VermiCulture Composter Turn your kitchen scraps into Organic Fertilizer

PICT0337.JPGOk so this is apart of two ongoing projects
Recycling everything and building and maintaining a greenhouse.
So to recycle food wastes the best way i found was vermiculture! A fancy word for worms. And worms love to eat food wastes. And the best organic fertilizer is worm poop.
This instructable will show you how to make a vermicular composer, from two 5 gallon buckets!

But why is worm poop good plant fertilizer
Worms eat and digest their body weight every day, producing a 100% natural fertilizer know as worm castings or worm poop.
Worms castings are Rich in Nitrogen, Rich in Phosphates, Rich In Potash
And what's more? Worm castings can be brewed into a potent liquid form organic fertilizer and organic insecticide called Worm Tea! Wow!
