Worm Barrel

Hello folks! 

I made my first outdoor worm bin this weekend. I used leaves, composted horse manure, peat and coco coir for bedding. Then tossed in some partially decomposed banana leaves and dwarf marigold trimmings on top. It's located in a shady spot under a Crepe Myrtle in a bed on the north end of my house. I'll throw in some landscape cloth to cover it and keep out birds. I got this idea from Rob Bob's You tube channel. If you are interested in worm composting you should check him out.





So...... Until next time......HAPPY GARDENING!

  1. Good idea. I live in NW La and it doesn't get much below freezing. Should I wait until next spring or can I start now. I can put the bin inside a store room.

    1. Hi Linda,
      You can start a bin now. Putting it in a store room is a good idea. I have a 10 gallon storage container that I use inside. It doesn't have any drain holes in the bottom, so I have to be careful of the moisture content. But it serves the purpose very well. Thanks for commenting!
