Maintaining your wormfarm.

How r u getting so much liquid in ur bin thx

Iv been using your method for over 2 years. Its really a great way to keep a worm farm. 🪱 Thank you so much for excellent content on your channel

Great informative video, your worms look very healthy 🪱🌱

Thank you so much for explaining this so completely!

I put vegetable scraps in my Thermomix to break down, they love it

do you add any water

Wouldn't it be easier to just collect the worm tea with a ladle? Saves all that work of fixing a tap.

what size holes did you drill in the bottom for the worms to crawl thru?

This has been great. I bought a worm farm and it only came with instructions on how to set it up. It needed to include instructions on how to maintain it and rotate the bottom layer.

I have a pair of bins that I stacked, the bottom serves as the worm tea reservoir. The top bin has peat moss, brown leaves, brown pine needles, shredded cardboard, coffee grounds, and worm castings and a fair amount of worms (well over 1000). I add food scraps every few days chopped and mixed into My questions is, I don’t think I got the bin wet enough when I started it up. Is it okay to add water until it leaks into the bottom bin? I don’t know how else to gauge an active bin if it’s got enough moisture.

great explanation, very clear for the beginners, thanks

I've jus set up my worm farm. Good tip to blend up the veg. I've jus got a nutri bullet. 👍

Great video and demonstration. My farm only has three layers.... is it critical that I get another layer....
The other thing is mine has all those little holes on the bottom of the top layer and the worms go between. Is this correct procedure. My casting tray is very wet however.I am now to this and everyone has different ideas.
Another question- is it critical to periodically rinse the whole thing out..... or just keep moving the top two trays around.
thanks in anticipation of some guidance.

Great video thanks man!

How often do you harvest your worm castings?

Can I put melon skin in, it seems a bit hard though?

How they gets air, I don’t see any hole in your container

Great video, thanks. I've liked and subscribed, built and started my own worm farm after watching your videos. One question that I have is, when I add my second layer will my worms try to escape through the gap between the two layers? If so, how do you deal with this? Cheers, Richard

Hi, I have a worm farm I bought through local council. Similar to yours. But just came with only one spare tray that I haven’t had a need to use. But I just noticed today that I can see the mesh bottom showing through where there was once soil. How do I replenish this soil and what can I use? I did put some dirt in months ago when the soil got down but it seemed to wash through as fine mud in bottom box. I don’t know what I’m doin* wrong. Mayb3 adding too much water? Please help.

Can I use cassava peelings?

Can't see anything the way you move the camera and give everyone motion sickness.

Hey a great wee video thanks, I am off to buy and build your worm farm with my kids...cheers!

Awesome video! I've seen ton on how to build worm farms but I'd been looking for one like this. Thanks!

Thanks for the videos. Your method seems different from others in that you don't add side ventilation holes. Did you try that ? Or does it not make a difference?

...also, where should it go when outside temperatures drop below freezing? You mentioned keeping it cool, but does it ever need to be kept warm?

Thanks for the great videos! Do you have to water the farm? If so, how much and how often?

how are you suppose to water the warm bin?

Not sure if it's already been mentioned but I've drilled a 4mm hole in the side of the base (liquid catcher) just below where the first worm tray rests. That way i know if i forget to drain it acts like a vent and won't drown the farm

About how long after starting your worm farm should you wait to start draining tea? Does it matriculate fairly quickly or should you expect to wait a few weeks?

I've not yet started my farming. I've grandkids that love to fish. How many worms can you say harvest before a weekend of fishing? Now we buy our red wiggle about 30 to container. $3 US dollars and 4-6 containers a week. Adds up!!!
Awesome videos on how to. We also have a lot of tomato plants that could use that casting.
Again awesome videos. Great job. Best I've seen so far!!

Thanks for a great video. I Live in Queensland and my farm is in shade my only concern now is the airflow with the containers..

I've seen a lot of videos on vermicomposting and have my own been but wanted to find a good set up. your video is very easy to follow and explains most of what it takes to maintain the farm. thank you very much for your video and descriptions:)

Thanks, mate! It's one thing to read about this method but it sure helps a lot to see it in action. It's not just "how-to" but motivational to see how well it can be done!

Great information, thank you. My worm farm has got spiders in it. should I remove them?

the liquid that comes out looks very light/clear. when I drain my worm bin the liquid that comes out lookes like cola lol it lookes very different.

Thank you so much for sharing. I enjoyed your video and the one on creating a worm farm.

It seems that you only put in vegetable and fruit scraps into the farm. What about meat and bone? Is there a reason you don't put those in there?

Hi mate, I blend my scraps up in the thermomix - sometimes til it's a slush, other times just chopped til quite small pieces. I noticed you didn't chop up- any reason for that?

I have never had a drop of water come out of my bins. The castings are great for getting worms out because they are not soaking wet.

did you just leave the 3rd bin on top or just leave it there so the worm will come up?

At last I found your channel! I looked at other worm farming videos, and I found them intolerable to watch. They were either too slow, too rudimentary, or not comprehensive enough. Your video is great; now I know what to do. Thank you :)

Hi, i watched both of your video and thanks. However, i have couple questions. I live in Florida and weather is pretty hot during the day, so my question is can i keep worm bins in my shed (without AC) or can i keep it outdoor under tree shades? how do you know it is time harvest those worms? thanks

I have used a commercially made worm farm for several years. I like your model as it is inexpensive and easy to make. A few things I have noted: 1) too much moisture forces the worms out and they collect along my lid which slides inside - they eventually go back in - I think onion tops might force them out too. 2) I grind all my kitchen waste - about once a week and the worms break it down faster and there are fewer large bits after they finish - however this releases more moister so you need to drain frequently.

FYI for those that are thinking about buying wormsIf you buy only 100 worms in 12 weeks you will have 28 times more , if you have patience that is!FINAL TALLY (END of WEEK 12 | Beginning of WEEK 13)100 (original) Adults

Hi there, excellent videos on worm farming, I was always concerned they would be too expensive but this works out just great!
I have some questions, how many worms roughly would you recommend to start? I have a lot of earthworms in my garden and was thinking of just fishing a few out and starting there (haha). Is there any way to cultivate them from that or should I just go buy worms?
I live in a household with 2 other adults and our vegie scrap output is relatively small-moderate but I am a keen gardener who wants to cultivate my own compost :) Thanks!

You might have answered this already but after a while does that food start to smell???

We watched your video on Saturday. The next day my husband built it to your instructions. We found a source for worms very easily and we are pleased with the result. Thank you for an excellent demonstration with easy to follow instructions.
