How I build a worm composting tower from recycled buckets for under 10 bucks.

In this video I will show you how I build a 3-tier worm composting tower from 3 x 5 gallon buckets and a few other materials. You can use composting worms and this system to transform some of your kitchen and garden waste into a 100% organic fertilizer for your plants, trees, and soil.

This video answered pretty much everything i wondered and also, the neighbors music kind of added some "tutorial music" haha great work friend🤙🏽

[@GoodLifeinChiangMaiThailand]

I want to let you know this video answered so many questions that other videos on the same subject failed ! Well done 🙏

I love the idea of using the bottle caps. I might have to do that on my kiddie pools for the ducks to make for easier clean up.

[@AngieLibertad_CineComunitario]

I am grateful for your posting this video. I am in the southernmost state of México myself and recognized the manteca buckets. I am going to start my own vermicomposter following your advice.

EXACTLY what I was looking for, THANK YOU!! 🤩

[@dragonmanmark]

Now that I know how to build a worm composting bucket system I can't wait to go to sleep tonight fot the knowledge of how to use it will come to me in my dreams.

[@woutervandenbosch8161]

Wow, just seeing how you made your own tap hole and what you used... You are a genius! Thx for that tip man!!

[@nhn8122]

You are Greatness. Thanx for sharing, and explaining so well

[@BodyCulinary]

This is so helpful. Thank you. 🌻

[@TheKenpachi_]

I love this and I tried it and it's working so well!!

[@AlvinMcManus]

Elaborate and elegant and simple too! Quite the feat. I'll still buy the $4 beer brewer tap, but your bottle cap is very clever.

[@MissJean63]

Please make more videos. I’m interested.Thank you do much.

[@samuelritchie5987]

Awesome tower, love your attention to reducing waste. did the bolt system hold up with continued age / use? what about using those plastic pucks from the drilling as washers?

[@mattschwartz915]

Great video! How many worms do you recommend starting with for this size worm bin?

[@CuriousEarthMan]

I wonder if a 'step drill' type of bit might help in sizing the drain hole opening just right. I like what you did there for the tap! The fly screen circle for the lid could be cut an inch or two smaller in diameter to do the trimming before the screen is applied, saving a step. Does the leachate need air not to anaerobic and smell bad? It's seems maybe the bottom bucket could be simplified to a pan and tube and jug. But I like what you did! Really good! Thank you or sharing it! How do you keep them warm in winter or cool in summer?

[@mariacorazonlua2532]

Hi, great video; many thanks. I plan to make it ; may I know what type of fly screen you used, is it plastic or metal screen.

[@Rockrest007]

Hi, wondering how did u harvest from the top bin? Does it automatically fall into the 2nd bin or is it too sticky.

[@wendyperez8714]

Will the earthworms not get sliced when sliding over the netting on the sides of the buckets? And I see that your buckets are not snug since they're elevated with the rods. What prevents the earthworms from crawling up through those gaps? Finally, I see a lot of videos where spigots are used. The spigots are so close to the bottom of the bucket that I don't see how you can slide anything under it to catch the liquid assuming the bins are on the floor. As far as I can tell, you'd have to lift the entire setup OR disassemble the tiers to get that bucket to empty it out. I've never drilled holes in the bottom of my bin and find I have no excess liquid that requires being removed. This is not worm tea that you are collecting. It is leachate which is quite anaerobic and not a good thing to use in your garden. Worm tea is made by using the actual castings with water and aerating it. Your concept is good but I think it needs some tweaking.

[@mjschwartzenburg]

Does the top bucket rest on the bedding of the 2nd bucket?

[@yusufauliarahman1]

Great video, definitely will try this. Please make the update video, especially vermicompost harvesting.

[@1010JenFriend]

Can I just throw my worm compost into my indoor plant soil? Or do I need to do anything to it?

[@AlvinMcManus]

Do you have drawn plans some where? You should really publish an instruction kit. Sell it for $1.25 a pdf!

[@shortattention7673]

You mentioned selling an already made one?

[@TheKenpachi_]

I built it in august

[@masej1639]

I'm not trying to be rude but I personally think that the camera man/woman should use a tripod to stop all that movement. Great video though! Keep it up.

[@vikas64233]

Each bucket first and second from down has space to worms to escape at mouth of bucket, for that what to do?

[@liamliam5341]

I have the same question.

[@lamvuonchannel8300]

Thanks...your internet connection to me

[@tomharries847]

what is the idea behind having 3 ribs around the top of the bucket?

[@CuriousEarthMan]

I think you mean the ribs that strengthen the bucket by reinforcing the upper part, so less plastic is needed. I count four in total. That is how strength and rigidity are engineered into the container, if I understand your question.
