Hungry Bin Worm Farm Experiment NO 3 NOW THIS IS A CHANGE! 

G'day mate, looks like it's a great system. Your garden is looking great. Stay safe and God bless you guys. 🦘👍

Nice that bin

Your back yard is turning into a tropical garden. Looking really good, u certainly know how to solve problems using the hungry bin,Marty

I was grossed out with the first few Hungry Bin harvests, but I’m liking it much better now. I agree that you can definitely use it to compost food waste and hold compost, as well as house the worms. I started putting food on only half the bin at a time, more frequent feedings but not over feeding (to avoid overheating) and placing a plastic bag-covered-cardboard directly over the compost. Now I have more activity on the top layer than before and less bugs and castings everywhere. I put food under a layer of leaves and that helps the bacteria get working on the food. When I was putting it on the top layer the food would get smelly, attract pests and then dry out-which doesn’t lend itself to the beneficial bacteria to work on it, as well as the worms won’t really work on dried out food. I’ve been using Neem cake in the worm bin and think there is less mites now. I love using the dried leaves in my area and the worms love it but I hate finding tiny slugs on the lid. I keep a little dish of DE or powdered worm food and drop them in it when I find them. I’ve been adding a Humichar, Azomite, & crab meal & mycorrhiza, as well as the Neem cake to supercharge my castings! Even some blackstrap molasses occasionally and I have happy worms. Another use for the hungry bin is a holding tank for extra worms! I will start a new worm bin in a bus bin and take a bunch of the worms from the hungry bin for the first month or two, then I will gather up at least half from the bus bin to return them to the hungry bin. The high population gets the bin off to a great start & they drop a bunch of cocoons, so i can grow my population. Then when I’m getting ready to harvest bins, I will start plucking out worms and put them in the hungry bin until I need them again. Because the hungry bin has such a large capacity, it’s been great to add or take worms from at my whim.

Great video Marty , I'm about to build a CFT worm farm out of an old whizz bin i have ,i reckon i will try loading it with this method and see how it goes.Thanks for sharing !

The Hungry Bin looks like a good system just a bit too big for where I live at the moment. Loving the videos and courses in the members area. Also the garden looks too notch, happy gardening. Cheers!

I llike your garden very nice 👍🏻

I often used my worm castings as needed, then add more bedding. So far it works. I have d old black worm farm with 3 layers ( 2 qt present working). Soon be time to find a cooler spot though, so will start a new layer, n as the warmth comes im sure I'll have more babies

Wow everything looks great

Wowww very nice garden had lot's of fruits green gree n all over

wow beautiful

I agree you have lots to teach

Hello Marty from NZ! My partner and I have two worm farms, we would love to use the casings and like you some of the compost, what about all the worms still in the castings an compost? can they go in the garden? Kind regards Lois & Steve

I have one and I agree that it is very difficult to harvest the castings at 72 hard to get low enough and so I use a small hand rake to claw it down. I have too many worms to take from the top

Yes improving product should be good You know what you are doing with worms :)

You have Lot's of experienced hope you can give me an advice if you don't mind?

Ah man dude I saw this huge worm when I was raking leaves. It was BLOODY HUGE!! It was hiding in a composting layer of leaves. I was thinking about adding it to my worm farm but I was thinking "This huge monster will eat all of the food before the others get the chance and I am not gonna depend on one worm for composting my food scraps."

Hi marty i have 2 worm farm and i was looking the course in ur website but i am not able to see the link i want to join the course and i want to breed them pls send the link for the course Thanks

Hey mate I where about on the mid north coat are you from I live at Port Macquarie

I love your garden and your composting but I don't got anything so I can't stay on topic. 😭

Did Hungry Bin ever contact you re your questions?

Spending $400 on a worm farm when youtube diy worm farms are prolific? I don't think so

Interesting content and a brilliant use of your limited space!… Your results are are in direct opposition to the manufactures narrative. So the conclusion is; Don’t waste your hard earned money on this woefully underperforming product.
