Tips: 1. Woodchip compost as bedding, because it deters other animals. 2. Keep your farm wet enough to have water droplets when you squeeze. 3. Keep your tap open if you're doing a stacked bin.

3 tires stacked works best. start with two, add organic worm food and worms. after 1.5 mos. take the top tire and move it and it wil become the bottom. stack the next one on top, fill it with food. empty the last one that has all the castings and put it on to[p and fill. and so on and so on. the bottom tire has the castings.

Yes, they work pretty good like that,,,few do escape though into the garden which is okay if you have lots of worms. I teach the enclosed worm farming system for when people first get started,,,then move onto other options such as that into the future.

I know this video is a little older now but those who have cardboard boxes , rip them up and soak in a bucket of water , layer the pieces of cardboard on top and the worms just love eating cardboard , it’s a covering and food all in one , check the worms in a few days and see how they are going. Doesn’t go rotten and the worm chow it down , just another resource one can use .

Great video, thanks for producing and sharing. I've not heard many folks talk about raising all the worms together though when I bought my "mix" here in the US that's exactly what I heard. My "mix" bin became dominated with blue worms (which I do love) however as the temp in basement (and outside of course) has dropped I've begun to notice more of the others, which I believe to be red wigglers, maybe a few euros. I've planned to separate them into their own bin in an effort to grow their population. Any thoughts, advice, suggestions? Thank you!

I'm in WA, just south of Perth. My daughter was given a worm farm from Bunnings. We haven't even opened it-- not knowing if our cold, wet winter this year would be a bad time to start. One thing I wanted to know: I saw a video of a guy pouring worm eggs onto a pile of cow manure. He said they break it down in a matter of weeks. I can't get cow manure, but I can get bags of sheep poo. Would the worms be okay with that, or would I need to pile up the sheep poo and leave it for some amount of time first? I just thought it sounded like a neat idea. The other is where the worm farm should be placed considering our summers are very hot at times? Cheers

You're not the first one saying your worms escaped. That's unusual, if your worm bin is tight enough, worms aren't escaping they're dying (and decomposing). I'm guessing you're throwing food on top of the worms, and that's killing them. Proper feeding so you don't kill your worms should be in a corner and not covering the surface when the aerobic bacteria will rob all the oxygen and suffocate your worms. Your baby worms may be newly hatched worms that hope to survive.
