Well, here we go. My son w/ a little help put this together for me. Great way to compost or so I have read, but also great way to make your own bait! He is an avid fisherman. I like the idea of being able to feed all my biologicals, (trimmings, leaves, stems, etc...) to them and not worry about needing to dispose of it in any way that could pose a security threat. I actually have 3 trash bags full now, that I have had for a year! So these worms will eat like kings at our home lol! Not to mention the benefits of pure worm castings, and worm tea! (That's if I can figure out how to appropriately use them.):jointsmile:
So here we go!

A few supplies, this was extremely cheap! Considering the fact that ready made ones can cost upwards of $300! Yikes!

Rubbermaid Bins, 3. (I used 10 gallon bins, don't use clear. No light!) $10
That's it! That's all I had to buy.
Also:
Drill w/ 1/4 inch bit and 3/4 inch circle bit
Razor Blade
A Scissor
Screen
PVC valve
O rings
PVC threaded male adapter
Shredded Newspaper
A little dirt, about 1 gallon
Something to put inside the bins for support. I used mason jars, bricks work too. Whatever is handy.
Spray Bottle
Oh yeah, WORMS! About 1lb/sqfoot.
Nintendo DS (will explain later)

On w/ it.
First you need to drill some holes in the bottom of 2 of the bins, and along the sides. This is not a perfect science folks. Drill enough. These holes serve 2 purposes. The bottom holes allow for upward migration into the "active bin", and allow for the castings to fall through to the catch bin. In the catch bin, they allow for the moisture/worm pee to fall to the bottom bin. The holes on the side allow for air flow.
