Worm Composting Part 1: Building Your Worm Bin

In this video, master gardener Sonia Oliveira kicks off the vermicomposting series by teaching us how to build our own worm bins.

What You'll Need:
You’ll need a medium sized plastic tote, a drill to make some holes, something to prop up your bin like wood off-cuts or some bricks, something to use as a catch basin like an aluminum baking tray, some bedding, and finally, some worms (RED WIGGLERS).

About our Worm Composting Video Series:
This video series will take you through the steps of how to use worm castings, or worm manure, to fertilize your garden. The scientific name for this process is known as “Vermicomposting”, but it can also be considered worm farming!

About Sonia:
“I like to say my education is Field to Table. I started with an interest in growing for self sufficiency, working on farms as a seasonal labourer, working in food retail, going to culinary school, taking the organic master gardener training and passing the certification examination for the Society for organic urban landcare (SOUL), and working in the food service and hospitality industry. Now my focus has evolved to include food security, mental health and regenerative agriculture.”
