Your design is such a simple but genius design…I will be returning all the plastic containers back to Home Depot and have my husband help me make your system. Your compost tumbler is also a great design but it’ll be too heavy for me to manage…I’m so sure you have so many other creations. Please post more of them…thx for sharing your genius worm compost design!!
I'm not very experienced in handyman stuff, i own a power drill however but it doesn't come with those circle pieces. Are those just attachments you can buy with different radius options?
When the lower tray (not the plastic bagged one) gets full, you put fresh bedding and food in the one above. That causes the worms to migrate up leaving the castings below. Before that, you don't put bedding above as that will suffocate the worms (and there will be an air gap so they can't migrate up).
Nice design, but if you have leachate then the bin is too wet and that means the material is going anaerobic… very unhealthy for the worms and promotes the development of nasty microorganisms that you don’t want anywhere near your plants.
cool idea. what's the timing on when you add new trays and pull the bottom trays? I heard you say you wait for all the eggs to hatch on bottom tray...so say you have 3 trays tell when you add and take tray off. I think I will try this in the spring. I will paint this as well because my worms live outside here in North Carolina.
I made one and love it. Hate those ants crawling up the legs though. Also, I made my own version of the base catch. Use plastic with a hole in the middle. Building one now for school teacher that has a tray (giant topper-ware) that slides out the side of the base. Figuring out how to make the catch is the fun part. But the trays are brilliant.
Hiya . Best video on flow through wormery by a mile. TWO QUESTIONS PLEASE. 1) whats to stop the finished compost in the bottom tray falling through to the liquid gathering tray at the bottom and subsequently blocking the tap ? 2) How many works do you need to get one tray started ?
Spectacular and simple design. I've been looking for a modular flow through worm bin to build and most are too complicated and require more expensive materials. Yours is exactly what I've been looking for. I'm going to build one of these this summer.
Thank you for your excellent video. I have used your generous template to build my bed from Redwood. Since I only feed my worms organic home grown vegetables, I wanted to keep that theme going. I also used stainless steel for my bottom drain. I love that you used a rice bag. I wish I had an empty one now to use. Well done and thank you.
Please specify in title this relates to Basil only. I was hoping this was comparing different types of rooting medium eg. Powder, aloe vera, honey etc. Also sound is poor, we want to hear you!
Thank you very much !!! I have been doing some intelligent study into red wiggler composting worms. It's something thats is still infant in it's potential. You just showed me what will be my design. I will make 1/4" and 1/8" for vermicompost for teas. Tomorrow I start ! Thank you again so much.
