Main thing for any newbie using this bucket worm bin (and I assume most people using this bin method will be newbies) Is that feeding must be "vertical" and not in horizontal layers. The reason is because when the bin is so deep relative to the horizontal surface area, the temptation is to simply feed the worms by simply tossing food into the bin. The problem is that the fresh food will cover the entire surface and as it decays the aerobic bacteria will consume all the oxygen at the surface which will suffocate the worms which also need oxygen to breathe. The solution is to carefully dig a hole in the bedding along the wall and carefully put all the food in that hole, then cover it up. That way, the food will take up at most a few square inches of surface area so that the worms have the rest to come to the surface to breathe. Hope this saves a number of catastrophes where people will suddenly find their entire worm herd dead.

You were absolutely correct

some folks had questions on how to separate the worms from the castings. i spread out all of the castings on a large empty plastic bag. if you cover one half of the spread out castings to keep it dark and cool, the worms in the sunny half will move over to the covered half! collect the part that they vacated, you can repeat until you have collected as much of the castings as you want. there may be a few rebels that won't move, but they are easy to pick out by hand. it works because worms that are exposed to light are vulnerable to drying out and to predators!

Do you add some worms to other plants?

I think I need to try this big screen circle on the bottom bucket trick because I do get them in the bottom bin. They do climb up the walls sometime and survive. I also recommend drilling a lot of holes at the top of the water catching bucket because otherwise the section that you can't get the bins apart it's horrible. I also took extra buckets cut off the rims and drilled holes in it to make a spacer between my water bucket and my bottom warm bucket again because I could not get the bins apart myself and my husband could barely get the bins apart with me

This has been a real fun and educational project. Because I’ve been sharing with my friends, I haven’t really had any castings to put in my garden. I haven’t built the flow through system yet.

Hey just a thought, but it may be easier and use less caulk if you cut a single 3.5" hole in the center of the lid, it has the same area as the sum of all of the smaller holes, and would only require one piece of mesh, so you would be saving more mesh as well (factoring for less loss due to the overhang into the silicone area. I also believe it may be easier to do for free since you could trace a single circle and easily cut it with an exacto knife or something similar) Sweet video, Love everything about it!

You might consider testing your worm tea with different dilution ratios to see what works best. Let me know what you find.

Green a great job on the worm composter I am out to build mine now :) I have a few Oak trees so a source of worms and compost matter is easy. The tea is fantastic stuff and I make my own in different varieties with kelp, fish bone and such. Just one hot tip for ya from a guy that uses power tools a lot. Never tighten the chuck with the motor, if you grab the chuck and turn it you will see that the electric motor inside has a brake and you can get it as tight as you want. Make sure the clutch is set to drill as this will give you max force on the clutch inside. If the drill binds during power application you can cause damage to the motor and its control circuit.

Maria Lucia Gomez-Greenbetg: Just a suggestion, take it to school and make it a class project, recycled/environmental impact/How It Works. You can even work math into it, having students calculate output from input. Worm tea is just the liquid waste of the worms.

You can put the screen with caulk in the underside of the bucket just like you did the lids and still be able to rinse it clean.

Usually, if your Kroger has a bakery section where they make cakes they get their frosting in big buckets if you ask nicely they will give the empty buckets to you.

Terry M: I actually have had an in-house composter during Winter, to deal with food scraps and shredded natural fibre. It was impossible to smell a thing. The worms deal with the food scraps beautifully, so there’s never any liquid in the composter to go sour. Because I left the lid off, there was plenty of airflow. The only thing was, when I first put the worms in there and brought them in right before the first hard frost, they were not happy about being in the house, And that day a few of them crawled out of the bin. A hard frost at night meant that I couldn’t release them back out into the vegetable beds because they were frozen. So the best I could do for the poor little guys Was to put them back in the bin, and put a layer of sheer fabric, like an old curtain that you can absolutely see through no problem, over it with a bit of elastic to security around the edge. No odour though. I think that if you watered it heavily enough that the soil was saturated, then you would get an aerobic activity going on there.

Did bottom mesh helped save little ones?

I know that this video is 2 years old, but I'd like to let you know that the liquid that collects in the bottom is actually worm leachate and not worm tea. Leachate is something you have to be careful with, as it can have phytotoxins (toxic to plants), whereas worm tea is made by "brewing" (aerating with a food source, such as molasses) the castings (about a handful in a 5gal bucket). Worm tea is extremely beneficial to plants as it contains many helpful microbes. If you're seeing that much liquid in the bottom, I believe drier ingredients such as leaves, cardboard, sawdust, etc. need to be added.

Thanks for the feedback.

@tonysu8860

Жыл бұрын

Whether you call it worm castings leachate or worm tea, it's actually the same. Adding molasses (which isn't always recommended) merely tries to create an explosion of the microbes in the worm tea by adding a food source that all organisms would consume and metabolize instantly. Introducing a sugar is debatable since the typical consequence is not just an explosion of activity but the immediate downer afterwards of over exhaustion. And the effects of any unconsumed sugars in the biome.

I just made two of these from used ghee and yoghurt pots.( the catering size of course!)

Great video style. I like the timer idea. Looking back, do you now feel this was a little over-engineered? Perhaps more small holes, rather than fewer big holes in the base of the internal bucket would save the worms from falling through, but perhaps that causes drainage problems?

I tend to over engineer to start and then work back toward simplicity. I think this could be refined further. I do think your "more smaller holes" might help keep the worms from dropping into the bottom bucket. Although, I'm not sure how much the worms can squeeze through a hole smaller than their body.

+kelly ebejer Glad to help Kelly. Your worms should do fine in the laundry room or under the kitchen sink, if you've got room. The laundry room would be the best option, as air gets drawn out as the dryer runs. Although, the odor is generally not intense...more of an earthy note if you get anything noticable. The summer heat outside would be OK as long as the bin stayed in the shade. An outside bin will be susceptible to other insects, like soldier fly larvae. A closed garage location would limit that. But, I lived in Chicago and know those winters. They should be indoor pets for the winter for sure. :-) There is a uber-level approach to worm tea. The methods that filter and add the molasses are seeking to boost the bacteria growth in the tea, which aids the soil development. That is good, but, but I like to keep it simple. I do add water to the bin, but usually just when I'm adding new kitchen scraps and newspaper. I let the tea generate on its own with those inputs. I may add a little extra water right before I harvest the tea. I do dilute with water once the tea is harvested. I'd recommend this whole process outside. I use a loose 1:1 ratio, with more rain water if I want more liquid. A rain barrel is a great companion to worm composting, but if you don't have access to rain water, consider using water that has sat out overnight to allow the chlorine to evaporate. I recommend this for the water you add to your bin as well. And who doesn't have half-glasses of water around the house. Using this distilled water will help foster bacteria growth in the tea. Thanks for your comment. Keep me posted on your worm composting adventure.
