Worm composting directly in the garden bed simplifies the process of vermicomposting. The worms live, work, reproduce, and make worm castings in the garden bed, right where they are needed.
In-bed vermicomposting solves the problem of what to do with the worms during extremes of hot and cold. For example, vermicomposting in hot weather places like the low desert of Arizona is difficult unless you bring the worms inside during the summer months. With in-bed vermicomposting, the worms simply burrow deeper in the beds during the heat of an Arizona summer and then emerge again in the fall.

Ha ha, I have cooked worms too, felt really bad about it! Love in bed vermicomposting!! One thing that I do is cut a hole the size of a small pot in the lid, and pop a potted plant in. That way I don't have to unscrew the lid to put food scraps in, I just take the pot out and put them in. Plus it looks prettier than those obvious white lids in my garden beds. Thanks for sharing - your worms look so happy!!!

I use smaller containers and even have them in my planting containers. As long as they have holes for air flow and for the worms to travel around, any covered container will work. Also, watering them also waters the plant roots. Be sure and add used coffee grounds to the kitchen scraps.

What I have noticed in my compost bin when all the materials have decomposed was that the compost was always wet even if I haven’t watered it. I don’t want to dry it coz, it would kill the worms so I spread it around my plant wet plus the worms in it. Also, I put all scraps in my bin including seeds( tomatoes, squash,avocados, mangoes) and noticed afterwards, they sprouted. I get my vegetable seedlings from my bin. The small compost bins buried in the middle of the bed is an excellent idea and very practical. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Angela! I have been watching your videos for a couple of years now and still consider myself a newbie gardener. This video though takes the #1 spot for me out of all the gardening videos I have ever watched. I have never been so excited over worms! I believe it’s because I have seen first hand how important worms are for my garden. I immediately ordered buckets and am now on the search for worms in my area of northern California. If no luck, I’ll have to order them. Thanks so much for sharing! I can’t wait to put them in.

Excellent! I am a beginner on a budget. I buried plastic pots (with good drainage) in my raised veggies beds. Direct compost in them and put a second, slightly smaller pot inside first pots. The second pot has a little soil and something short and lightweight, like pansies. I pick the pansy pot up to add kitchen scraps and cardboard. It's happy from roots up. Compost us disposed if where dig won't get it. The worms and veggie beds are fed. Ta Da!

2 years ago I had grown my worm bins to 32 count!!! I was originally going to sell kits at the farmers market and was set to pull the trigger when we had our Covid shut down. All that hard work. The shaded area that I stored the bins was no longer shady and I didn't have another location to store the bins so I had to make some exec. decisions. I happened to use 6 inch black pipe from a neighbor in construction and had 4 ct 3' pipes left. It takes up less garden bed space and is limited as to what you can put in. However I don't put any bedding in the bin. The worms live in my garden beds and only enter the tubes to feed. So the castings are readily available to the plants year around and the worms always move as temps require. I have some buckets that will be easy to convert to worm bins. Pretty soon I won't have any compost piles sitting around. The worms are hard workers. One note of caution: (Worms attract moles so if you hate moles you'll have to figure out if worms are the answer for you)

I don't have experience with the cold, but I'm guessing they burrow down like the other worms in your garden naturally do and then emerge in the spring. If your beds are directly on the soil they could go further in the ground. But that is just a guess.

I place my red wiggled in my raised beds this past summer. I have the opposite problem. Our winters are freezing for months. I did not think they would survive but last week the snow melted away from my raised beds and I had 2 big black garbage bags of leaves on one of the beds and when I lifted them up the ground was covered with red wiggles. So I made an early order of 24 bags of leaves for all of my raised beds for this coming winter 2021

@@GrowingInTheGarden Yeah, our nighttime temperature was and still is in the teens,. 20's, and low 30's. Our daytime temperatures were mostly 20's 30's and on a warm day 40's. In the month of February, we were hit with multiple snowstorms. So the beds had a couple feet of snow on them. Which is good insulation (so I was told). My beds are about 20 inches high I have a layer of cedar blocks as the base and 2x10 on top. I did not see any worms in the other beds. It is not to say the worms did not survive just I did not see them. Only in the bed with the bags of leaves. BUT this coming fall I'm adding large garbage bags full of leaves to all of the raised beds. For insurance that my hard-working red wiggles survive our winters.

I am in San Diego and have used in raised bed vermicomposting for over a year and have not experienced ants or other critters. The bin I use has a screw top lid. I hope you give it a try.

Thanks for this. I harvested my first crop of castings yesterday.So much simpler than a standard wormery which I gave up on because of tge difficult and time consuming faff of harvesting castings and rescuing worms.I love that I can be a bit less regimented with this way of composting. I also love harvesting the produce and starting the recycling process immediately by feeding the bins with the spent plants. Today I will be putting 4 more bins in beds.Its also great for helping reduce the leaf mould mountains😂 Thank you so much again Happy Gardening from Hereford UK.❤

Thank-you! Compost that doesn't has become a problem here. Eventually it breaks down, but SO slowly! This seems like a great process! I Subscribed!

In a way that is how my grandfather gardener in 1950...and before...and the way I have planted pots on my deck...will be doing this again this coming season. Glad you shared this idea because I have no idea of how to and not interested in learning.

I already harvested about 1/2 lb of worms from my inside worm bins and put those in 1 bucket and just today received an order of 1 lb of red wigglers which I divided up into 2 more buckets. While waiting on those worms already materials in the buckets and Im sure microbial action is started. Looking forward to see what happens in the next few months. Hopefully I will have luck similar to your fantastic work there. Totally impressed with what youve done.

I also live where it gets very cold , in nw WI ( not in the coldest part though, I'm just S. of hwy 64. About zone 4a I think ). I plan on having chickens again, when we buy a place again ( and am no longer in limbo, in rentals ) and probably mostly doing the chicken-accessed compost piles ala Geoff Lawton , in the style of Perma Pastures ( channel here on YT ). All of my scraps will go in them or to pigs ( idk about pigs yet, but I find that anything supposedly toxic for chickens to eat, like raw potato peels, they don't, anyways. At least, well fed chickens on pasture, don't ). But back to being cold and these garden bins - I was thinking for awhile of doing these, and thought maybe for winter, I'd have bags of leaves around each pail and one on top of lid. Just to help insulate it all, keep things active for longer. Other thought is to have a hoop-house greenhouse, in which I use scraps and animal bedding to make a hot bed(s). Get one going sooner in fall, then another, later. Have to watch out for gasses in there, then, but can be great for growing more veg that can handle the shorter daylight hours. Maybe put a couple of these pails in the beds and be able to add for awhile even after the main bulk is set up and doing it's thing. Channel " DirtPatchHeaven" has more on hot beds in hoop house in winter.

I did it. I went to AZ worm farms today and got worms. Drilled holes in a bucket and got it into my garden bed. I’ve had pest problems and had a hard time getting my vegetables to grow, so starting with the soil. I planted some transplants today from AZ worm farm and I hope they make it! Thank you for this channel! I come back to it over and over!
