I didn't want to post anything until I had it going a while, but I made a worm box back when I started the tubgirls project. I used a kitty litter bucket, cut drainage holes in the bottom, and filled it halfway with syrofoam chunks. I then shredded some newspaper into strips, and covered the styro w/ ~0.5" of shredded paper strips. Then I threw in about 2 cups of soil, and a dozen "dew worms" (earthorms) from the bait store. I simply threw the worms on top of the dirt. I mist it a few times a day with my plant mister. There is no odour I (or my visitors) can detect.

I throw in used tea leaves, used coffee grounds, vegetable trim, anything that's vegetable matter.

Then, next grow, I simply move most of the worms to a new bucket, and transplant sprouts into the "old" worm farm full of worm castings, refuse, & a few worms, and so on.
