How To Make A Worm Bin

[@jerrylane372]

That 6" deep is so much easier to move around than the deeper rubbermaids when they are moist

You had me at, "I don't know what happened. I used to be normal." Same Sir, Same! 😂

Ziploc licensed the Weathershield box to IRIS. IRIS offers a 30 qt. in black that is the same dimensions except for height. It is 1 inch deeper. Still has the foam seal and can be converted to a worm bin exactly like the Ziplocs. I offer them for sale on iowawormcomposting.com You can also purchase from IRIS International. Hope this helps you out.

What type of leaves do the red wigglers like, as of now I only give them maple leaves as I know they are safe, but would appreciate if they could have a better verity of different types please? I have a big gallon glass jar of Ginko Biloba leaves & if I "can" give them some then they would make more babies, even though I have enough at this time... Thank you for the list of options on the leaves as needed, as I've done research & I can't get anywhere with knowing... Thank you Rick, take care & stay safe bud...

I like your bin design- could you show us what you use to make your bedding? Your compost comes out great and I feel a lot of what makes great compost is how you set up their bedding and what you feed them. I will keep checking back.thank you so much for the great videos!! keep worming!!!

Thanks for the comment and suggestion. I will make a video about making the bedding and feeding. Moisture control helps to keep your casting nice. Thanks for watching.

Iowa Worm Composting great video! You mention moisture control being important but there are no drainage holes in your design. How do you keep the bin from getting to wet and acidic?

The black Ziploc Weathershield Box is out of stock and will not come back. Any suggestion to prevent worms to escape? Thanks.
