Yes I live in South Florida in Okeechobee and it's very hard to grow any vegetables here in Florida I grow everything and raised beds and I want to learn how to get worm castings and I need all the information that anybody can give me I am doing my own compost to make my own dirt that was a challenge to learn how to do but I finally got it now I want to learn how to do my own worm castings have a blessed day

I love your videos. I have a similar harvester that I made. Try taking cardboard and make a wall on either side of the drum. As it spins, the castings hit the cardboard walls and fall down into the bin.

Great video on separating the cocoons. I have found a new product to sift the worms. I’ll keep you posted. Just posted a poor man’s sifter for compost. I tried counting the cocoons and gave up.

I just received a new product for sifting today also😄

That was one big ball of worms

Captain Matt’s Worms has a really cool harvester with interchangeable metal plates🍺🍺

You’re talking about the big red one? I’ve looked into it it’s expensive for me right now

yes the big red one. I was curious to and nearly fell over when I seen the price but it is built well and probably worth the asking price

I just realized that I already had my own mini-Harvey for seiving out large items in my kitcgen worm bins,, a small, office mesh paper basket. The mesh is plastic covered so it's soft on the worms and it has mesh at the bottom and sides. So I stand it in my spare tote, put in a scoop of bedding, tilt it on its side and turn it gently, then tip out what is left inside into another bin.

Ha!! I love it!!!😄

You already have the makings of the tromel you want. All you need to do is leave each end open, the crank turning the two small wheels on one side and the whole thing set at about a 15 degree angle. Doing that, you can add a funnel to the uphill end and as you feed material, castings and cocoons small enough to pass through the mesh will do just that, while larger things like dizzy worms, will tumble downhill, finally spilling into a bucket (to their relief!) and you can work batch after batch, constantly turning the bin by hand or by employing a small motor to roll the bin.

I'd also add a some plastic where the worms come out to funnel them into the bucket neater. It looks like a good trommel already. 😁👍😊💚🎃

Greetings, Vee, from Windermere Florida zone 9b USA 🇺🇸 🪱💓🪱 Glad video! Castings in your cleavage 🤣 Hey Joe, wanna fool around? Ahh, maybe after you shower 🤣 After I clean out the Can-O-Worms I have Castings all over, too. It takes me forever to clean down to the bones 👍

If you are doing composting outside, I would throw the cocoons in the compost. They will hatch and the worms will grow up there, but the trick is you have to make sure it maintains very moist.

I have a mini version of that. 👍

Can you send me the information of your worm compost tumbler that you got the hand Tumblr I really like that on the video

Yeah, I use a DIY jig similar to yours but open at both end to feed in one end and come out the other. I still haven't solved the wet castings issue ...

kzread.info/dash/bejne/inmsqrSzirzdpbg.html in this video I tried out the casting so well that it was a beautiful powder. And believe it or not even though it is dry when I re-wet it the microwaves come back to life

How deep is your worm bin and the worm bedding?

@TheGardenAndWormLady

The cocoon trays are about 3 inches deep, when they hatch and start growing up I add a little more

Hello 👋🏾

What do you do with all the tiny hatchlings everywhere?

@TheGardenAndWormLady

Жыл бұрын

I remove the adult worms and I leave the hatchlings which are actually called wisps in their bedding. I add a little more bedding, but not much. I rewet it and I’ll give them a chance to hatch and grow up.

@@TheGardenAndWormLady thank you! so it takes a while to use the castings, it sounds like? I’m having fun with it, and have gotten some castings, but i dont know if i should let the little wisps into potted plants.
