Types of Worm Bins

SIMPLE PLASTIC BINS:
The simple plastic bins on the market today are recycled plastic boxes designed to handle food waste of an average family of 1-4 people. The structure is ventilated through air holes or ventilation tubes in the lid and/or walls or base. Some units come equipped with a drainage tray (but you can supply your own) or a spigot to facilitate collection of compost or worm tea to later use as a liquid fertilizer for plants. Plans for building worm bins abound, and any nonmetal container will do for a makeshift worm bin. Sample containers include waste baskets, dish basins, pails, plastic storage boxes. Lids are handy to keep worms from leaving their bin (some varieties of worms are better suited to bin life than others) and to prevent proliferation of fruit flies. Benefits of a simple worm bin are that it requires little space, is portable, inexpensive, educational, and is easy to manage for the novice. The average price for a simple plastic bin kit is $60 which includes an instruction manual, worm bedding, and 1-2 pounds of worms.
