Vermiculture

In my greenhouse, I have a plastic tub, that I used to make a vermiculture composter also known as worm composting. Take a plastic tub and drill holes in the bottom of the tub and in the lid top. Place a another lid under the bottom to catch the moisture run-off known as compost tea which is the liquid that escapes from the vegetable material. By combining the proper mixture of shredded paper (carbon) with green material (phosphorus and nitrogen) one will get a soft fluffy soil made from worm castings. You should turn the compost pile once a week to get the compost worms moving through all the vegetable matter. If you do not get the right mix of paper ( carbon) and green material ( phosphorus and nitrogen), the compost will take on the odour of rotting vegetation. Carbon adds sweetness to the compost and removes any odour.
