[@theangryrooster2113]

Love these tours, the thing that is nice is everyone does things a little different. It's very informative and extremely interesting. Thank you!

Wow. I started in Sept 2022. With 1 about 2 lbs of worm. 1 lbs red wiggler. Half ENC and half ANC. I put them on one 102 liter bin. I have now Ten 102 bin. Instead of breeding my bin and harvesting. what im doing at the moment is i just keep splitting the worm in half every 6 months into new bin. im doing it in my basement... i been thinkjng to sell my house and moving in acreage so i can scale my worm farm and i just got some idea from this video...thanks, Matt and Bill.

Thanks for coming up for a tour, Captain Matt! It was great to meet in person.

[@CaptainMattsWorms]

Thank you, Bill! The tour made our day. Keep up the great work!

What zone are you in bill? I'm in 6b st.louis the cold is why I'm hesitant on starting mine. The door is brilliant. Great video thanks for sharing your ideas.

@@rondavis2791 We're in zone 5a - near the south-eastern edge of the Adirondack Mountains in upstate NY. It's not unheard of to see -20F a few times in a winter. We can keep our worms alive through deep freezes because 1) they are sheltered in the barn 2) the mass of material (manure and finished castings) is significant 3) the "box" they are in is insulated, and 4) we use seedling heat mats to help mitigate temperatures on the coldest days/nights

Hey Bill, for about $100 at harbor freight you can get an electric hoist to lift that heavy door, just a thought. Keep up the good work

[@A-V]

These visits with worm farming operations are so, so cool. Thank you Capt Matt for bringing us to check out Bill's operation... and thank you to Bill also - very, very cool!

[@CaptainMattsWorms]

Glad to have you along for the tour, A-V … I can’t count the number of people I’ve shown your video to explain how vermicomposting works - Everyone should watch that one kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5S0ineZpshjhM0si=DJ99TsBs7a1ibBbf

I think what he does is amazing. It’s a very good way to get the community educated, interested and involved in going organic. I have taken a lot away from this segment, thanks!

[@wormsarealiens]

So glad you two got to meet, and thanks for making the video! We visited Bill in 2022 and the cover for the worm wedge was in development. Great to see it in action! More tours pls, Captain Matt!

I’m in the planning phase of establishing a sustainable EcoFarm training center. And this tour is an inspiration. Helping me get my “Ducks in a Row”. Thanks. I’m n Mississippi.

I work for a large produce company you wouldn't believe how much we threw away in the garbage. Our produce came in from Phoenix, Which was the company's hub, I'm in to that location and then up to our location which was in Salt Lake City Utah. Those large open top containers we would fill 2 of them up totally full and then they take it to the landfield to be buried.

Looking good!

[@flatsville9343]

His wedge bin door designed for bucket entry is very clever. Did you note any other construction details? Did you notice the insulating panels brand & thickness? Thnx for interviewing him.

[@victorsr6708]

Just a thought….. for about $150 you can buy an electric winch at harbor freight for the heavy door

[@brentjenkinsdesigns]

Inspiring to say the least.

Noob question... is covering a mound this thoroughly necessary? Is there any predictable reasons a mound like this wouldn't work outside, covered with a tarp? I notice a lot of worm farmers do their composting outside, and casting operations either under a roof (Arizona worm farm) and one step further most seem to be inside. Any reasons I should avoid attempting to do a mound outside? The plan was to have 3 sides with an open face covered with a tarp and fenced in from wildlife. What do you guys think?

[@CaptainMattsWorms]

Hey there LazyDog 🤣 in upstate ny the frost layer can go feet down - necessary for extended below zero weather unless you want to dig deep trenches (think worn basements)! Other locations more south have many more options.

[@jackansmash]

Hey I just started worm farming and I made a deal with a local shop and I need to scale my production to 2700 nightcrawlers in a few months can you give me some tips and a idea of how much i would need

[@CaptainMattsWorms]

Hey Jack… check out these videos kzbin.info/aero/PLKzFtsW8wBf9ynidOo9Xw56OYsEhzKyJN&si=jnb_-kfKDRmf-Gxb … and check out the “Learn to Worm” course at WormPeople.com for the foundational knowledge

[@craignelson535]

You might ask why was there so much thrown away, The packer's pack I'm so tight That you have damage no matter what it is you've got damage and we can't sell it to the consumer so it goes into a garbage container

[@dnawormcastings]

Great video there should be more people like him 🇳🇿🪱
