About

WormBin is a small, independent guide to vermicomposting at home — composting with red wiggler worms in a bin that fits under a sink, in a closet, or in a garage. We write practical, step-by-step guides for people who want to turn kitchen scraps into rich worm castings for their garden, without smell, without fuss, and without a big yard.

What We Cover

Everything on this site is about one thing: worm composting at home. Our guides cover getting started, setting up a bin, feeding and care, and troubleshooting. Every article answers one question in plain language, shows the maths where it helps, and ends with a short FAQ. We also built a free Worm Bin Calculator that works out how many worms you need, how big your bin should be, and how much bedding to start with.

What We Do Not Cover

WormBin is about home composting only. We are not doctors, veterinarians, or food-safety experts, and nothing on this site is medical or health advice. Worm castings are a garden soil amendment, not a food, medicine, or supplement, and should never be eaten or used as one. We do not give advice on treating illness, and we do not claim that compost or castings cure or prevent any condition.

We are not lawyers either. Where a rule is involved — for example, whether a city or housing association allows composting indoors — we point you to the official source and ask you to check it before you start.

How the Site Is Funded

WormBin is an independent site. We do not sell worms or bins, and we do not take payment for recommending a product. The site currently runs no advertising and no affiliate links. If that ever changes, advertising will be clearly labelled, and this page will be updated first.

Who Writes WormBin

WormBin is written by a home gardener who keeps a worm bin at home and learned the subject the slow way: one bin, one season, one mistake at a time. You can read more on the About the Author page.
