Want to compost, but don’t have outdoor space for a compost
pile? No problem, you can compost indoors with the help of red
wiggler worms (eisenia fetida). An indoor worm bin can be made
out of plastic or wood, and should have air holes and a tight
fitting lid. Next you need to provide bedding, in the form of
damp shredded newspaper, and 3 pounds of your delicious food
scraps per week so your worms can make "worm castings" and
within 3 months you will have your own homemade compost. If you
would like to learn more about indoor composting, please join us
at one of our Indoor Worm Composting Workshops. The Ecology
Center also sells worm condos at our Union Square Greenmarket
location. See directions for do-it-yourself instructions.
