I have two worm bins in my kitchen to compost food scraps. The worms are a mix of european nightcrawlers and red wigglers from www.thewormdude.com. The bins are from Home Depot.

The worms live in bedding that's shredded paper and cardboard that's been soaked in water and wrung out (old copies of The Tech are an easy source). They eat both the bedding and the food I add.

These guys are basically living in the pair of moldy bananas that I threw in whole. They've eaten the insides and are working on the skins.

Look, a pet that doesn't bite!
