[@kirstimcqueen1959]

Love the humour in your vids! Might have to borrow the digging machine…

Thanks Kirsti - you’re very welcome to borrow the auger 😌

Very nice I made my own but had the scrap lengths of pipe here Works well, still always will have my regular worm farms for castings

[@cooltemperategardeninginca3288]

Fantastic! What do you use for the lid on the lengths of pipe Neil?

@@cooltemperategardeninginca3288 I use a breathing drain cap that is about 8cm tall with wire gauze around the sides I used 100mm pvc Bought the cap with mesh all ready to clip on and under $5 Ill try to make sure I put it in a video

Hey, I just bought myself one of these and installed it based off your video so ty! Quick question, did you use the bedding block they recommend? Trying to figure out if it’s needed.

[@cooltemperategardeninginca3288]

Nice! I didn’t use a bedding block. We have lots of worms in our garden so I assumed they’d visit the food when it was broken down enough by the bacteria regardless of whether there was bedding or not. Seemed to work well. We got volunteer capsicums growing through the holes to the outside of the worm buffet this year 🙌. But don’t put avocado seeds into the container because they’re a pain to remove after they germinate and take root 😵‍💫 I’ve also bought several smaller versions (different company) and put them beside each of the fruit trees (the smaller ones were easier to install because they didn’t require such a large hole to be dug. All the best with your worm buffet ❤️
