How to Make a Worm Compost Bin

By Stephanie Leave a Comment

There are many worm compost bins on the market, but most will run you a hundred dollars or more. I'm going to show you how you can repurpose items you already have to make your own worm compost bin and put it directly in the garden. Gardeners know that worm castings are the black gold of the compost world. You can purchase 12 lb bags from your local garden center for about $16.

Buying Produce in Bulk

Buying Produce in Bulk For us, buying produce in bulk usually means I’m going to be doing a lot of canning, dehydrating, freezing, or baking!  Although we have a sizable garden, there are some things we can’t grow in our zone, or we can’t grow enough of or its not producing yet, so that’s when I look to buying in bulk. There are many options for buying produce in bulk – Aldi, the grocery store, warehouse stores like BJs and Costco, Restaurant Depot (if you’re lucky ...
