• Materials Needed:
    • 2 Pallets cut into 2×2 foot squares
    • Fine mesh screen
  • Steps:
    1. Create shallow “trays” from the pallet pieces.
    2. Line the bottom of each tray with mesh that allows worms to pass through.
    3. Stack the trays. Feed the worms in the bottom tray first.
    4. Once that tray is full, add food to the one above; the worms will crawl up!
  • Pro Tip: Keep this in a shaded area. Worms are sensitive to heat and will leave if the pallet wood gets too hot in the sun.

9. The Hinged-Lid “Hot” Box

“Hot” composting requires keeping the pile moist and insulated. This bin features a heavy pallet lid that holds in the heat generated by the bacteria.
