We think plastic storage containers are perfect. If you use a wooden container, line it with a heavy plastic bag. Wash out any container before you use it. Cover the bin with a loose-fitting lid that will allow air into the bin. Put in the newspaper strips or leaves, add the worms, and bury your veggie scraps in the bedding.
Worms create lovely compost.
After three to five months, the bin will be filled with compost and not much bedding material. Now it's time to harvest the compost. To harvest the compost, push all the contents of the bin to one side. Take out any big pieces of undecomposed food, newspaper or leaves. Put fresh bedding and food scraps in the empty side of the bin.
