Worm Composter Bins Will Help To Compost Your Kitchen Waste
Kitchen waste is a terrible thing to see go to waste, pun intended. So what better way to make use of this waste than to feed it to the worms? They will more than pay you back for giving them food and lodging, when you look at the beautiful vegetables, flowers and herbs your compost helps you to grow. Worm composter bins can be purchased in kit form..
I love earthworms, ever since my father was a keen gardener and fisherman. They helped him compost his veggies, and when he wanted to go fishing my brother and I were called upon to get the worms for him. There was nothing we liked better than going to the worm composter and seeing who could find the fattest juiciest worms, which we lovingly settled into jars filled with rich compost so they wouldn’t go hungry on the way to their untimely deaths.
Unfortunately daddy was a lousy fisherman, but he was a brilliant gardener. It is sad to know that so many earth worms lost their lives to his feeble attempts at fishing. But a great many of them also got to make their homes in some of the most fertile soils in Africa, and I am pretty certain their ancestors are still happily breeding away.
If you don’t buy a worm composter kit it is a simple matter to make one. Most gardens have some earthworms in the soil; you just have to look for them. If you really can’t find any, you need them, your local nursery will help.
Make use of a plastic bin or similar container, if it doesn’t have a lid, find one or use Hessian. Worms like cool dark places so don’t put it in direct sunlight. Drill holes in the sides and bottom of the bin. This allows water drainage and the air to circulate.
Start with a layer of sand or gravel and place a piece of cardboard on top of this. Put your worms in with some shredded newspaper and mature compost and start filling your bin with organic kitchen waste. Feed your worms veggie peels, tea bags, coffee grounds, egg shells and layers of newspapers to keep the flies away, soon you will have your own organic compost for your garden.
