- About Me:
- I tried composting with worms in various apartments, starting about 1990, but my homemade bins (crafted from five gallon buckets or orange crates) never took off. Finally, when I moved into a home with a backyard, the county recycling agency sold me a large HDPE (16 cubic foot?) black rodent proof bin at 75% off (to encourage recycling). It's meant to be a "hot" bin, but one day I opened it up to find that worms had moved in. (Probably came in the leaf litter from under my avocado tree). They've been there happily for five years now.
