May 26th, 2006 - Worms (Vermicomposting)
I’m thinking again about having a worm bin. Eric said he’d make me one, but I’ve discovered the wooden ones are more complicated and expensive than a fairly simple two or three plastic storage bin setup (PDF)). You can order redworms online (and pay high shipping since you have to buy at least 1 pound) or go to a bait shop. Living in NE Wisconsin, the bait shops are VERY easy to find (usually found along with a gun shop or a bar, two other popular places around here). Luckily, Eric is willing to go in and buy them for me. I don’t think I could stand to enter a bait shop.
