We placed an order this weekend for some worms to help out with composting here on our homestead. They are relatively inexpensive and it is very easy to make a composting bin for them. We decided to start with 500 red composting worms and 100 nightcrawlers. I used two totes and a spacer in between for mine. I layered in some of our compost from a pile outside, some fresh kitchen scraps, cardboard, and hay.
This compost will be extremely beneficial for our soil mix this spring. Worm castings are one of the best natural fertilizers you can use, and it is 100% natural. Between the chickens, dogs, and worms there will definitely be no waste from our kitchen.
