How To Make A DIY 2-Bucket Worm Composter For FREE

This is my favorite design for an inexpensive worm composting bin...and I built this one for FREE (well almost). The design uses two five-gallon buckets, for which I utilized a reclaimed paint bucket and sheetrock mud bucket. I also use window screen in this design to keep unwanted insects from entering the composter vent holes. The nylon window screen was also reclaimed. I grabbed it from a door discarded at a local recycling event where I was volunteering. I ripped out the screen for this specific purpose.

For my worm composters I use worms purchased from Uncle Jim's Worm Farm. Uncle Jim will give you a 10% discount on your online purchase if you use the coupon code "greenshortz" at checkout. website: https://unclejimswormfarm.com/
(disclosure: I don't make money from this...they just deliver a great product)

Worm composting (vermicomposting) is a great practice as you'll be reducing your trash footprint and turning those "waste" materials into organic garden soil amendment (worm castings and compost) and liquid organic fertilizer (worm tea). Creating these products yourself with save you some serious money!
