These buckets are the only way I’ve ever been able to make them stay put. 2 gal icing bucket from Wally World you can get anywhere for $1 a piece, sometimes free. Another good place was local doughnut shop. Used to use big totes, but the gasketed lid is key, otherwise they get through. 4” hole in middle for air and misting top layer, super manageable even when wet. Scrounge around for worms, don’t buy them. I went to the local manure pile and got about 500 for free, added some peat and a pinch of lime to what they were found in to start the bins. They will double every 3 months when happy. Great low attention winter hobby that gives you the freshest castings possible ;)
