To bury vegetable and fruit scraps, dig a hole, chop and mix scraps in with the soil and cover with at least 8 inches of soil. If desired, use as a garden space the next year. Vermiculture systems are ideally suited for individuals without room for outdoor compost bins. Using populations of redworms to make compost from vegetable and fruit scraps is easy. Worms can eat up to half their body weight in food scraps every day and produce a humus rich casting as a waste produce.
Plastic storage bins with a tight fitting lid make ideal worm bins .
Drill holes in the lid for air circulation purposes. Drain holes may be required if excess moisture develops. Rotate the burial of fruit and vegetable waste throughout the bin. Every 6 to 8 months push the old bedding and decomposting scraps to one side of the bin, rebed the empty side, and start burying food wastes in the fresh bedding. Allow composted wastes to cure for a month before harvesting.
