How To Make the EASIEST Vermicomposting System in 30 mins!

[@artistlovepeace]

If I could give you an award for your videos I would give you an Emmy. You are truthful, straightforward and most importantly honest.

[@wendiland]

Haha That means a lot to me, thank you for joining me in the garden!

[@SteffaniesJourney]

OMG just what I need!!! Think I’m going out this weekend and get me these so I can start composting in place. Such a great idea!!! ❤❤❤

[@artistlovepeace]

Wendi Phan, you are a genius. An absolute genius artist, entertainer and educator. Thank you so much for all the lessons and inventive solutions.

[@Ricosyard]

Your garden is beautiful

[@gtrgenie]

Cool! I use food grade 3 gallon buckets, 1 gallon pots and $.99 store pitchers for my worm towers. Only problem I have sometimes is the roots from nearby plants invade. Great video!

[@1Lightdancer]

Great ideas for compost in place systems! Robbie of Robbie and Gary often uses the inexpensive pitchers and a showing iron to make the holes! The compost tool is a good idea for the longer systems. I'm building a couple of metal raised beds - and thinking of Pierpont one of these in - I've thought of using a piece of hardware cloth for the part in the ground, plus some kind of collar and lid .... or even cardboard with some holes punched ....

[@trappedinroom1014]

Why don’t these professional/career you-tubers give credit to the original channels like Robbie and Gary….they’ve been promoting this idea for years and Robbie came up with it.

[@wisteria4981]

How unique and brave of you to mention about composting your own poo. Love all these ideas😊

[@florencesofaly4883]

what a sweetheart! I absolutely love Wendi Phan.

[@artistlovepeace]

Another great lesson. I'm going to try this in one of my gardens. I have lots of food waste that I just let compost in bins but this idea will benefit my garden without having to wait for time to compost the scraps. Great idea! Such a great channel.

[@wendiland]

Better to have food waste turn into black gold. :) Happy Gardening!

[@ebradley2306]

Think I will add this to my repertoire. I have a couple worm systems (big worm farm in a garbage can and a Green Tower) but one thing I do is put worms in my grow bags. I fill the very bottom with chopped leaves, periodically bury pieces of banana down the side and mulch the top. Get a crazy amount of worms in the bag. Don't re-fertilize the plants after the initial planting. 🙂

It is always so wonderful to begin a morning with your beautifully playful smiles Wendi! Such a simple solution to enhancing garden potential, deal with by products, enjoy some fresh air, and have fun along the way! Now seeing the power tool in action, I wonder what you are building next? -Bob...

[@wendiland]

I just mounted a hook for hanging pot today. My fuchsia and hydrangeas are loving this mild weather! More projects with the drill to come of course. Hope you had a wonderful weekend!

[@wranther]

@@wendiland With this fine weather, the weekend was very nice Wendi! Not even any mosquitoes... yet! And the first hail storm of the season has come and gone. Such wonderful weather now that the south winds have backed off somewhat also. Looking forward to your next grow space project! -Bob...

[@Kanao_zioles]

Your roses are so pretty!!!

[@SunshineCountryChickens]

Great idea Wendi i will try it!

[@dawnpleasant2319]

Great idea! I've seen in bed composters before and they take up too much space for my small garden beds. I'll give this a try! Also, your garden is beautiful!

[@SonniesGardenPA]

Love putting the container in the bed.

[@matthewgushiken6690]

I had a long purple earthworm in my compost pile.

[@spiderman4781]

Creative idea gardening wendi😍

[@steveskaggs9938]

Very interesting! Thank you 🙏

[@donb.puryearjr.8699]

Another wonderful vlog. I truly enjoy watching your new endeavors in the garden. FWIW, if you take some medium grain sandpaper to the top and inside cap of the pvc tube, you can then easily remove the cap, but seal back snuggly....😊. Can't wait for the next post!

[@wendiland]

That's a great idea! So sort of round off the edge a bit? Always look forward to catching up with you here. :)

[@donb.puryearjr.8699]

@Wendi Phan Yes, basically where the inside of the cap touches the outside of the pvc pipe. Play with it, sand a little, then put the cap on, if still too tight, a little further. My father actually used the large diameter pipe in the past to build a staggered bird nest on his farm. I showed him your composting idea... he really liked your approach. You are able to get so much in return from so little real estate!

[@andrewislas7742]

This was so cool. I didn't know one could even compost directly in the pot So ingenious thanks for this

[@wendiland]

Just took an old idea and freshening it up. With this method -- I love that I don't have to dig to bury food each time when I want to compost.

[@melissagoodwin2602]

Thanks for sharing this idea

[@TheTamrock2007]

This is perfect 🤩

[@vy3087]

Great idea!!💡🤩I did something similar for my kitchen garden and about to put a 2nd one in my new raised bed that I put together on the wkend. To experiment I just used those small novelty plastic trash cans with a click on lid, drilled holes in the sides and dug it in the ground too. It’s inexpensive but probably not as long lasting as your’s. I love how you hid your’s under the plant too 😄👍🏼🪴

[@GhostMantis420]

Brilliant

[@Anythingforfreedom]

Is sprinkle soy hull pellets on top of the soil. The worms love that stuff and it really fattens them up.

[@wendiland]

Would love to try if I could get my hands on it. Thanks for the idea!

[@ssubramanian605]

This is very interesting and informative. Thank you very much. I live in the Midwest and have a small patio that I grow flowering plants in pots in summer. Couple of them I move indoors for winter. Can I do wormicompost indoors if I start outdoors in pots in summer? Will it survive indoors and also will it smell bad? Any suggestions?

[@JennySimon206]

Do u put browns in there too?

[@innerjon]

Also if you don’t have a drill or bits you can buy the PVC already with the holes under perforated PVC drain pipe area.

[@irenebrewer735]

What is the name of drill piece you use?

[@wendiland]

It's called a Step Drill Bit. Link is in the description.

[@gtrgenie]

I use the same type of bit so the holes are de-burred and won’t injure the worms.

[@annsmith2520]

I do not understand how the castings get distributed to the rest of the bed.

[@09echols]

I got a couple of baskets from dollar tree an filled them with scraps then burried them.

[@wendiland]

Composting can be just that easy. :)

[@deniecedonnafield5264]

I remember hearing a story about the Germans had quit human compost waste on vegetables because people getting sick.... Because they were not applying the two-year composting rules for organic vegetables ....

[@vampeve82]

i want to do this so bad for my garden but my dog i gheeto and will shredd anything for some dank scrapes and dodo water love my dogs too but no choice but live with my bohkashi buckets i made from five gallons buckets

[@wendiland]

Keep doing what you're doing. Better not have your dog get sick getting compost too. I love bokashi composting -- you can compost lots of things other composting methods cannot. :D

[@chinatownboy3368]

I only watch because Auntie is pretty.

[@michael_nint]

I have a question. In my garden, the top layer of fertile soil is very thin. The lower layer is very hard and does not absorb moisture. Does this technique help loosen the lower layer, what is your experience? Because there are "internet theorists experts" who authoritatively claim that in such a situation the worms would only stand in the worm tower and would not loosen the soil. I mean, enough worms would be put in the towers, but would they come out into the hard soil to loosen it? And one note. This Compost Crank Twist Compost Aerator is very expensive. Find a male exemplar who can make it for you cheaper. Or, wait... that might not be a very cheap way. You'd better do it yourself.
