Ever wondered if there’s an alternative to stackable tote systems for vermicomposting? Wonder no more! Flow through systems are typically suspended in the air and only use one chamber to process food scraps into worm castings. Better yet, you don’t have to deal with switching up totes, other bugs laying eggs in your bins, etc.
Now there’s still advantages to building a DIY tote system, but if you want to take a peek at a different type of vermicomposting, this might be for you.
Today I compare both methods, put together a flow through system, fill it with red wigglers and scraps, and show you the progress over 2 weeks.

Can you do a video on harvesting with the urban bag 2.0 with the drawstring?
I had two comments with questions that were answered before the video ended. Delete delete. Patience really pays off sometimes.
I have a scrap of canvas I'll try to build a system like this and see if I can make it work for free.
Btw did you see that pink pineapple that had the stem cutoff. It was done to prevent buyers from growing it.
There are no holes to breathe how will they breathe
Migration method is so good to separate the worms and will not create heat in the container or else they will suffocate .
What’s the difference, Verizon 1 of this now costs $116, version 2 costs $242, a tote system from HD or Lowe’s will cost about $20. That’s the real difference.
I don't use any bedding in my worm bin, and I only give my worms precooked egg shells that went through my blender and than that's their grit, and than they eat whatever I feed them but only vegan and I'm careful to keep out gmo of possible.
Thank you for the education. May I ask where you go for worms?
Composting is great for everyone and you have on hand fishing bait at your hands
i didn’t know that you can just like order worms lol
you say lets check the worms for quality but you dont describe WHY they look good
you say diversity is good for bedding what else that is cost-free would you suggest? dried leaves would be good I guess?
Aging casting is essential after harvest. you missed it
Please do a follow up video, and/or a video where you simply collect the worm castings from both systems so we can see how it works. You already do a great job explaining it, better than the other videos I looked up. But I would really like to see it in action before I dive in myself
Just got an idea for a flow through system using a laundry bag, trash can and 1*1 pieces of wood. I'll let you know how it comes out
Honestly if your farming for fish bait a big tote with no lid and covering over the soil is the best easiest way
Thank you for the white board explanation — I am a visual person thus watching videos on Gardening
Could you use sawdust? I try to not move stuff all over the earth to just grow food.
I start worm colonies with literally just a random handful from an older colony, no bedding or nothing, I just start throwing in decaying stuff
I like your home made stackable bins better !!
Where does the tea come from?
The necessary downtown nutritionally brake because santa correlatively bruise after a complex steel. chunky, clammy november
Great video man . tons of useful information. This was a big help for my project. Thanks so much
Why can't you do the same thing as the cft bag in a compost bin?
Hey I bought this based on your video but I just want to let you know please don’t advertise it or at least put some cons. For instance mine was bad materials and the metal bars broke and didn’t fit properly during install. Second the zipper broke. Third the bag was too large it sank to ground so basically I couldn’t even get the bottom to fall down. Ugh I regret buying this plastic pos.
What are the temperature thresholds of this type of worm bins? I live in the desert where it reaches 120+ in the shade. I would hate to buy this just to lose everything to the heat. If you could advise, I would appreciate it.
