That's a lot of scraps in there . I put mine in empty ice cream buckets , we produce a lot , and store in an old freezer. When I feed a bin , I grab a bucket full . I have a lot of worm bins , 3 towers , 2 trough style bins ,4 VermiBags and a home made sub box .

[@Vermicompost]

That is a lot of worm bins!!! You must produce an enormous amount of castings!! Do you use all these castings in your garden and to make worm casting teas? I'd love to know if it helps you eliminate having to buy fertilizer!! I have a couple of containers we keep in the freezer as well to collect food scraps as we go, but I produce more scraps (5 people in our household) than the worms eat so some go in our regular compost pile. Thanks so much for watching and letting us know about your worm army!!!🪱🪱🪱 Which type of bin is your favorite???

[@Dee.C]

@@Vermicompost I don't use any other fertilizer or pest control , except fingers and a water hose . I do use all my castings for teas, spread in the gardens and yard . I send some to my sister each spring also . Her Asiatic Lily collection loves them and this year they bloomed bigger, brighter and longer than usual . I never really thought about which was my favorite. If I have to choose it would be the "Blue Whale" my hubby, grandbaby and I built in the garage . Check out Ann's Big Blue on Plant Obsessed . It is like that but I built the frame for mine because I have no built in shelf like Ann does in her basement. It is the easiest one I have . Set it and forget it, at least for a little while . I have so many worms in there it is crazy . It started as a hobby and a way to keep stuff out of the landfill that I could and has just exploded. I got inspired when I watched AV . I started with a pound of red wigglers and a 10 gallon tote , and now I have tons of them .

I am so jelly you have that every week hahaha, black gold 🙌🏼🙌🏼👏👏🌱🌱 interesting about the temperature in there, they are great temperature regulators by the sound!! Hahahaha oh gosh so many worms!!!😅 Ohhhh that’s interesting info on the black soldier fly larvae!! Yuuuummo! Mouldy applesauce 🍎🍎 delicious!!! 😅 That was awesome Patrick!!

[@Vermicompost]

Hellloooo Anita!! Don't tell the other two but I think this is might be my favorite bin!! It takes whatever I throw at it and the worms just seem to keep multiplying!! My biggest fear with starting an outdoor bin was the heat in the summer, but these red wigglers combined with a little shade and a breathable, drainable bin can really take a good variety of temperatures!! I do like how I always have fresh worm castings available with this bin, and sifting it gives me a good look at what hard bits they take longer to eat. Thank you so much for all your support and wonderful comments!! It really is a treat to hear from you each video!! Have a wonderful weekend!!🪱🪱🪱

[@charger440]

I have seen other videos about worm farming and most of them agree to one thing; moist bedding. Yours seems to be on the dry side. I thought worms need moist environment to survive but looking at your results , it’s exactly what I am aiming for. I am a beginner and my casting is on the very wet side. I had to drill holes on the bottom to let the water out. I should have seen your videos in my beginning because now , I am enlightened on the subject. Thank You! You are a good teacher!

[@Vermicompost]

Thank you so much for the kind words!! I do tend to run my bins a little drier than a lot of folks but the videos make it look even more dry! Two of my bins, the VermiHut worm tower and this Outdoor Worm Bin made of two 20 gallon fabric pots, one inside the other, slowly gravity drain moisture so I find them to be at the perfect moisture level most of the time, never too moist. Occasionally I'll have to add some water to the Outdoor Worm Bin because it is outside in the heat. My Tiny Worm Bin is just a small 3 gallon tote with no holes and I almost never add water just use the food scraps to add natural moisture and regulate the loss of moisture with a small piece of bubble wrap over the top of the bedding. I do like that I can use my castings right away without having to dry them out...and the worms seem to be loving the conditions I keep them in!! Thanks so much again for your nice comment and thanks so much for watching!! So glad to hear you are vermicomposting!!!🪱🪱🪱

[@cookie761]

If you watched the video, you saw that black soldier fly larva on the left side go down in on the time lapse. He was big! Those outdoor bags drive me nuts when you're trying to open them up! I've sewn a lot in my past years, and I think I would make them flared at the top so that they would open up nicely! Lol!

[@Vermicompost]

I love how the time lapses reveal interesting things you don't see in real time!! Yes, the open up and fold down procedure I have to go through to catch good video is a whole production in itself😂 A flared top would definitely help!!

[@HildeAzul]

This is what I felt like was the best method. I am still so confused about the (360 ) bin system, i have a full second tray - they have eaten though EVERYTHING already.. not to mention that I had one full bottom tray too (castings) and I sifted that tray and pulled out all the cocoons that I could see. I removed all the worms first one by one, since I didn’t want to hurt them 🤦🏻‍♀️ and it took hours. I like your method better. Right now the castings are actually in a bin on the top level of the system in order to ward off the fruit flys in my garage. I check it daily for worms escaping and for some reason they keep going up there. Way better than the dang fruit flys!

[@Vermicompost]

Oh wow, that is an absolute chore to pull out the worms individually!! You may have seen us do it in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3mWqYOpbrloqZI where we absolutely drove ourselves nuts!! I added some videos in a reply to your last comment showing how I rotate my worm tower system to really get it running at peak performance without having to baby it too much! I think you can get your system running like a conveyor belt of worm castings with that method. It sounds like you are doing well and figuring out how to keep your worms happy and the fruit flies out!! I occasionally spray my bins with water from my rain barrel that has a mosquito dunks in it...this does a fantastic job of breaking the life cycle of fruit flies and gnats and after the adults die or you get rid of them...they never appear again!! Thanks again for watching our videos!! Let me know in a comment to the rotation videos if you have any questions!!🪱🪱🪱

[@NanasWorms]

Your worms polished off the previous feeding in your absence. I think you’re right that you could have done a much more aggressive harvest. Have you ever emptied the bag and restarted? I hope you get some nighttime cooling from those temperatures, Patrick! A belated happy Father’s Day to you! ~ Sandra

[@Vermicompost]

I have never done a full harvest and restart in the 516 days and 61 feedings since I started it but I have emptied the bag and put everything back in: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZeodnyMnp2nrpY I like to imagine that there is a piece or tiny molecule of food or bedding from the first feeding still in there somewhere😂🤣😂 Thanks for the Father's Day wishes, my three boys did a great job helping me clean out the garage without complaint and I got a Patrick Starfish mug (from Sponge Bob Square Pants) and a HomeDepot gift card from them...The are well trained by my wife Autumn (AKA The Executive Producer)😂🤣😂 Thanks so much for watching and indeed for all your support!!

Do you have a video showing your storage of castings and the eventual baiting the babies to put in your Vermihut worm bin?

That is a great question!! It's been 39 days since I gave away the worms and if the worms were previously at their carrying capacity of 6000 worms, then they might be close to repopulating themselves back up to 6000!

How often can I turn my bins soil? My bin is a little deep and I worry it might become anaerobic but I don’t want to disturb the worms process. This is my first bin.

[@Vermicompost]

I turn over the bedding in my bins every time I feed them which is about once a week. If you have a deep bin then you are right, it is a little easier to get pockets of fermentation and ammonia smells which can spread especially if things are very wet. I think mixing things around once a week to aerate it and see/smell how things are looking would be good for your bin and won't disturb the worms too much! Also make sure to add bedding every feeding which will help air things out as well. Once your first bin has been going for a few months it will be full of microbes and the worms will start oto noticeably increase in population...if you are seeing this than you are doing very well!! I hope this helps!! Thanks so much for stopping by to watch!🪱🪱🪱
