I got a lot of tips from your video. One thing I've added to my process is putting a banana or a section of pumpkin at one end of the bin when I otherwise stop feeding. The worms love these foods, and in a day or so, most of the worms will be concentrated in and on these foods.
I have searched and searched to find out how I get my worm castings out without destroying my worms in the process. This is by far the best video ever! THANK-YOU!!!
I also wonder about the egg casings. When I empty a worm bin I take great care in saving the egg casings. It takes me a long time but I feel like I am saving future worms. I empty the castings into 10 lb. plastic containers. Every day I take a little time to discover a multitude of eggs. I keep finding eggs for weeks.
@@leticiaportelinha7347 .... about 21-ish days if I memba right. When I started, I basically made sure to give it about 6 weeks before I would harvest any castings so that 95+% eggs have hatched and are big enough to be up eating with the other guys. Now I have a few Big worm bins (8ft x 4ft & 3ft tall, each bin) So this may not really apply to your worm bin/casting harvesting but... I add approx 2 inches of food weekly to each bin. It takes the worms approx 1½ weeks for to process 2" of food. So about the time my bins were around 20 - 24 inches tall or filled up rather is when I started harvesting the castings via cutting 2 inches per week off the bottom. Anywho... Best of luck
Excellent videos! Content presented in appropriate amount of time, no unnecessary footage, to the point, very informative. Voiceovers have the same great qualities, no hemming and hawing, no wasting my time. Extremely well produced in my book! Some of the best process videos I’ve ever watched. Has all the elements of a great video. KUDOS!!
Very concise video!! I’m planning on starting a worm bin, as I have a rabbit and he creates a lot of food waste and such that I’d like to dispose of in a better way. I heard hay and rabbit poop is okay to put in, but would the litter be good to put in as well since it contains pee? The litter I use is 100% recycled newspaper with no additives.
I started my first worm bin in September. Now I spend my spare time watching worm videos on TH-cam. I'm amazed at the number of worms in your bin. How dense can the worm population be and not have over crowding? Is it unlimited if the worms have food? or is there a point that is unhealthy for the worms?
Thank goodness I found your video. I got 6 worms for free last year and now have what appears to be thousands in the compost bin. Thanks to this detailed video I know what to do to get the rich soil amendment for the garden without hurting the worms.
Good tips, just one thing I would recommend is to put casters on your wooden sieve then just rock out back and forth on a bench and the castings will drop through and save your back.
I used to have a job where I would dig out underground vaults 3' x 2' x2'. I would once in a while find one filled with worm casting, I would fill at least of those bags with the casting and worms and I would bring them home and dump them in my yard, the casting would be super fluffy and light and filled with tiny worms.
Howdy. I typically reserve subscribes until I have seen at least a few videos by one account. But after this, my first view, I’m sold. Thank you for your efforts and for answering a number of my outstanding worm farm questions.
Why didn’t I find your video after hours of researching😪 I so happy to be here lol seriously step by step plus bonus tips and video without bunch inserts. If I could give this video a million thumbs up 👍 I would thank you
What I have seen in a video put forth by Geoff Lawton is to put fresh food on the top of a section of the container and then cover that section. Leave the other section open so light will be on the surface. A great idea would be to light the uncovered surface to expedite the worm migration. Effectively, it would be less time consuming to have a full bins worth of worms actively striving to populate the 33% of the covered fresh food area at which point you could fork off the top six inches and transfer the worms and new food to an active bin. Repeat on all bins. The remainder should be mostly worm free.
Thanks for this great tip on harvesting compost from your worm bin. You are lucky to be able to do this outside. Our winters get too cold to leave the worms in a bin outside. Today, it's 3 degrees F. Thanks for the video. Happy Gardening! Catherine
Great series. How do you store your bagged worm castings. How long will they stay good for. Is it OK for them to dry out and how do you keep your worms warm in the winter.. Thanks so much for your teaching
I have used coconut coir for a few years now and the worms seem to like it. I think it gives me a cleaner compost. I have also stopped using kitchen scraps in my worm bins, using instead dry cornmeal, oatmeal, and coffee grounds, sparingly. I also handpick all of the worms and babies and eggs every 3 months or so when I harvest the castings.
Thank you for this video ... I’ve been trying to figure out how to harvest my castings .... this was the explanation and demonstration that I needed ... brilliant
Thank you So much! This is Fabulous - so great to see you farm your worms and gather the castings. Such a clean and tidy operation. Love the trampoline!
Fantastic video my friend, I am building a greenhouse and raised bed veg garden and have been researching vermiculture and this is probably the best information I've found.im now dubbed to your chanel and am looking forward to viewing more. Big love xx.
That's a really great operation you've got there. I hope to get mine a bit more productive one day but I'm just using a worm factory 360 on the back deck, because the space is limited. I harvested about 5 lbs of castings today, and I get that about 3 times a year. It's enough for my small garden. But I've been moving some excess worms into a couple compost piles outside and they are really multiplying. They get lots of blended veggie scraps. Winter is on the way and I'm hoping to get them all in the big compost pile for a better chance at survival. Next year I'm hoping to have enough castings for all the neighbors that want some.
I did a compost pile last year and beefed it up with lots of leaves, old container soil cover by the back porch when I dug into it in spring I had a good amount thriving zone 7
I know personally that my worms LOVE sun baked (then slightly dampened) or slightly composted horse manure. It's light and fluffy and they convert it to castings faster than the coco coir. Plus the horse poop is a pretty good compost base on it's own
Best video on home grown worm farming on TH-cam. Great info! And good details shown in this video! Thanks for making this great video. I wish this video was the first one that I've watched but unfortunately there are some crappy worm farming videos out there lol.
