Tip of the day! Tips on starting a worm farm

Be careful about keeping it too wet. I made a worm farm a few weeks ago, and this morning I found a few worms on my kitchen floor. Yuck! I’m pretty sure I over-watered it!

Anyways, I used a set of plastic drawers, cut out a rectangle from the bottom with a box cutter, super glued/duct taped screen to the holes, and added some worms, shredded newspaper, coffee grounds, tea bags, and fruit/veggies. I got the worms from WalMart. Red wigglers. 

I knew a man who fished a lot and grew his own worms in a casket
( don’t know where he got that, though). He bought a container of red wigglers from a bait shop to start. He used good, rich potting soil and added grass clippings, leaves, coffee grounds from time to time. He also had to make sure it stayed moist but not wet. You will not want them in your room. Outdoors in a shady area is best. The dirt has a dank, musty smell.

Good luck!
