Things I've put in my worm bin
I’ve seen and heard many lists of what to put in your worm bin and what not to. Location of the bin and its accessibility to wild things are good things to keep in mind. As always, experimentation is a good idea–try one chicken bone before you put the Thanksgiving remnants in. Here are some things I’ve put in my worm bin:
- chicken bones
- citrus peels
- egg shells and yolks
- off meat
- newspapers
- bunches of bad greens
- whole foods salad boxes
- human urine
- used kleenex
- torn up credit card receipts
- off sour cream
- moldy cheese
- human hair
- corn cobs
- pistachio and peanut shells
- twisty ties around chard gone bad
- wormy apple fragments
I sometimes recognized the harder substances (corn cobs, shells, bones), but everything else gets turned into clean smelling brown dirt/vermicompost.
