Worm-keeping: It is very easy and also transforms most kitchen scraps into excellent potting mix. ^{kellyjones00 (593)}

Easy indoors worm-farm:
- Place a 4-5 gallon fishtank in a cool spot, out of direct sun. Fill with cheap potting mix (not clay).
- Put feeder-box on the top of soil. This is a lidded, bottomless box for finely-chopped household scraps.
- Plant indoor plants around feeder-box. Water to keep soil moist but keep in mind that worms can drown.
- Add worms, e.g. tiger worms from pet store. ^{kellyjones00 (593)}

Feeding: Worms eat very fine, decomposing food. Finely chop household scraps before putting them in a lidded scraps container. Feed to worms once a week or so. ^{kellyjones00 (593)}

Feeding: Egg-shells, citrus rinds, onion skin etc. aren't favourite foods for worms. ^{kellyjones00 (593)}

Fruit flies, maggots, and more: Lots of insects will multiply naturally inside the feeder-box. It will be very smelly and moist. Hence the close-fitting lid. ^{kellyjones00 (593)}

After six months of worm-keeping, use half the worms and soil in the garden. Replace with new cheap potting mix. ^{kellyjones00 (593)}
