Worm box

Heres a neat idea for composting food scraps in a household:

Composting food.

A 2 by 2 worm box can turn all the food scraps from a two person household into compost.

Worm composting is said to be fun, easy, and rewarding in many ways ( as stated in the Thousand Oaks environmental guide.)

Givin the right environment and a little attention, a handful of worms will reproduce rapidly and diguest your kitchen scraps faster than any other method.

The worm castings that are produced from composting are nutrient rich and can be used as a soil amendment to help plants grow.

To perform this project you will need:

1 worm bin
bedding material (ie hamster or guinea pig bedding)
some water and food scraps
and some worms

The TO environment guide offers more information about worm composting and where to obtain worms for composting. Please visit the California Integrated Waste Management Boards website at: http://www.ciwmb.ca.gov/Organics/Worms/
