Good explanations there, too, but rather than pass it by, I'll stick them right in here. Just in case you decide to skip it. You will have to look. That should make you curious enough to go over to the worm poop thread and find out how wonderful that stuff is if you haven't already.

Aren't those little worms adorable? And tada - the label. A must read.

i am wondering, is this better than regular composting? Or the same? I just got a composter for Christmas. I also wonder, can the bin be outside? I dont have room for one inside. I think i need a worm bin! :)

Come visit the Vermicomposting forum. Once you get your little wormies, you'll wonder how you lived without 'em! :)

I agree with courtcourt,fun reading over there.

lilyfinch,
I also got a very nice turnable composter for Christmas,I have been filling mine up, right now, it is in the garage,no worms in it,just kitchen scrapes.Frozen solid,ha ha
My guess is, it would be the same as far as nutrients,but an out side composter is different in several ways from an inside worm farm.
You will just have to read, and see what workes best for you.Both are very good.
We have a island,seperating the kitchen from the front room,my worm bin is kept under the overhang of the island.
Good luck with what ever you do,if you have children, it is a great learning tool.
