Make Compost With a Worm Composter
We have a nice-sized garden in our backyard and we try to keep it totally organic by not using any chemical pesticides and fertilizers. One way to fertilize our plants while keeping them organic is by using a worm composter to create rich, dark, organic compost. A worm composter works by using worms to break down organic material such as vegetable peelings, table scraps, coffee grounds, tea bags, and the occassional egg shell into rich, organic compost that you can use to fertilize your fruits and vegetables in your garden. They are easy to make and maintain and require only a handful of red worms and some bedding such as hay, straw, or newspapers.
