This happens all the time in nature but you can set up a similar small-scale ecosystem right in your house with a worm bin.

So thankful for Zach and the Arizona Worm Farm teaching us about worm compost. If you don't have the space for a full outdoor garden and compost operation, consider growing indoors with a tower garden: https://youtu.be/-CkeLSVXnsU
