worm bin

Earthworm decomposition box

A worm bin is a container used for vermicomposting—breaking down food scraps and organic waste using worms, typically red wigglers.

The worms consume kitchen scraps and produce nutrient-rich castings used as fertilizer: I toss my vegetable peels in the worm bin.

Also called a worm farm or worm composter.
