In a small container, they will produce only as many as can live in it, the recycling educator said. I encourage students to compost with worms. Setting up a worm bin doesn't take a lot of work. In the basement of the courthouse, the recycling educator has several bins of redworms, which are considered the best for worm composting. Many courthouse employees save leftovers from their lunches to feed the worms.
Worms do their best work in dark, cool places.
They don't like bright light or direct sun. So it is best to keep the worm composter under the kitchen sink or in the basement. The worm composter can be a plastic container or wooden box with holes in the top and sides to provide a source of air and holes in the bottom for drainage. Worms like it moist, but not wet. The bin needs some kind of bedding for the worms.
