I see two bins stacked, but you didn’t really talk about that in the videos I’ve watched so far. I’d that necessary? Does the second bin have all the layers, too? How many worms is a good start?

Hey! Yes I don’t mean to be elusive! I think i cover it briefly at the end of my last video! It’s not a secret I just store an empty tote under a growing bin. Then I move the empty tote up top when the original one is full and ready for harvest. To start the second bin you add all the same layers and invite the worms up (vertical migration) I start with about 50-100 but you can add up to 1000 per square foot

I so interested in learning about this. Use casting i by all the time

This is sooooooooo insightful! I'm from Oklahoma and raised and educated in agriculture. I cannot believe none of this was ever taught. I literally have an animal science degree from Oklahoma state university and later owned a flower shop and greenhouse with my family and we had zero clue. Thank you so much! I'm so invested!

My 13 year old son and I are looking forward to having our own worm farm this year!! Thank you for this information!

With stored junk (finally) being thrown out, I have a surplus of plastic tubs. Then, yesterday, I caught your video on starting a worm farm so you inspired me to give it a go. I assume that your second (blue) tub is for catching excess liquid (which would also be good for the garden), but, I guess I'll have to look deeper into separating the worms from castings at time of harvesting. Congrats on the birth your new farm hand!

Hey Rick! The second tub is for expansion. I’ll cover this soon. To harvest, just get some 1/4” mesh, staple it onto a wooden frame and sieve. The worms can go back into your bins and the castings will drop through the mesh. I’ll cover this soon! Happy worm farming!

Thanks for posting and inspiring me to keep going and, hopefully one day, get my outdoor worm farm up and running. Love ya lady! ❤️

I agree! Worms make gardening fun. I love going to check on both of our bins daily. I cannot wait to have more time to spend in the garden and making more worm casting, worm cocoons, worm tea, and of course worms. thanks for sharing Nat!

I love this idea. I have chickens as well and a compost area but I feel like the worms will not only be fun for the kids but be able to use sooner than the chicken manure

I wish you would have shown each step.. like setting up bins and etc

Ok...I don't mean to be rude but...she said at least 3 times that she inherited the bins..which means she didn't put them together and drill the holes. She also said multiple times that the video showing that process is in the description below. If you aren't willing to watch the whole video, maybe you could assume that you missed a bit of info instead of assuming the creator has left something out..Be well and God Blesss

I'm bulding several large greenhouses on my property and I want a 100% closed loop system that makes it possible for me not to have the need to contually order any fertalizer. Hence, the reason I am building a large worm farm. This was the first time I watched your channel. I joined your channel today and of course gave you a 👍.

I didn't build a worm "farm" per se, but I have several working bins, that put out tons of castings! I bought 500 red wigglers, & my population increased from there. I had about 8,000 after about 2 years, but my population went down when I had my baby because I didn't have the time to tend to them like I did before... but its still a lot more than I started with! & I can tell a huge difference in my plants since using the castings! Especially with their susceptibility to pests!

Most pallets are only heat treated but if you see a pallet without any sramps on it but it does have a lot of small equally spaced holes in it then it is pressure treated

Just started worm bins. First one not having great success, however I started a 2nd bin and this one seems to be doing much better. I even moved a few of my worms from 2nd bin to first bin cause seems like my first bin my population went down fairly quick. I ordered my 1st worms without to much research. However I got my first bin ph and Temps in acceptable ranges. I'm hoping the few worms I've reintroduced to my first bin will take off and start growing in population. Gonna watch all your videos to try and pick up more tips to help improve my success with my bins. Tux for sharing all your info.

Hi Natalie (hope I spelled the right), I just found your channel and thank you, it's very informative! I am an avid vegetable gardener in central Illinois. Anywho my poor gardens are pretty rocky so I will most likely purchase a dumptruck load of quality topsoil. To keep said soil in pristine growth condition I will need more earthworms than I care to count. This video was a good start, thanks again and keep up the great work!

“Easy and Quick solution” videos will always draw a lot of views. It has nothing to do with lack of common sense or trusting people. Most people don’t want to invest more energy or resources and are only willing if it is quick and convenient. The lines at fast food drive-throughs are the proof of that. Even when it is bad and wrong, most people are drawn to quick solutions.

This has been very helpful. Thank you.
