How Do You Set Up A Red Worm Habitat?

If a small outdoor space limits your ability to start a compost heap, you can easily create an indoor composting bin with the help of redworms. These natural composters are easy to care for with the right habitat in place, and they convert kitchen waste into rich fertilizer for indoor and outdoor gardens all year long. The key to successfully creating compost in your home is setting up a redworm habitat that keeps the worms healthy. Drill holes in the sides and bottom of the bin to allow for air circulation and water drainage. Use a 1/4-inch drill bit so the worms will not escape. Add shredded paper for the worms’ bedding. Mix in some sterile soil or sand to add grit. Moisten the bedding, but do not over-saturate it. When you can squeeze a few drops of water from some of the paper, you have the right amount of water. Calculate the number of worms you need for your average kitchen waste. Two pounds of worms will eat one pound of scraps. Add the worms. Feed the worms using kitchen scraps
