I may be oversimplifying, but at 80, I try to not create “make work” projects. I have 7 last no till beds, and a corner of the yard with an organic trash pile, clippings from pruning, and that sort of thing. I keep the area of that pile well fed with household garbage and covered with several layers of wet cardboard. The worm “bin” is that 4 square foot area. The worms do not attempt to escape as everything they need is always there. All winter I also compost my 7 beds in place, Ruth Stout style. Again, worms are naturally drawn there, and I put a dozen or so into the beds, from the worm pile every day. So simple. Amazing soil.

You know, I started watching your videos because I just wanted to learn to grow cabbage, cucumbers, tomatoes...now, I've been watching your vids to learn about composting! I never grew a garden before, but with COVID; it forced me to reevaluate my life--and gardening gives me peace of mind. Thanks for the vids!

You can also use red worms to "finish" your large thermal compost, I don't turn my piles. I let the worms do it. After the compost heats up and cools off back to a warm but mot hot temperature add the redworms. They will multiply throughout the pile and aerate the pile and enrich it as they go. Once it becomes full of worms that pile becomes the source for worms for you next pile. Just throw on a few shovelful of worms once your new pile cools down.

Thanks. I garden from a wheelchair. Im a disabled vet and its a therapy for me and i love it. I was a landscape design builder, and was called up for National Guard service and we deployed.
I get all giddy inside like im getting ready for a patrol about 6am waiting to get outside.
Im going to start this for my raised and containers. My wife does the in ground and we feed ours in those areas by using a cultivator on the end of a string trimmer. Grind up a little left overs and use the castings heavy in my containers and raised. Tomatoes love castings.
Thanks!!

I actually started my own worm bin this year in May. It has been a great experience. I feed them about 2.5 pounds per week. I started with 1000 worms but they've multiplied like crazy. I've got lots of itty bitty babies (very cute). Also, my worms color has chanded to a deeper purple at the tips. I was concerned when I noticed it but they seem fine and very active. I have gradually increased their food. I try to feed twice a week because I have mine indoors and trying to prevent fruit flies and other bugs. That way they only get enough food to consume over the next 2-3 days (1.25lbs per feeding) thereby preventing fruit flies and other bugs. I am increasing next feeding as they've started to ho through their feeding much quicker now. But, again they are larger and they've had quite a bit of babies.

I was grossed out by them at first but now they're my babies. Trully enjoy the learning experience and of course the besutiful Black Gold for my plants.😉

My roller compost bin for turning the chook manure with woodchips, to age it for my garden, have worms in clusters in there. I have chicken crumble. I can add to feed them. I need an old fridge. I can add a tap that can just drip into a bucket. The fridge guts will be good insulation to keep them warm and cool. I've tried your version of a farm, but I have more things to do than hyper-focus on worm bins. My chooks would find a way to get into small worm farms.😂
Folks don't throw your old freezer out, they are the best. No layering, just feed and collect.

I use the same bins (from walmart) I drill the holes the very same way. I put mine right in the ground and let the worm juice fertilize my lawn. I also have a bin in every raised bed, its a great center piece that distributes worm juice to everyone. When the worm food is all used up they go into the garden bed. I never added worms I just baited them into my bins with coffee grounds. I have so many bins on my property now that my entire quarter acre is now a worm bin. All varieties of worms go into my bins but red wigglers end up dominating the bin as the other worms tend to dominate the the garden beds eating the protozoa that leech out into the garden bed. Every Time it rains my plants get a nice compost tea feeding. I do leave the lid off but if rains get too heavy I have to put a lid on the bin. In summer if plants in the raised bed are not tall enough to shade the worm bin then I shade it with good air flow between the bin and shade device. When that is not an option I just remove it and place it in the shade until fall. I discovered that trapping worms in a bin does not benefit the worms, the castings or the gardener, integrate it into soil or a garden on elevated ground (so it do not sit in standing water) and your entire property will turn into a worm bin. City folks who patio or balcony garden are the only people who need a set up like you showed although your set up is far superior to not vermicomposting at all.
