Setting up a worm bin using a wooden flow through system

@MRWhiteFolksCakes I do appoligies Mr white. I am not the best speaker. I criticise myself all the time and I am trying to do better but it has always been my greatest fear when speaking to a crowd. Sorry, any help would be appreciated. Thanks bud.

P.S. You wouldn't beleive how many times I recorded this video. Oh well, at least the info is out there.

@SquirminVermin It's easy. You're a very very smart guy. Just talk as you would to yourself or your closest friend. Don't hesitate. Your bright but you are thinking about what you are saying instead of just saying it! Thanks for posting the video!!! All joking aside you did great! ;-)

@MRWhiteFolksCakes Thanks for the pointers Mr. WFC. I'll keep trying.

Hi, this looks intriguing but I'm confused about how the worms move from one to the other, is a 1/8" screen small enough for them to crawl through? Thanks!

@mishagoscreative I use the plastic bucket method.... but I'm always on the lookout for new ideas. I like this one, however I do think using 1/4" hardware cloth instead of 1/8" would make it easier for the worms to move up to the next level.

@mishagoscreative Short answer...Yes. Those wigglers really can wiggle.

Hi, I'm just starting up a bin and looking for ideas. I like your system. I was thinking of making one like this. Just wondering...how it worked out for you. As the material break down in the bins there must be gaps between the layers. do the worms climb up the sides?

Any advice would be great

Cheers

Worms Crawling out are not really an issue. They prefer to stay inside out of the light and dry air. However, you will need to dampen the bedding. Unlike a plastic bin it breathes much faster and that's really the biggest maintenance. Keep it off the ground to prevent ants and centipedes and rollie pollies etc... from enter by puting all four legs (if you have a stand for it) into a pan of water.

Happy Worm Farming,
