worm bins

Crawlers' composting homes

Worm bins are containers used for vermicomposting—breaking down food scraps and organic waste using earthworms.

The worms consume kitchen waste and produce nutrient-rich castings used as fertilizer.

Typically kept indoors or in garages, worm bins offer an alternative to traditional composting for people without yard space: We started a worm bin in our apartment.
