Types of Worm Bins

LATERAL MOVEMENT BINS:
Lateral movement vermicomposting systems are nothing new, being commonly used in the 1970s in homemade worm beds. Because it was (and is) a simple method for separating worms from vermicompost, many vermiculturalists would divide their worm beds in half, usually by placing a piece of screen or a board between the left and right sides of the bin. One side would be fed until the worms had processed the majority of the material. The system was then fed on the other side of the divider, which was eventually removed, without taking significant numbers of worms with it. The empty side could then be re-bedded awaiting the next vermicompost harvest.
