you like the idea of composting but have never started because you live in an apartment, don’t create enough waste to bother, or don’t like trudging through the snow in the winter to get to your composter, then Vermicomposting may be for you.
What Is Vermicomposting?
Vermicomposting is, quite simply, composting with worms. The worms commonly used are called “Red Wigglers” - a small red worm with a voracious appetite. A pound of these hungry little wigglers will consume almost a pound of food waste each and every day! The worms live in a box or bin in bedding that is most often made primarily of mulched newsprint.
