In this video, we will show you how to take an old chest freezer and convert it into a worm compost bin. You will be able to turn your kitchen scraps into rich fertilizer with nothing more than an old freezer and some worms!

Drill vents add sone screening and rats and bugs are not going to be a problem. Leaving the door open is only going to let them in.

[@bigbearhomestead]

I understand where you are coming from,but we never had an issue with mice or rats now that might be due to the fact that we have 3 farm cats that room the homestead. Thanks for your input and thanks for watching.

[@wallacelakehomestead6616]

That's cool !! I got an old chest freezer in the barn...about the same size as yours. How many worms do ya need? I don't want to buy them at walmart for 4 dollars a dozen...Like to order a bunch and use them for bait too.

[@bigbearhomestead]

I just started with one of the bait containers that you get at walmat

Will this composting bin work in Northern Illinois in the in the winter

[@bigbearhomestead]

We are not familiar with the weather up there, but you may have to add insulation.

[@rhondavasquez5690]

Do I have to add any additional drain holes to the bottom of the freezer or do I have to remove the freezer motor before I start using it or can I just cut the cord and tape up all the unused areas and use it like that?

[@bigbearhomestead]

We just went with the drain hole thst is in the freezer, as far as removing the motor that is up to you. We didn't and we didn't have any problems. Thanks for watching and we hope you hit that subscribe button.

[@klee88029]

@rhondavasquez5690 Thank you for asking those questions, I needed his answers also 👍🧓

[@jal6591]

What was in the water you used for the soaking?

[@bigbearhomestead]

Worm compost tea, it is made up from the runoff from the worms

[@user-qu6jf6ot5o]

I like fishing so I like worms

[@bigbearhomestead]

Nice

[@kushcraft9914]

👍

[@bigbearhomestead]

Thanks

[@laurachatfield4142]

What did you soak that with? Worm tea?

[@bigbearhomestead]

The cardboard? Just water made it moist

[@laurachatfield4142]

@@bigbearhomestead the water was brown

[@smilingbob6708]

How vold does it get where you are

[@bigbearhomestead]

We have freezing temps in the winter. We had a freak night this past winter that was in the negatives! But that is very rare

[@texaspatty4697]

You might find that this is too deep, unless you make special arrangements to get oxygen down to the bottom. Better to have more surface area than you have depth, when it come to vermicomposting.

[@bigbearhomestead]

You know that is a good point, we did end up putting tunes in there to help with the airflow. Might be time for an updated video. Thanks for watching. Hope you hit that subscribe button.

[@gwendolynmcginniskfkd2218]

Will the worms be okay in winter?

[@bigbearhomestead]

Depending on how cold you get

[@gfallon40]

How cold is that? I live in Northern Illinois. I want to know if the worms will survive the winter

[@mrgreasemonkey34]

Thanks for info ,, but guy talks to his audience like we are all stupid or something,,, can say what your message in much fewer words. Good luck with your channel.

[@bigbearhomestead]

Not everyone has the same level of experience with everything. That is what makes us all different. Sorry if you felt talked down to, but the upside of that is you know more than the average bear. Congrats and thanks for watching
