How to Make a Worm Farm
A worm farm is generally made up of several stackable waterproof crates. The crates are often plastic
because they are lightweight, but wood can be used as well. Newspaper "bedding" and soil is needed to start the
farm, and then compostable food items are added thereafter on a regular basis to feed the worms.
Worms like moist dark areas, but at the same time crates should have good drainage and aeration. Food items
are placed in the upper crate, which has holes in the base so that worms can crawl up up through the crates to
reach the food.
Typical worm food items include raw fruit and vegetables (no citrus or onions), egg shells, hair leaves and
carboard. The smaller the pieces, the easier and faster they will break down once in the compost bin. Too much
food at once can lead to rot, while too little food can lead to hungry worms. Typically, the more worms that
are in the compost bin, the more food you can feed them. Beginner's Guide to Starting a Worm Farm
