The Hidden Compost System

Most composting advice assumes you have a yard. This one doesn't.

A worm bin set up correctly fits under a sink or in a cupboard, produces no offensive smell, generates no fruit flies, and leaves no evidence your landlord could object to. Your bin stays out of sight. The scraps go in, finished compost comes out, and everything in between stays contained and discreet.

This guide walks you through the first 30 days — the period where most people get it wrong.

WHAT'S INSIDE

- Module 1: The Setup (Days 1–7) — bin selection, ventilation, bug shield installation and bedding

- Module 2: Getting the Worms (Days 8–14) — sourcing red wigglers, introducing them correctly and the light trick

- Module 3: Feeding and Maintenance (Days 15–21) — the handful rule, burial method, moisture, temperature and troubleshooting escapes and smells

- Module 4: Signs of readiness, the light migration method and how to use what you've made

- Module 5: Keeping the Bin Alive — long-term care past the first harvest: seasonal temperature swings, mites, pot worms, ammonia smell, crash recovery, going away for weeks, moving apartments with a live bin, and starting a second bin
