1. Use your Kitchen Waste for a Healthier Garden
For countless centuries, worms, bacteria and other organisms have been working tirelessly and
endlessly to return the essential nutrients to the soil. Thanks to these organisms for breaking down
organic waste to a healthy compost.
So, why not stimulate the worm’s role in nature by inviting them into your home. They can help you
create a healthier, greener garden which produces more flowers, greenery, fruits and vegetables.
What’s more, you will no longer need to spend bu coos of dollars on fancy fertilizers and pest
repellents in order to produce the garden you have always desired. You will be able to feed your
new employees items you intended to through away. Imagine all this with your kitchen waste,
vegetable and fruit peels and grass/ bush debris! Just add your organic waste to the compost bin
and the worms work diligently 24/7 to turn it into garden ready compost.
The Worm’s job
These worms decompose organic waste like vegetable scraps, fruits and other organic material into
a valuable soil amendment, popularly known as worm compost. Why wait for months and years for
worms to amend soil, when you can do the same with worm compost created in your home
compost bin system? Based on how many worms you have, will determine how many pounds of
waste you will be able to feed your employees a week. 2 lbs of European Nightcrawlers, will
compost 6 to 8 lbs of waste a week for you. These worms replicate themselves every 3 to 4
months based on the consistency of your feedings. So, calculate your compost waste on the
amount of worm employees you have. A tray based compost bin is the way to go. As the worms
eat through their scraps and turn it into compost, they will migrate their way upward to the next
tray. The composted tray can then be added to your garden as organic soil, far healthier than any
store bought brand.
Worms eat so many things that you never realized you could feed to them. For instance, did you
know that they eat hair? That's right! They do, it’s full of protein. They will eat your coffee
grounds; they will eat the toilet paper roll and your children's homework if you give it to
them. Paper products are ground up wood. Worms loves wood chips! It should be as dye free as
possible, you just need to wet them down. Your worm team with eating through the items you
serves them and processes it through their bodies, eliminating the waste through the tail. It is an
astounding fact, but did you know that 10 lbs of red worms can consume 3-4 pounds of food per
day? Imagine the amount of compost you can get from the “waste” lying around your house?
Items to avoid is anything that has been cooked, grease and buttered fried foods, acidic fruits such
as lemons and limes, grapefruits and the skin of an orange. No meat, of any kind. They can only eat
the shell of an egg, it is loaded with proteins. Do not feed them sugary foods such as candy, cake,
or chocolate. This may sound like there is a lot of do's and don’ts but it is pretty simple once you
think about it. 60% of what you through away can be composted. That's a lot removed from a land
fill.

2. Compost Bins
Worms need warm temperature (not too hot), moisture, air, food and darkness to live and thrive.
When choosing a compost bin, ensure the presence of all these elements. A homemade compost
bin may not work to your advantage or be the best home for your worm employees. A composting
bin however is designed specifically to meet both your needs. The worms will work endlessly to
eat your garbage and produce valuable compost for you.
Important Points for Compost Bin
 The bedding must be moist and contain air spaces for the worms. Avoid placing the bin in
hot places; for the worms may die of heat. Room temperature is ideal.
 Red worms/ red wrigglers and European Night Crawlers are the best choice for compost
bins. They are available at any worm farm or shop and you can order them on line.
 Compost bins are available in various sizes. Choose yours on the basis of the amount of
composting material you will have to feed your worms on weekly bases. Most farms are
made of stack able trays so 1 to 2 people go through 2 to 3 lbs of compost able waste a
week, so the appropriate size would be a 3 tray bin. A family of 4 to 6 can handle a 4 to 7
tray bin. Keep in mind where you will place the bin as well. It needs to be a dark,
ventilated space.
 Compost bins are available in wood, plastic and glass. Whichever material you use, ensure
washing and cleaning it before use.
 A compost bin will allow the worms to travel upwards when they are done composting the
waste in the bottom tray. Sift through the dirt compost and remove any white balls. These

3. are eggs. Use the compost dirt created by the worms in your garden or potted
plants. Replace the bedding on the bottom tray, add dirt and replace the eggs in that
dirt. When the worms hatch start adding compost and they will begin working for you right
away.
How to Use
Compost can be used immediately or stored and used during the gardening season. You can add it
to your potting or garden soil as a soil amendment for a better, greener, healthier garden.
With a compost bin, giving nature a helping hand is creating a “greener” environment.
