In addition to my plastic tote bin (instructions attached), you can use white or red cedar to make your bin. Same Idea, build a bin that is 12-18 inches tall, 18-20 inches wide and 24-36 inches long with a wood or plastic top and you'll be fine. Unless the lid is tight fitting, wood bins generally do not need air holes.
In the winter the worms are kept indoors or in an enclosed space (garage) where the temp is >40F and they will compost all your food scraps-- you don't have to trudge to your outdoor compost pile!!!
