The holes are for drainage. The cardboard both helps keep moisture in and castings from going down the holes. It will disintegrate and be eaten by the worms eventually.
The reason for doing this is either to get the worm castings, an excellent fertilizer, or to breed worms to feed chickens or other animals. It's also a simple-to-use composting system.
@Cuter1995 no ur not u don't get this video randomly u get it by searching so unless u searched for it it's not weird it doesn't make sense it's just for likes
I just dont know why you have to do this. I put all my veggie kitchen scraps right into my garden. Dig a hole, insert and in 2 weeks its all gone, eaten up by my worms. I have the healthiest garden on the planet. My worms are so happy! and my veggies are so rich! All natural, no worm beds!
worms breed fast. Some bins have a way to let the worms crawl into the new bin and than harvest the worm compost. If you get too many worms, get an old blender and wammo, a quick and easy liquid fertilizer and quite humane. Be good
video doesn't explain where the holes go or why they are there. also when putting worms, soils into bin all we see is her chest/face and not what the bin looks like.... not a goodvisual explanation of process

Why did you mix worms? Are these worms tha you found in your garden? You do amazing videos. You have a great camera person and excellent editing skills. When will we have an up date on your worm bin?
Also, to Marcus, most of the time a worm bin/bed is set up for epigeic worms (also called "manure" worms because they can be found in fields under cow dung and the like). These are worms that prefer the uppermost soil-layer, if not above the soil (maybe under leaves or poop). Nightcrawlers would never do in a wormbed for wigglers, as they are anecic worms and require a much different habitat/setup. Type in "epigeic worms" in google and check out the first couple of posts.

@katmaydo I put about 10 holes on the lid and 10 on the bottom so water can drain out. I add food as I use it and try to keep about 2/3 carbon to 1/3 food waste. Every couple months or so I remove the worm castings and mix up the pile a bit. Hope this helps.
Uh.. those newspaper strips are WAY too big. You need to get a paper-shredder. If you want a great bedding for your worms, a mixture of Sawdust, newsprint SHREDDED FINELY, and Peat moss is excellent. Just soak it all in water for a few days, mix it up, drain it, and press the excess moisture out. It should be damp, but not soaked. Her Setup WILL work, but only for Red Wigglers. Nightcrawlers and native earthworms will NOT survive in her bin.
It doesn't have to be shredded super-fine, man. I've had a worm-BED (big-assed outside deal) for around three years and I've found that they can survive just about anything. I typically mix shredded newspaper, horse manure (needs to be old/dry), green grass-clippings, and lime-free peat moss. I spray that down with a waterhose (outside, of course, where the bed is) and mix it with a cultivator tool. I let it go through first heat (pile it, leave it for 3 days) and add.
@mhuerta104 Those strips are too big. It will cause a die-off when temps get too high. The reason you want the paper shredded finely, is to allow oxygen to get to the worms. Besides that, you cant just up and add worms like this, you must allow the bedding to start decomposing for prime results.
@mmmmmarcus hey whats the ideal night crawler worm bin setup? i live in the Philippines and Africa nightcrawlers are the ideal type of worm here plzz i need info
@iRlazyGoat That's a tough one. There's very little literature on African nightcrawlers, however, I have a feeling they like similar conditions to manure worms, given africa's generally dry climate. so I'd say just stick with shredded paper, peatmoss, or other beddings, keep the bin warm and moist, etc.. just a quick word-- if the temp in the bin goes under 50 degrees, both redworms and african nightcrawlers will rapidly die.

