Worm composting, or vermicomposting, can be done year round by apartment dwellers and householders.

Worm composting is done indoors in a self contained bin.

Waste material, shredded paper, cardboard, and kitchen scraps are decomposed by red wriggler worms to form a rich compost in two to three months.

A wooden or (preferably) plastic container and a quantity of red wriggler worms are all that is required.

Red wriggler worms are a special breed of worms that eat their own weight in kitchen scraps and garden waste every two days. They are related to the common earthworm that each dirt.

Common earthworms will starve if you take them indoors and feed them kitchen peelings.

Worm compost, or castings, is just as rich and can be used in the same way as compost made in your backyard compost bin.
