well , you know compost heaps? you get similar stuff put it in a big container that can breath then add worms. you put damp paper on top to keep moisture some people have like a small hole in the container for worm wee to come out. if you put 1 sixth of this 5 sixths water you can put it on plants.

A worm farm is a way to recycle household food and non-food items. A worm farm is started in a strong container, usually plastic, about 9x14x7 inches. In the container you need to add dampened shredded newspaper. Add a few handfuls of garden soil, a few crushed eggs shells to the newspaper and the worms. Keep the bedding material wettish but not drenched. The worms most suitable for worm farms are red worms (also known as red wrigglers or manure worms), blue worms and tiger worms.

In addition to recycling household waste, the worm farm will produce a rich soil that can be used for house plants, vegetable gardens and lawns.
