The #1 Secret to Simple Vermicomposting: The Worm Inn

[terry9748]

how dose your house smell?

[crazyaboutcompost]

@terry9748 The same as always? I study waste for a living, so I may be a bit anosmic. :)

I don't find worm composting systems to smell anything horrendous, although it can happen if they're ignored for long enough and become unbalanced.

Hey Tyler, nice vid.. do you notice knat problems having this indoors.. ? I would like to do this sometime and collected a lot of scraps but knats got really bad.

[crazyaboutcompost]

@dianemummvideos No problems to report thus far. If I notice it's becoming a problem, I will definitely post about it. I would suggest adding a layer of bedding after each layer of scraps to keep it covered a little better.

@dianemummvideos I've noticed when I slab some newspaper or freshly mowed grass on top of the scraps, the gnats leave.

I have a plastic container for vermicomposting. cheep and it works wonderful. I also have used the cheap plastic buckets from a Lowes. Great video! Thanks

@lgrbarnard2 Yep, me too. I have a tub and a Worm Inn to take care of my waste...and a tumbler out back. I've found that buckets are good for pre-soaking materials for the tumbler.

Well it's about time you got yourself in front of the camera again! You're a natural in front of the camera. Not kidding, you are. :)

@VoodooGarden Thanks!  I plan to do a lot more videos in the next few months...both compost and waste related.

I have the Worm Inn. I did use the stand. It is easier to put food waste in especially for people that have a hard time lifting there arms over there heads. Great video by the way.  Love the plumb color. I have the burgendy.

@Allen2045 The stand looks great, but since I couldn't get the pipe right away it made more sense to just get it started and get the worms out of their package. It was a great incentive for me to clean under my steps...earlier in the video you can see how cluttered it used to be!
