Large Tub Vermicomposters

I'm now placing worms IN my large plant tubs (15-liter and above). Large tubs, such as those that support small shrubs indoors, seem to benefit greatly from the addition of about one dozen Red Wrigglers and the occasional apple core. One-gallon hanging baskets with creepers seem to benefit.

The worms aerate the soil, provide castings, and generally do what they are designed to do. The population stabilizes to the container, and the plant growth has, as they say, to be seen to be believed.

Some people now shun Vermicomposting Bins, and just bury their food scraps into about 12 to 20 plant tubs in rotation. Makes sense to me.

Talk To Me !
