This is one of the easiest ways to make a quick worm farm for very little money, you can spend a few more dollars to get a bigger sized box like 80 liters but I have a smaller, sweeter box, the worms are in and busy at work and I hope to get very good quality compost from it and I will use it for growing seeds and hopefully some tropical fruits… It took me about 10 minutes to get everything ready and make and if the box is not opaque cover in a bin bag and place a stick on the lid to let air through. It’s very important to NEVER put fatty foods in such as meat or cheese in the wormery but greens and veggie scraps are the gold! Remember to drill the holes smaller enough so that flies can’t get in and use a tray to collect the compost tea, Please check out these great channels:

hi baby do you know how to make a aquarium soil at home
Stop the music
Worms from your garden? No. Wrong. Take this vid down. Your vids are usually spot on. But not this one. Garden worms belong in your…garden. They are good because they create space for air, so the root of your plants don't drown. Worms for composting create vermicompost with their shit, or "tailings" and that can be used to bring nutrients to your soil. What nutrients? The ones in the veggie scraps you gave the worms to eat. So, to summarize: One worm oxygenates your soil, the other kind bring nutrients. The best types of worms for vermicomposting are red wigglers (Eisenia fetida) and redworms (Lumbricus rubellus). These two species make great worms for the compost bin because they prefer a compost environment to plain soil, and they are very easy to keep. Worms that feed on vegetable waste, compost, and organic bedding produce richer casting than those that feed on plain soil. You won’t find red wigglers in garden soil. You may find redworms near compost, under rotting logs, and in other organic situations. The problem is identifying them. You won’t be able to tell the difference between Lumbricus rubellus and other worms, so it’s best to buy them. If you don’t have a local supplier, you can order them on the Internet. It takes one pound of worms (1,000 individuals) to start a good-sized compost bin.

why does everyone interested in worms, have that annoying English accent?
Thank you for this video! This is exactly what I have been looking for. It's a simple diy with big results.
P.s. Great accent! Never loose it ✌
Wat is det
thank you and well done
This guy's accent is much more comprehensible than all those Americans… Ignore all the hate
Thank you – you made this really easy to follow. I'm quite a novice so It's got me started really well. If I paint one of these bins will it be toxic though. I bought two clear boxes just like yours. Thanks once again
Will the worms not escape through the holes and n the bottom of the box?
you forgot to put some kind of tray under your worm farm…it's gonna leak all over the place.
Hard to watch. Gave me cancer.
Welcome gifts of carrot and apple. Sweet.
You did great job man! you should be proud of your self, even though am an Arab, but you're accent to me is like my mother talking to me 🙂 keep it up and visit us when possible http://www.farmstay.ae
Nothing mentioned on how long before the new worms are able to be harvested
Huw great video. Shared to my daughter , hoping we will make one.
Great video as always.
2 cents of my advice…. Use less food scraps. And I use a blender or food processor. They eat about half their body weight per day. Also place food on one side or the other.
Other than that, I'm going to my thrift store to buy more bins.
Thanks for sharing!!!
Good video. Right to the point, too.
2019 Here. Gonna build this really quick!
Enjoyed….
Still waiting for the update ..
Great video thank you bery much. Robert D. Miles Owner of TIMESTREAM PICTURES.COM
Here in the US, I drill 1/8" holes in the bottom – liquids can drain out but the holes are too small for worms to easily pass through. I drill the same size holes in the upper parts of the sides instead of the lid – that way rain water can't flood the worm bin. I use window screening and a hot glue gun to cover the holes in the sides to prevent worms from escaping and bugs from getting in.
What size drill bit did you use to make the holes
Boooooo, way more then 5 dollars, you lie.
Won't the worms wiggle out of the bottom holes?
