How Do You Make Worm Compost Bins?
Worm compost bins (or wormeries) can be a fun, educational project for the entire family. Wormeries produce rich compost for use in gardens from fruit and vegetable scraps that you would otherwise throw away. This project is fairly simple and results in a basic worm compost bin. Cut your 2×4 lumber into 16 equal length sections. Using 18 inch sections result in a wormery that is roughly 18 inches by 18 inches. Anything larger can be a problem because of the weight of the soil mixture that rests on the bottom of each tray. Nail or screw four of the 2×4 sections together to make a square tray frame. Wood screws will provide a stronger bond. If you wish to make the wormery stronger, you can use corner brackets (L-shaped metal brackets) to strength each corner. Repeat this step to make four square trays. Cut sections of the metal screen or mesh to a size that fits all the way to the outer edges of the square frames. Attach one piece of the screen to the under side of each frame, using meta
