They love autumn leaves
Do worms actually go to top tray?
I have not seen that happen in my own 2 bin system.
How would you get them to migrate up?
I used this method with the 3 trays to build my worm farm. It's so much easier than trying to manually separate the worms from the castings. My worms have been so happy for the last year, that I've added another tray because they are reproducing so quickly. I keep them indoors so I don't have to work around the extreme hot/cold weather here. I'm so glad I found this video. Thank you!
Can i ask where you bought your boxes from. Since viewing this fab video i have been looking everywhere and just can't find them anywhere.
How long does the worms live?
Anyone have a suggestion for recycled plastic bins in the US? I love the sites suggested but not available in US. Rubbermade makes recycled tote bins but pretty big. Any suggestions welcome.
This is wonderful if I get home early enough from babysitting so I can start it
How long does it take for the liquid seep through, or do you need to water them?
Than you. I've been wanting to do this for a long time!
How do you stop slugs moving in or should I just accept that they also help with the process. I regularly find large greenish/yellow mottled slugs, much bigger than the air holes inside enjoying the food in the wormery
What was that base layer you put the worms in? I didn’t quite understand what you said. And could I use decomposed saw dust for the base layer?
where can one get containers like such?!
Marvelous; adore the simplicity of your process, perfect for worry-warts! Muchas gracias.
What bins are these
So I’m making this exact worm container confirming that the middle bin does not have side holes towards the top of it.. That’s only for the top bin correct
Just making sure I’m getting this correct where do you put the burlap -on the top of the soil of the top bin, how do you know when to interchange out the second and top bin?
When you switch the containers because one is full do you fill with scraps and compost or just scraps? If just scraps why do the worms go up to an empty tray with just scraps
This is what I was looking for….. simple, straight forward, to the point, not an infomercial…… thanks.
Could I use time to time the worms for fishing?
Very informative, just couldn’t watch as the plastic from the drill fell into the grass, I’d be out with a vacuum lol
Do you add more compost or is that all worm casings built up over time?
I have a question, I have a big black cone composter (in the UK) that I put nothing but kitchen scraps into, it has got 1000's of red worms in it which have appeared naturally, I stir the mix every time I add new scraps to get worms to the top. The compost bin is about 2/3 full, how long before I can scrape the compost out the bottom? I am worried about taking out too many worms or disturbing them too much, please advise…
Excellent. Thank you
After alot of plastic box searching ive Just bought some 20l euronorm boxes from solent plastics there perfect for the job
Do you add soil to the " new " top box ?
Always enjoyed your channel from the very start , thank you.
