This is an even simpler worm farm that will take about 15 minutes to make. You have to monitor it carefully though, so I’d recommend starting with the bin in the link above.

What Kind Of Worms Should You Have In Your Worm Farm?a handful of red wigglers

Red Wigglers: I highly recommend sticking with red wiggler worms. When I did my research on worm farming years ago, it was obvious that these are the best ones for breaking down your food waste the fastest. And they make incredible compost for your garden or house plants too. Five years later, I couldn’t be happier with my choice. These worms are amazing and fun. I have worms for sale at great prices and if you live in the desert, you really need to get my heat tolerant worms. You can get them elsewhere, but you are taking a big chance that they’ll die in the extreme heat and cold of the desert.  Order my worms online here, there is no local pickup.

Pot worms: potworms are normal in a worm binAnother kind of worm that is very, very good to have in your worm farm are called pot worms . They don’t break the food down as fast as red wigglers, but they do a better job of it. No one I know sells them individually, since they are tiny and hard to harvest, but the worms you get from me will have these great pot worms mixed in. I wrote a post about them here.
