A Special Report From Wendell
Worm Bin Basics
Garbage! You humans think it's Yucky, but worms like me love it! All those banana peels, egg
shells and pizza crusts that you throw away are mighty tasty to us.
Some people invite worms right into their home to eat their old food scraps.
 What a great idea. You get rid of your garbage, and we get a daily feast.
Here's how it works. You build us a little home called a worm bin (I'll even give you
instructions on how to build one) by adding comfy bedding, worms, and
food scraps to a container. Worms will eat the food scraps and turn them into compost. Compost
makes a great, nutrient-rich soil that is perfect for growing plants.

Woman right here.
Look for all the different types of organic materials in
this bin. A few that we noticed were egg shells, flowers, and dead leaves.
