Have you ever tried using a Charlotte PVC pipe in the center of your garden bed? Drill holes throughout the pipe and insert about 24” into the soil with 24” sticking out. Add your kitchen scraps and garden clippings directly into the pipe and the worms will use it as a nursery with adults distributing the nutrients throughout the bed. This eliminates the need for separate vermiculture bins, buying a bin or trash can, emptying the bin or checking when the bin is done composting, feeding or watering the bins, etc

Great idea!

[@evavargova42]

Thank you for this. I was actually really intimidated by doing this type of composting but you have really clarified the process. ❤

[@jtballin1863]

Thank you for making this sir

[@ZenGardenOasis.]

My pleasure

[@mangoyacho]

Thank you for sharing the screen idea. I have so many invador insects in my compost bin and your idea of adding a window screen is such a great idea! Thank you! I also have another question, I thought that the worms themselve produce "worm wee" so how do you empty the "worm wee" when you use your method that does not have a drain🤔

[@beverleybrangman2191]

Great video thank you. I use the worms in my regular compost bin, and transfer them gently when I start a new one. I will try to get a bin to focus on vermi composting. I learned some new things also

[@ZenGardenOasis.]

Sounds great!

[@GmanfromTexas]

Very interesting

[@ZenGardenOasis.]

Glad you think so!

[@GH-yf2dq]

Thanks for all this great info. Your claim that it costs around $25 in misleading though. I have added up the start up cost of this worm bin based on your recommendations. Bin-$22, 4-1 moisture meter-$22, Coconut block-$25, Worms-$24. That's about 100 bucks!!! Not $25.

[@ZenGardenOasis.]

Actually mine was 0. Container used for Christmas decor, moisture meter (every Gardner already has one), coconut coir leftover from other projects, worms free from my raised beds. Every problem has a solution if your willing to search. Happy gardening.

ty ty sir

[@ZenGardenOasis.]

Hope you have success in your garden.

[@ghostridersghost]

@@ZenGardenOasis. first year .....many rabbet holes to go down but i like the plan talk you do

[@icecreamladydriver1606]

Are you saying to make your hole, add castings then the plant? Thanks for the video.

[@robertevans8024]

I never use white paper that's been bleached. And a paper shredder makes it much easier to process the brown paper bags and cardboard.

[@GimmeADream]

There are very few things about gardening that I haven't at least tried. Vermiculture is one of them. I might just try putting something together. Watching this video, I realize I have all of what is necessary right here and can still dig worms out of the garden. hmmmmmmm!

[@ZenGardenOasis.]

Yes it’s a simple build. I recommend having 2 to increase compost production.

[@GimmeADream]

That can be done, lol. Thanks! @@ZenGardenOasis.

[@umairsafdar4927]

thanks for the clear demonstrations but one question, are the ordinary earth worms of my garden are suitable for this purpose? or they are of some special kind

[@ZenGardenOasis.]

Common earthworms are fine

[@BrendaBodwin]

Is thete aby reason why you cant just put the worms in the garden?

[@DenisDeCharmoy-fl3ht]

I use a hot glue gun to glue down the screen. Thanks from South Africa

[@heavenbound78]

great video and thank you, but i really need a good source for true red wrigglers, not indian blue worms as what the recommended source that you linked. have you encountered a better source?

[@ZenGardenOasis.]

Try local bait shops.

[@JJamiah]

Don’t use Uncle Jim’s as it’s over 1/2 of Indian blue worms in their red wrigglers mix. It should be blue Indian mix.

[@greid9349]

How many worms did you put in a container that size? My 3 year old needs to know so he can start hunting/digging. All about setting goals and learning to count higher

[@ZenGardenOasis.]

Few dozen

[@eddieandjulieklysz458]

Can you put sweet potato leaves in your worm bin ?

[@JJamiah]

Yes you can.

[@JJamiah]

Yes, you can add sweet potato leaves inside.

[@lynda6192]

have you got an easy way to remove worms when you're ready to use it? ive got a couple of levels in my wormery about ready to use, but I've not yet figured out how to remove the worms 🤣

[@ZenGardenOasis.]

Add new scraps to only one side and they will migrate over to them in 24-48 hours.

[@lynda6192]

Ah OK thanks, so expect they can move between levels, as there's mesh between that they can get through, so I only put food in the top level, so by this logic, they should go up to the top level? They probably have I haven't looked since autumn other than to chuck fresh food in ... the 2 bottom layers looked awesome then, will be using it for my spring veggie repotting 😂

[@debbiedoll2294]

Can I collect the worms from aged manure pie to seat this?

[@smokeystover6879]

How many worms are needed in container?

[@ZenGardenOasis.]

I just ordered 100 red wigglers for a new composter.

[@janicemoyer854]

Check out Patrick at Vermicomposting youtube channel. He has several different types of containers one of which is grow bags with over 1000 worms. He freezes the food scraps first because they break down faster and add the needed moisture. He feeds every 3-4 weeks in each of his bins. It does depend upon the number of worms you have for sure. They do multiply quickly…but don’t feed every 3-4 days, thats too much. If you use shred shredded cardboard for bedding, they will eat that and have plenty enough to keep them happy and healthy.

[@JJamiah]

@@janicemoyer854definitely one way to do it. Thank goodness there’s multiple ways to get the job done and right. You can feed your worms every 3-4 days with out harming your worms. As long as you don’t over feed the worms that’s fine. Slow foods should’nt be fed every 3-4 days because they wouldn’t have broken down by then (so add sparingly). Worm chow is every 2-3 days depending on the amount given and you shouldn’t add more than they can finish at 2-3 days time. While, fast foods can be fed every 3-7 days! When I’m giving a Bin a feeding, I use all of the methods to give them variety. As you can see, it All depends! ❤😊

[@ginnypeveto7168]

Are coffee grounds ok?

[@ZenGardenOasis.]

Absolutely…happy gardening

[@toysintheclosetshop5443]

I have chickens therefore Kitchen Scraps = Chicken food. Can I use paper or cardboard instead?

[@ZenGardenOasis.]

I think so. Happy gardening

[@RhinoDNA]

Is that a 27 gallon tote?

[@ZenGardenOasis.]

I think it was