Great video, I will use this process in my bin set up. I have about 40 bins in a wall system and some of them are reaching the end of the cycle. I was contemplating how to harvest and this method seems the least stressful on the worms. Thanks for sharing
Night crawlers work perfectly fine in a bin like that... you only need to add more grit then you would with red wigglers ( with reds its not really required to have grit but it helps)--- ps.. do Not mix night crawlers with reds... the reds constantly take the slime off the nights until they get too stressed and die then the reds proceed to eat the nights dead body...
@@uchibauki2515 I wondered why I had some worms in the liquid trough at the bottom. I bought both types originally. But, I know better now, I drained it and put the worms back in the top. Doh!
I use sifted compost, shredded brown paper and cardboard and some ground up egg shells (powder consistency) for bedding. Nothing else and it has worked for me. I use a cross-cut shredder which shreds the paper into pieces a little over 1/4". I moisten the bedding of course. I used to layer the materials but no longer. The paper mixed with the compost provides great aeration. When I add food, it is nowhere near the amounts I see on most videos. I want to keep flies and mites out of the bin. I do have food-grade diatomaceous for eliminating mites.
I use ground organic whole flax seed that I make fresh using a coffee grinder, fresh is far superior to pre-ground.. This food contains essential fatty acids, minerals, vitamins and many other constituents that make this a super food. After I grind the flax I pour a few ounces of hot water not boiling water over the ground seed to create a mush, let it cool, dig a small trench for the feed the cover with soil from the bin or new soil when required. My first attempt , I started with 36 red wigglers from a bait shop in Canada, this was in October by the spring I had 3 large bins, I was giving worms to friends for their gardens or to raise. The quality of the feed increased the castings and the volume of worm reproduction beyond what I could have ever imagined. As a certified herbalist I try to feed my worms the highest quality of food, scraps are fine but if they come from commercially grown farms using pesticides they are very deficient in nutrients (up to 80%). Thank you for your video, great info.
I might have missed this, but how often do you do this? I am new to worm farming. Created my first bin in January so going into about 7 weeks now wondering how often? I'm sure it depends on how many worms and the size of the farm. I started with about 1,000 worms in a 5 pound container.
At about 0:45 he says the bin has been in service for 11 months, so maybe that means he only does this once a year? I know your comment was three years ago… and you’ve probably long moved on, but other people might need the info too! 🤪
@@mariahspencer - THANK YOU ...bc I too was wondering... that gives me a good idea of how much I need to produce for my garden beds .... again thank you!!
I feel like I need to make a video for COMPLETE novices like me in order to answer questions such as; 1. What happens if you don't regularly harvest worm castings? 2. Why can't I use some of the soil to start a new worm bin? I'd rather not have to spend money on coir. 3. How to ensure eggs don't get into the final result? 4. Are the castings safe to use for N indoor container gardener? Example, I was instructed to buy certain type of potting soil to ensure the soil was sterile. Thank you for all the great information.
1. The integrity of the castings can degrade and get mushy and pasty. 2.use shredded paper or cardboard if you don't want to use coir for new bedding 3.you can set the castings in a new bin for a few extra weeks and place a very light feeding on one side to attract any news hatchings and sort the new worms out. 4. Castings are safe for houseplants I usually mix some into potting mix when I repot or sprinkle on top of of the mix.
You are such a great teacher. I love how you explain things and you show all the details and you make it easy to follow. I love your garden wild and abundant. Where are you located? My husband and I just made a worm bin exactly how you explained, and now we have two. Our original one that was way crowded with worms and castings. So we are excited to do it the right way now! Thank you thank you for your passion and your clarity.
The fastest way to separate worms from castings. Add a few over ripe bananas. Cut ends off the bananas and put in one end of the worn bin. Come back later and the bananas will be packed full of red wigglers.
Good video. I actually don't separate my worm castings .I just place the black gold along with the worms into my garden bed. I save every worm I come across and start again every year. Any advice please. I got the worms from my garden i.e native worms ....some are red but I didn't purchase them.
I noticed near the end of the video that there was a cocoon and don't recall it being mentioned to sort them out of the sifted castings. Great video, thumbs up!
Love the video and the steps you used to separate the worms from the castings. I have 3 rubber totes and 4 5 gallon buckets full of worms and castings that are ready to be harvested. I've been using sphagnum peat moss for the bedding. But my question is this: How do you keep your worms from freezing when it gets cold outside? I am really needing to move my worms outside but I don't want to kill them.
I put a seedling heat mat over damp newspaper and a plastic bin bag, in a plastic box with a lid in a sheltered spot. Zone 9. They seemed happy, but sulked when I turned it off in late spring around 10-15 C.
I noticed that in the video you didn't feed the worm for three days before harvesting the worm castings. My question is how often do you feed them on a regular basis?
For a worm bin your size, how much food did you put in regularly. They say worms eat half their body weight per day but I am getting nothing near that number.
I got a lot of tips from your video. One thing I've added to my process is putting a banana or a section of pumpkin at one end of the bin when I otherwise stop feeding. The worms love these foods, and in a day or so, most of the worms will be concentrated in and on these foods.

I empty the castings into 10 lb. plastic containers. Every day I take a little time to discover a multitude of eggs. I keep finding eggs for weeks.
I think (from another video I watched) it could be the size of the screen? it may have been small enough to block the cocoons along with the worms?
Hey Chauncey!! How long until all or most eggs have hatched? Thanks
@@leticiaportelinha7347
.... about 21-ish days if I memba right.
When I started, I basically made sure to give it about 6 weeks before I would harvest any castings so that 95+% eggs have hatched and are big enough to be up eating with the other guys.
Now I have a few Big worm bins (8ft x 4ft & 3ft tall, each bin)
So this may not really apply to your worm bin/casting harvesting but...
