Re: How to setup your own Worm Bin
i have had a worm bin for three years now. Unfortunately, rats raid the worm bin. Once they get the taste, they beome a nuisance. So if they are around u must change the site of the bin. Goldfish are, as maaz says indirectly, basically vegetarian. So feed them blanched spinach, elodea, lettuce etc.. and worms only once twice weekly. Large cichlids on other hand, are often nonvegetarians! These worms are the best adult fish life food then, and the easiest to grow..

Re: How to setup your own Worm Bin
the substrate after some time can be harvested as manure. It is excellent, u use just one handful per potted plant since its very rich. If u don't remove it periodically, the space for worms will run short. Harvest no more than half at one time. It is sold in nurseries as vermicompost, even exported abroad. Price around 50 rupees a kg.

A collection of mistakes is called experience and experience is the key to success.

Bachelors wont be having any problems creating bins...but for married guys they'll have to pay a heavy price for obtaining the permission .
Good info...keep it up.

Re: How to setup your own Worm Bin
Ordinary earthworms prefer soil, not compost. the best species that grows fastest and does not try to run from the container (yes, they can wiggle out, especially an Indian species i can't remember the name off the cuff, common name Blue Worms), is Eisenia fetida. They can be obtained from any vermicompost farm. This species is currently being kept by me, Vijendra, and Vishaal, and Syed Ali has also experience with it.
Gooogle this species. You will find a million and one images and websites. This is THE compost bin worm.
