This badge expects the same non-toxic approaches as the PEP badge such as limited glue, no plywood or osb, etc. All these projects can be completed with a few hand tools and they prepare you nicely for doing larger projects in the future.

As we created these projects we thought about the need for some people to be relatively quiet. So probably no hammering - although there are some hammering techniques that make very little sound. Screws would be best done with pilot holes - which would require drilling. And there are ways to drill a hole quietly. So we haven’t been able to think of anything not doable.

Would something like this tick the box for vermiculture bin?

Thought the cabinet idea was a nice idea to hide the messy stuff going on inside.

That looks like a great project and yes, it's a vermiculture, just more elaborate than the one in the video.

Check the requirements though especially the foot print

Minimum requirements:
- Primarily made of wood
- Footprint is at least 3 square feet
- No paint, stain or chemically treated wood, some non-toxic food safe oil is ok

To document the BB, provide pics or video (<2 min) of the following:
- Wood you're starting with
- Vermicompost bin under construction
- Finished vermicompost bin

Clarifications:
- This is Dimensional Lumber woodworking so no plywood, particle board or other man-made "woods"
- A waterproof liquid collector at the bottom (if desired) does not have to be made from wood

Cargo bikes are cool
