Worm Composting on YouTube



I recently visited the AVN Studio in Arlington to talk a bit about the basics of home composting, including an overview of worm composting or, more properly, vermicomposting.

Composting With Pallets

Wooden shipping pallets are easily recycled into large, heavy-duty compost bins which assemble in minutes, and can produce rich humus mulch and compost year after year. If you have a fair-sized property, a single pallet bin can handle up to two cubic yards of leaves, grass, and brush. If you're involved with a school or church, a three-bin pallet system might be just the ticket (and a free ticket, to boot!) for your larger campus. A system I constructed at the American Horticultural Society headquarters at River Farm in Virginia was easily capable of handling all the trimmings from several acres of actively managed formal gardens.
