Do it yourself worm bin construction note
The worm bin
has been having a problem with unwanted visitors.
My solution for today was to
add a 2x4 and some pieces of appearance board to the frame and part of
the lid.
I'll know by next week if
it's working, or if I need to take the worm bin armour level up a notch.
If we build another one I
think we'll design the lid to have a slope and maybe attach some shower
board to the plywood surface.
Or explore more posts by date or by subject.

Rats!
Sigh. The problem animal who Lucy helped break into the compost bin found a gap under the lid (when it warped in the rain) and tunneled into the worm bin. I found his scats, and am afraid it's actually a rat, not a squirrel. Grrr! I hope Mark's fix does better than mine did.
