Types of Worm 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.
