Tools and Hardware Reviews of Can O Worms Composter With 1000 Red WormsCustomer Review: A great worm bin, and comes with worms! Summary: 5 Stars
After reading Amy Stewart's book The Earth Moved: On the Remarkable Achievements of Earthworms, I was immediately taken with the idea of inviting these sweet little beasties into my home, or rather my backyard. This is the exact worm bin the author uses at home, though she also recommends other brands, as the worms themselves aren't too fussy. This brand is exceptionally sturdy and has a design that is easy to use.
The only thing that I don't like about this bin is that it is round, so it doesn't seem like it's making the very best use of space like a square or rectangular one would.
Worm castings are great for starting seeds or container gardening of any kind because they are nutritious and help hold moisture in the soil or potting medium. I just scatter my spare castings into my vegetable garden to help improve the soil.
I feed my worms slightly shredded (all vegetable!) kitchen scraps, and the worms are about the lowest-maintenance "pet" I've had. I check on them whenever I add new kitchen scraps, every 3-4 days or so, and they rarely need anything from me beyond their lettuce and melon bits - every couple weeks some new shredded newspaper seems to be called for - other than that, they just churn out worm castings and take care of kitchen scraps in a pretty effortless way!
They don't smell at all, and many folks keep their worm bin in their garage or even under their sink. I keep mine outdoors on a covered porch so it doesn't collect water in winter or get too cold.
If you want to be all gung-ho and learn about worm composting more, you can read Worms Eat my Garbage by Mary Appelhof; or The Earth Moved has some great basic info on getting started with worm bins, and frankly basic info is all you need. Keeping worms isn't rocket surgery.
This worm bin comes bundled with red worms to get you started.
