[@dantheairboatman1234]

How far apart are the pipes center to center, thanks A build sheet would be greatly appreciated, thanx

[@cristakorniski327]

Watching and loving your videos in Northern Canada. Can't wait for the next one!

[@stevenmyers1289]

Another great video. Looking forward to the next one!

[@RK-aDevotedLife]

Thank you for sharing! So happy to see what you are doing!

[@CaptainMattsWorms]

I’m thrilled to share this info with you!

[@RK-aDevotedLife]

I was wondering if you have any numbers for your business? I’m in Texas and I wouldn’t even know where to begin other than as a hobby for myself.

[@mariahenschel2557]

Yay! I’m part of Captain Matt’s worm crew! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.

[@obviousness8113]

I've enjoyed all your videos. Keep posting. This is great content 👍

[@peggyhelblingsgardenwhatyo7920]

This is brilliant 👏 Thanks for sharing 👍

[@ianhaskins6281]

Could you put casters on the frame with how heavy it gets? I would have to move mine into a shed in the winter.

[@paullynds3]

Great content and teachings

[@nikolausschwabe]

Good day, I follow all your videos and have great success with my African Night Crawlers thanks to your advices. Now I like to build a CFT. Is it working with my worms too or only with red wriggler? I ask because my ANC are mostly at the bottom of the bins. Thank you.

[@philipkrauss4988]

If your doing this, how do you keep it so it’s organic? conduit? Non treated wood?

[@itssmythe]

Great work Matt!!! Thanks

[@sic-n-tiredtired4273]

Love the videos I'm learning a lot. How far are you spreading your piping apart on the bottom ? I love this can't wait to get my worms. 👍

[@jillbruyrjr4763]

Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to part 3!

[@CaptainMattsWorms]

Jill, You’re welcome! We’re recording part 3 tonight!

[@2700Kenny]

Captain Matt you have the best worm 🪱 design on KZbin. What is the spacing on the piping?? Thank you so much.

[@CaptainMattsWorms]

1” keep it to hold the soil

[@2700Kenny]

Thank you sir. 🪱🪱🪱

[@keithnelson4426]

This great stuff im sure you will get many views. Thx for filling in the blanks 😁

[@kevinjackson1370]

Any reason that you couldn't clamp the sides and drill all the holes at once before you install them?

[@julieatkins8146]

You are awesome thank so much

[@scottb1002]

Great setup. Im running some 5 gal buckets as I get those for free right now but as I grow I'm definitely going to build this setup but probably half length.

[@CaptainMattsWorms]

Good plan, Scott. We built a half size bin that we plan on featuring soon in a video.

[@scottb1002]

@@CaptainMattsWorms Ill look for it. Was considering building one and putting on casters so I can move around as needed.

[@cherylhobbs1091]

Also I'm wondering how many pipes you ended up installing? And from center to center of pipes - what is that measurement please? Thank you Matt - this is exciting!!

[@CaptainMattsWorms]

48 pipes I used a pipe as my spacer=1inch

[@cherylhobbs1091]

@@CaptainMattsWorms aha - yes - thank you!!

[@howdychick30]

​@CaptainMattsWorms In your drawing, it states using 1" pipe, and in the video, you state you're using 3/4" pipe. Which do you prefer/recommend using?

[@dannywilson5732]

How many 10 ft. section of piping did you use for this project?

[@CaptainMattsWorms]

Hey Danny… you can check out the description for schematics.

[@Peasbeuponyou]

Great info on all your videos, thank you for sharing your work! Why not just hot glue the PVC pipes in place? I think it would hold just as well and you wouldn't have to use all those screws and deal with all the work of drilling and screwing all those pipes.

[@dougayers7517]

I think you should also put a plywood floor in it, sitting on top of the 2x4 base. This will make it easier to rake the casting off the plywood flooring and into a dust pan or flat head shovel. Currently the harvesting method involves trying to get all the castings off the floor and up over the 2x4 base with that flat wooden rake you have and I am sure many castings are left on the floor. So harvesting leaves a mess I would guess. By raking the castings down onto a wooden floor that is sitting on top of the 2x4 base, then you can sweep all the casting into a dust pan and leave very little mess if any at all. The additional cost would be 1 extra sheet of plywood. Also, can it be put on heavy duty casters so it can be rolled around the shop?

[@rofishy2]

I don’t think there are casters strong enough for the weight he has. I’d probably make a free float frame like an aquarium stand and do the ply wood floor idea and water proof it with marine grade fiber glass resin on the frame. I’m going to build one, I’ll coat the bin with pond shield and make a glass window on the front, using the fiber glass resin where the glass will be siliconed.

[@dougayers7517]

@@rofishy2 If you notice even his single plastic bins are so heavy he can hardly lift them. So the material has to weight tons. Its dangerous.

[@rofishy2]

@@dougayers7517 I’m talking 3/4 inch tampered glass, that is used for up to 600 gallons of water. I’ll use 3/4 plywood reinforced with framing. A free float stand uses a 4/4 frame

[@cherylhobbs1091]

Hi Matt - what are the length of the 2x4 "legs" (vertical supports)?

[@CaptainMattsWorms]

24”

[@michaelmorris1451]

I am just starting a worm farm. I am retired and like your system and can take care of the worms. I saw the bucket breeding setup. How long will it take to fill the box with worms? I am also growing the wheat grass for feeding. Thanks

[@CaptainMattsWorms]

It took me About three month with a million worms

[@michaelmorris1451]

@@CaptainMattsWorms thank you! I have a ways to go. I only have 3000 worms.

[@激情花茶]

Captain, could I using this bin outdoor?

[@CaptainMattsWorms]

Yes but it can’t Dist in the Sun a a freeze will kill all the worms

[@alankoyle7029]

Is your pipe schedule 80 or 40

[@CaptainMattsWorms]

40

[@bader-nofal123]

👍Great

[@ThePittsburghTraveler]

Great video just audio kind of lacking... used closed captions and fix the issue :(

[@JT-bg2vy]

What are your thoughts on creating a simple jig and cutting the PVC in half lengthwise? Although I imagine it would help save $ since only half the amount of PVC would need to be originally purchased, I would be concerned about the strength after doing that. Thoughts?

[@Hewhomustnotbenamed-rz7kc]

WHAT??? OK!!!!! YAAAA!!!!!!!

[@chrischase6731]

My question is, how long to worms live and do you sell your worms to bait shops?
