Building a Worm Farm
There are only a few rules you must follow when making your worms a home. Rule #1The bin should be opaque, not transulscent. Although I have heard of people using a clear container with descent results, worms prefer a dark environmentRule #2Must have air holes. The container needs aeration for the red wriggler worms to survive. Otherwise it will become anaerobic and not a good thing. As food decomposes, there will be gasses needed to be released. The size of the holes is not important.Rule #3The container needs to be the right size for the amount of worms it will house. Worms eat and breed better when they have room. They will self regulate if they get cramped (die off). They need about one square foot of space per pound. Roughly: 1/2 pound worms to a 5/10 gallon bin 1 pound to a 18/20 gallon bin 3-5 pounds to a 45/55 gallon drum/barrelHere is my video on making a wormbin:
Now you are ready to build the bin. When you have that completed, you should read up on worm environment: bedding, moisture, temp, food, ect Also, the 3 wrongs of worm composting is a helpful read. Don't want to go page to page to page?
