Guest guest Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Right, the one with the holes goes inside the other and the rocks lift it up so the tea can accumulate below. They really like peat. They don't like shredded junk mail tho' newspaper is ok. It would be a great group project; you could get several bins going at once if you have the space and how neat you all share your veggies! The 2 of us produce way more trimmings than my 1 bin of worms can keep up with so a lot still goes in the trash . I had to bring my bin inside for the winter, poor little things almost froze to death but they seem very happy in the basement. There's a great book " Worms Eat My Garbage " -- it even shows plans for a tiny tiny worm bin under a cutting board! Peace, Diane , akfral wrote: > > ok, a little confused.

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 There is also a great site. It has plans, lots of info and a forum. I think the site is www.wormdigest.org. I just built a composter that uses styrofoam " peanuts " ( not biodegradeable ) at the bottom for air circulation.
