Vermicomposting
September 2, 2008
Mary and I are trying to decide the best design for our vermicomposting system or “worm bin”. People have some creative designs out there. We were thinking about converting our coffee table into one. It has a top that slides open to reveal a hidden storage compartment. The only problem is that the “floor” of the bin is made of cardboard so I will have to customize a wooden floor for it. Of course, with wood, the bin won’t last so long, so, as cool as it would be to have a coffee table worm bin, we are leaning towards a plastic one. 
If you want information on vermicomposting, the best book about it is “Worms Eat My Garbage” by Mary Appelhof. She just makes it easy to understand with simple tips

I agree, Mary’s book is great. I learned a lot from it too. You may also be interested in http://www.redwormcomposting.com for some great advice and good community. I got started there and am always learning something. I use a continuous flow system using a bag I redesigned, with inspiration from Bentley at RWC and kind of like the Swag (from Australia) but designed for indoor use.
Good luck to you!
