I don’t know much about vermi composting, but I am thinking of giving it a go. Does anyone have a good resource, knowledge, or recommendation on where to start? My thoughts were to get a couple metal grated waste baskets, a bunch of earth worms and put one in each of my raised garden beds. Or should I run an experiment and do one bed and not the other? What are its benefits? Downsides(rodents,possums for instance)? Guidance is appreciated.

    I toss my scraps in a pile on the ground and whack it with a shovel every now and again to flip it…

    I have crickets and centipedes living in it which is great cause that’s it and the centipedes kill practically anything else that tries to live in it.

    Honestly I would love to do the tiered buckets and collect the liquid and all that but compost can really be done with 2 wooden boxes in a spot in your yard and a window screen for sifting when you want to use it.

    Its just controlled rotting anyways.
