What size Rubbermaid bin for 2 pounds of worms? - 2009/04/04 12:21I'm getting my worms soon. What size bin do I need? I have some 18 gallon and some much about 30 gallon. If the 18 gallon will be large enough, I'd just as soon have the smaller size.

Re:What size Rubbermaid bin for 2 pounds of worms? - 2009/04/04 17:40I think an 18 gallon should be fine for you. The typical school of thought is one pound of worms per one square foot of surface (about 6-8 inches in depth). From the website, they list the dimensions as 23.9x 15.9x 16.5in and that is about 2 1/2 sq feet.

Re:What size Rubbermaid bin for 2 pounds of worms? - 2009/04/07 20:10Are those dimensions correct? I don't see how it can be 2 1/2 square feet. If it was 24" by 24" then it would be 2 sq. ft.
