Step 1
Get an old aquarium or wooden box with a lid. Fill it with a shredded newspaper and moss mixture.
-
Step 2
Wet the mixture with water so it is saturated like a sponge. You don't want the worms to swim though so don't overdo it.
-
Step 3
Add fruits and vegetables that are leftover from your meals. You can provide the worms with extra calcium if you add broken eggshells. Crush the egg shells so that they're a powdery substance and mix it in well with the fruits and vegetables.
-
Step 4
Top off the fruits and vegetables with another layer of the newspaper and moss mixture. Add the worms.
-
Step 5
Wait three months for the worms to turn the food into compost in the wormery. When it's ready, shine a bright light in the wormery so that the worms move to the bottom of the aquarium. You can now harvest the compost.
-
Step 6
Use the compost to pot your plants. You can also throw the compost in your garden to enrich your flowers or vegetable plants.
