Worm Bin
A worm farm is a self contained composting system that retains most nutrients for reuse. The worm's digestive system imparts a stable crumb structure to the worm compost which is a nutrient/rich humus material consisting of partially decomposted organic waste, bedding material and worm castings (manure). If properly maintained, it is an odourless system. To find out more click here.
