EVERY gardener and small farmer should be raising red worms. It is the easiest, cheapest, and best fertilizer and inoculant to make and use at home. This is my 3 bin modular worm system. You can build it using 3 totes or expand to as many as you want. It is super easy to take care of and maintain, requiring only 30 minutes of work every month. The worms harvest themselves and you never have to sort the worms from the castings! I'll show you how to build it from start to finish!
I recommend using either the same totes I use or another tote similar in size. It needs to be LDPE or HDPE plastic. I bought mine cheaper at home depot than amazon fyi. If the tote is too big they are too heavy to move, too small not enough castings. This 10 gallon size is a perfect medium. See below for products used in the building of the system.

Use a soldering iron to make your holes. The hole it makes pushes the melted material to the perimeter. When it hardens, the hole is much stronger and less prone to cracking. I think it takes less time than drilling because theres no need for cleanup ( no extra shredded plastic bits everywhere).

@scottwalz8970 5 лет назад

You are an amazing organic gardener. I wish I had met someone like you when I was a young gardener. And, there was no RU-vid back then! The information you are sharing is invaluable for organic gardeners. I had to do it the old fashion way, I collected my table scraps, newspaper, grass and hay cuttings and layered it on my garden in the winter. Covered it up with weed barrier to allow rain and snow to permeate and the next spring when I pulled back the weed barrier the worms made me jump in the air because they were the size of garter snakes! My plants that year were so prolific that the size of my tomatoes actually broke down the trellis!

@marjoriejohnson6535 3 года назад

For the first 12 years i had holes for drsinage in my worm beds...no longer. No holes ,control moisture bby adding carbon. Worm castings are much better now. Have been doing this now for about 18 years with no problems. And i only use cardboard sheets cut to fit for covers. Less fuss, less mess and better castings....even under microscope.

@TheRainHarvester Год назад

Same for my raised gardens! No drainage\lined with poly. I'm in hot central Texas. Where are you? I put my beds on my channel. They conserve water and work so much better!

@marjoriejohnson6535 Год назад

@@TheRainHarvester my worm farm was on stainless shelving units in my cellar. Sold all but 1 tub 2 years ago due to being disabled and bedridden. I am in the binghamton area of NYS. BEFORE GOING TO RESTRAUNT bins I did them the way I was told ..back in late 70's.?with holes in bottom of covered large tubs..I had a drain line to handle all of the leachate...was a lot of work. With my last system I spent less than 30 minutes once a week to turn ,feed and replace tubs to shelving unit.....all 20 of them...never leachate mess...only made worm tea when I wanted it.....

@onwednesdayswewearpink2761 4 года назад

I have been wanting a worm farm for 2 year. I live part of the year in an Airstream ,so I needed something the RV resort wouldnt complain about . I found a very cute teal blue worm hut for only $45 on amazon, most were close to $100 .Maybe its from being sheltered in place during the quarantine for over a week with only my pet bird.. But I cannot wait for my worm children to arrive.

@@NaturesAlwaysRight once you use the soldering needle for melting plastic, it's not good for soldering anymore. If you borrow a soldering iron, buy a new tip before you return it, or that person might not loan tools to you anymore. You could remove the tip and replace it with a brad before you start melting holes. When you're done, then put the original tip back in.

@unity4676 2 года назад

To clean the burrs from a drilled hole you can use an oversized bit to clean the holes both top and bottom. If you hold a few types of drill bits side by side, when you compare the cutting end, called the chisel, they have various angles/shapes and degree of cutting edge. Take note as you figure which angle works best for different materials. Also try different diameters for different base materials. Finally. If going the proper direction, clock-wise cuts to much material. Try going anti clock-wise to sort of ‘scrape’ the burrs away, as opposed to trying to drill them away. Hope this helps

Hey I just found a way to put holes in the plastic worm tubs with zero clean up. Materials Needed - pliers - (2) nails - torch - propane Easy just heat a nail up holding it with the pliers and puncture the plastic tub. Use a larger nail on some of the holes in only one side of the tub for the worm migration. This technique has a "hot glue gun" affect on the plastic. Hope this helps and thanks for all the knowledge you share. Peace and God bless.

@beebob1279 6 лет назад

My suggestion was to place a piece of wood under where you drill. It will keep the plastic from fraying. But, lukeo85 has the better idea with the hot solder tip. Great idea

@NaturesAlwaysRight 6 лет назад

Oh that's another interesting technique I'll try! Ya totally agree the solder tip makes the most sense.

@leeackerson2579 3 года назад

There are bits used for plexiglas to minimize burrs, forstner bits are also used for larger holes, but you may be able to find a 1/4" forstner bit. An alternative is to buy a good 1/4" hole punch and punch the hole with a plastic or wood backing, leaves a very clean hole. A countersink bit with a handle is better than a knife to deburr. Great video, thanks.

@futurecaredesign Год назад

The easiest way I have found to drill holes that you don't have to clean up is run the drill backwards. The drill still spins at a very high RPM so you basically melt your way through the plastic. It takes a bit longer but you make up that time by a ending with a clean hole. This works even better with hole saws. And when working with IBCs you avoid cracking that slightly harder plastic. And if you are looking for a flexible ruler to mark out curved plastic bins I haven't found something better than an old window blind.

Consider a hex bit or unibit hex drill bit. usually better for a smoother finish than standard bit. Also good for creating variation of size holes if needed or should you consider going larger on the spot.

@NaturesAlwaysRight 6 лет назад

Thanks for the tips. Those bits work well but I tried those bits and every kind of bit out there (I think) and nothing is able to drill LDPE as smoothly as I like without leaving residue. I haven't tried yet, but poking something hot like a soldering iron through the bin seems like a good option.

If you put a piece of stock, really anything dampening, on the back of what you're drilling and clamp it. You dont get those 'exit wound' kinda holes. I find burning holes still leaves a less severe version or the same issue. Use stock behind your drilling surface for the cleanest result.

@NaturesAlwaysRight 6 лет назад

Sweet you are welcome :) 1. Depends, more worms faster the colony builds. I'd say 1lb of worms per 10gallon or 40L bin is more than enough to get started. But I'm sure someone online has figured out the best practice on that. 2. Worm tea is an aerated tea meant to increase the microrganisms found in the worm castings. It is sprayed or watered in on plants. It can be made from compost or castings I'll be doing episodes on it in the future. 3. The liquid (leechate) that drains out from adding water to your bins is beneficial it has nutrient and microbes but nothing compared to what an aerated tea has. You should dilute the leechate 10 to 1 and add to water in your garden. 4. Keep your worm bin in the shade and covered and you will rarely water it, only in the summer is it necessary but it will depend on climate so you just need to check on the worms. It should be wet but not soggy and sloppy wet. They can handle a pretty wide range of moisture though and be fine. For most of the year the only moisture I add is whenever I add on a new tote and harvest teh castings. The biggest danger is letting the bins dry out or get too hot so keep it covered in summer. Under a tree is a good spot :)

When you drill your holes. ITs called reeming, you go back and forth/side to side with the drill bit, it can open the hole a tad bit bigger than you wanted to drill, but by doing so you drilll a smoother hole.
