A worm bin is a container that you can use to turn a lot of your food garbage into “compost.” You put worms in the container and they chomp up all of the garbage. They recycle the garbage, changing it into compost. Then you can mix the compost into the soil because it’s good for the plants.
Constructing a worm bin is not too hard, but it would take too long to explain it in this top-secret file. So we’re sending you on a mission. To find out how to build a worm bin, check out another University of Illinois website called “The Adventures of Herman.”
Food is added to a “worm bin.” The worms in this container change food garbage into compost, which can be mixed into the soil to make it healthier.
