That material loooks awesome Ann. We just got back from St Louis:)))
Looked at a couple properties. Staying patient, all the best in 2024
Cheers J&C 🌱🤞👍🤜🤛👍👍👍
Even shopping for property is fun at the very least. We have our fingers crossed for you. 👍🏼🪱😁
Watching this tower series is making so much sense. I'm just starting. Cant wait for my 1st worm ball. Love blue but having tower dated and progression is helping me wait for worms to do what worms do; not on my time, their timd😂thanks for inspiration and valuable videos
I'm so glad that I could help. Thank you for the kind words. 👍🏼🪱😃
Hi Ann, This system looks similar to the Can-O-Worms, but a bit smaller. Great system 👏
Happy New Year 🎊 🍾 🎊
Happy New Year to you too 🎉 your can o worms looks great too.👍🏼🪱😃
What a nice worm mom feeding her worms chocolate worm chow!! I like this rotation with a pre harvest on top to dry things out a bit. I may have to give it a try!! Excellent video Ann!! Happy New Year!!🪱🪱🪱
I'm not going to lie I was a bit jealous. Lol. I hope they will finish up so I can harvest next time. 🪱👍🏼😁
Looks like you've settled in nicely with the processes used to maintain the tower system 👍🏻 Happy New Year!
Yes finally. Right? Lol. Happy NEW YEAR 🎊 🪱👍🏼😁
Despite really loving my worms, I would fight them over chocolate! Happy new year, Ann. Thank you for all your great educational videos.
~ Sandra
Lol I was very shocked to smell chocolate when I was grinding it up. Made me a bit sad to feed chocolate to the worms.👍🏼🪱😃
Happy New year, the worm tower always intrigues me
Thank you. I feel like I'm finally getting the hang of it. 🪱😁👍🏼
Happy New Year Ann!🥳🎇🎉
Happy New Year to you too 🎉🎉🪱👍🏼😃
Hey Ann! Wish you, yours worms & your family a happy, prosperous 2024! 🎉
Your DIY tower CFT system is great, and an inspiration for how I manage my pre-made worm tower. Although I only have 3 working trays + leachate collecting tray. Planning on getting at least an additional tray from the seller to make it easier to manage. :)
Many thanks for your work! Keep it up! 🪱

Thank you for the kind words. I'm glad it is helpful.😃👍🏼🪱
Happy New year 🎉thanks for the video😊
Same to you. I'm glad you liked it.🪱👍🏼😃
I harvest my grow bag and 27 gal tote bins every 4 to 5 months. A lot of variables, temperature, moisture level, number of worms. This winter I have all my worms, except a couple breeder bins in my cold basement. The temp in the bins run between 55F and 60F, not optimal temperatures for red wigglers, but they are doing OK, the temp in my breeder bins in my grow room stay right around 65F.. Previous years I brought all my worms into my 2nd floor grow room, too many worms this year.
By the time spring planting was all finished, I had about 10 gallons of castings left over. I started out this fall with around 30 gallons of screened castings.
Excited to get my CFT bin going, hoping sometime this week, I keep tweaking it as I build it.
Wishing you a healthy and prosperous New Year!!!
Stay Well!!!
Worm farming is sort of an addiction. The only thing that keeps the worm bin population down is the overwintering pepper plants. My basement is full. Good luck with the new CFT. 🪱👍🏼😃
@@PlantObsessed Once my grow room starts filling up, the worms take second fiddle. Starting my onions and leeks today, always a tradition for me.
Take care.
I enjoy your videos. On track and straight to the point 👍
Thank you 😁👍🏼🪱
My trays are crazy wet compared to yours. My worms are prolific so I don't see a problem with mine, but the difference between yours and mine is night and day.
I'm in the change of season here. My tower was much more wet just last month. I may need to go back to prepared wet bedding for the winter. Alternatively I need to find some more wet food.🪱👍🏼😃
Me too
Nice castings Ann. Happy New Year. 🎉
Thank you. Happy new year to you too 🎉🪱👍🏼😃
Happy New Year to u and Yr family Ann. Have a great year 2024 with the gooood worms....😅
Happy new year 🎊 to you too. 🎊😃👍🏼🪱
I happy new year Ann 🥂
I run bot my worm towers the same as you
Nice. Thank you for the feed back. 👍🏼🪱😃
Do you prefer the worm factory over your diy tower? My totes are taking up too much space. And is the worm factory on wheels? Thanks!
I'm liking the smaller foot print of the worm factory. No wheels but I bet Lowe's has a shop trolley like you put heavy equipment on that would fit it.😀🪱👍🏼
I ended up getting an indoor 4 tray system. I put used coffee in a lower bin with bedding but without worms. Some of my used coffee grounds started growing mold, I think. Should I freeze the coffee or do something different? Thank you.
Mold is good. It'll help break things down for the worms. Keep it on the damp side because the mold will suck up the moisture in the bin. Happy warming 🪱👍🏼😁
Excellent video. Two questions. Why add the worm chow to the top of the pre-harvest tray if you are wanting them to go down 1 level to the feeding tray? Do you think if you waited one more round, fed the feeding tray one more round, would the top tray have had less worms and pieces of unprocessed paper bits?
My thought is that the worms have 3 weeks to quickly eat the chow then they can go visit the pineapple once the microbes have a chance to start breaking it down. 😃🪱👍🏼
So I had ordered several packages of worms, and based on some feedback from photos that I posted on reddit, it seems I received blue worms as well as red wrigglers. 😢
Should I try to separate the worms, or keep them in the same trays? Thank you.
Blue worms work just as well as red wigglers. My 55 gallon drum bin has blue worms in it. You will never be able to separate them. They look too similar especially when sub adult. 😄👍🏼🪱
How long are your risers?
2.5 inches or 6.35cm👍🏼🪱🙂
What size are your risers cut to please Ann
2.5 inch / 6.35cm😁👍🏼🪱

Thank you sweet 😄
Happy New Year Ann! Tower is looking good. Nice feeding the pineapple top will be hanging out for a while. 😁🪱💩
Thank you. Have a good New Year too. 🎉🎉👍🏼🪱😃
