An indoor worm composter

A project for me would be to convert part of my basement into a root cellar. I already have the lumber, nails, insulation and an old door which I'd need so it wouldn't cost much. I can regulate the temp with a basement window in that area.

I already have an enclosed pantry down in the basement which I can use this winter to store the apples from my apple tree and potatoes I can buy in bulk locally. I would need to insulate it which isn't a problem and it would be fine while I build a bigger and better one on the other side of the basement for next year.

The indoor worm composter is something I can do this week as I have the 5 gallon buckets and a container of bait worm is inexpensive.
