Compost at lightning speed with a bucket worm farm!

Step 4: Time to tear some paper!

Find your least favorite newspaper articles and adverts and shred them into small pieces. Soak the paper in water for a minute or so and add them to the bottom of the bag.  Shake off any excess water.  This will serve as the bedding for the worms.

I'm sure you may be wondering about the newspaper print being bad for the worms as I did, however when I googled this, I found out that most newspapers use soy ink.  This doesn't include paper with shiny surfaces.  I'm talking about your typical newspaper...paper.

Feel free to read for yourself here, or google for yourself.  I'm not going to claim I know everything on this topic.  I'm only sharing what I'm doing and the research I did.