@EmberflyLayouts Stops the worms falling down into the underneath box/second lid and drowning (but is porous enough to let any water through). Most people use mesh instead of cardboard because it allows water more freely and won't breakdown.
@EmberflyLayouts The holes are for drainage. The cardboard both helps keep moisture in and castings from going down the holes. It will disintegrate and be eaten by the worms eventually.
Use kitchen scraps, but not meat, bone, or fat scraps.
Many use or recommend newspaper in vermiculture, but the paper-making and printing processes use so many hjarmful chemicals, even when soy-based inks are used.
The plastic storage tote is MADE of petro-chemicals - many will migrate into the environment and the worms, and their castings, and into the food. Instead, fashion a lid for an old wine or whisky barrel, and use leaves & lawn clippings for worm food and bedding.
@free6006 LOL sorry that comment made me laugh a little, don't pay attention to this dumb American "red wigglers". Red Tiger worms (Eisenia fetida) are probably the best they tend to eat the most, but the more commonly available and hence cheaper ones are Dendrobaena, fishing enthusiasts use them as bait. The design of this wormery is just flawed, you get liquid at the bottom which could be used, if it isn't drained the wormery will fail as conditions will be too wet.
@Zoroastrianistic Thank you for your suggestion. I will try, there are a lot of worms in my garden, but as said I didnt know if I cab use it for composting. Thanks
Wow, was that ever non-informative. So, what's she going to do now, open it up in 6 months? Ridiculous. How she keeps putting "here" at the end of all her sentences drives me up the wall.
how does the water drain without the worms coming out? it might sound cruel but i want to make a big one of these and sell them to fishers as bait : ( im 14
ok guys, the holes are on the bottom so the extra water can drain, you need to put on top of that bed she made about 4 to 8 inches of dirt soil, you can also use the worm to make worm castings and from those you can make compost tea you can research more about worm there really awesome.... and dont use any citric fat just vegetables. this is not my video but i hope it was helpful
How do you know when your worm mixture is ready to be added to your garden? How often can you add kitchen scraps? Daily? Do you have to continue to add soil if you add a lot of kitchen scraps?
look up can-o-worms for people in Australia you can catch and recycle the liquid. Its a worm bin made by RELN plastics round with several layers works well.
@alleycat101100 from what i've read, the bin does not have to be that big, some people actually use relatively shallow bins. You do have to use red wigglers because they are some of the only worms that do not need tons of soil. the ratio for food to worm is 1:2, so for 2lb of worms feed them about 1lb of food a day.
Probably a good thing to say would be that they don't admit an odor the only thing you'll smell when u put your nose right up 2 the worm castings is a fresh Earthy smell, its Great :)
Hi,I ave a question too,I have made my own wormbin yestreday,but the worms keep crawling up on to the lid of the bin,does that mean they don't like it there?I have done it the same way as you,or is it normal that they crawl all over the bin?
Hey Patti, I made a worm bin in a 5 gallon bucket with about 24 worms. How many worms would you sugguest I have? and how often should I add new worms?
nice video, this idea is good if you don;t have a garden and not a lot of kitchen waist but if you have a garden it is much better and free to just dig a hole in the ground .fill it with kitchen and garden waist and cover it with soil or some plastic material ie damp proof membrane , nature will compost it in under 21 days, you can also make a timber/concrete blocks composting box
I think you're better off getting a product called, Can-O-Worms. It is a much more efficient method of farming worms, and includes 3 round bins that are stacked on each other and a tap for collecting your own compost tea. Collecting the composted soil is as easy as it gets (no having to separate worms from the soil).There are a large number of different worm species, and some are better than others for composting. The worms she has do not look to be composting worms.
To answer your question: The number of holes vary on how large the bin is. As long as there is ventilation, you're good. As for the scraps, avoid meats, bones, dairy, plastics and fats/greases. You can add scraps from fruits & veggies, tea bags, coffee grinds, paper and cleaned egg shells. Happy composting!!
Does anyone know what happens if you use native earthworms? I've just learned that the red wriglers are a tropical variety, so I would worry about introducing a foreign and potentially troublesome species in my garden if I live in a country where winter temperatures are mild (England) and they might survive.On the other hand I wouldn't want to miss out on enriching my soil with a population of baby worms/cocoons if I go and do it back home where they would certainly freeze out (Poland).
should i keep meat out of this bin? meat decomposes as well over time. does meat attract other bugs, is that why? also, where are the holes? does the bin have to be rubber, can it be plastic? can you do a video on worms and the different type of worms?
Hmmmm...How often should one put in scraps? Do yard clippings serve the same purpose as table scraps? Is there certain left-over foods that should not be used? Does one need to replinish the newspapers and/or water periodically? Can one recycle other types of paper in this manner? Approximately how much of each ingredient should be used? Thanks! Excellent way to practice permaculture!
This video is very frustrating. I don't know how many holes she drilled; I DO know how a drill bit looks when it is drilling a hole, so I didn't really need to see that. She doesn't say or show anything about the actual harvesting - do you lift up the cardboard on the bottom? Or what? Really poor editing, and just not enough info.
I would fuck the shit outa dat lady I hav a worm bin 2 and I didn't knw women do this lol I think its sexyremember we all come from worms and dead people....wen u die the worms and bugs decompose u and turn u into food for the plants (that we eat)and the trees(the air we breatheþso u c people shouldn't b scared of worms lol what the fuck u eat them everyday u write on them everyday u fuck on them everyday lmao!!!!!
When you are ready to actually use the results in the garden...how do you go about that? Sift out the worms? And how do you get to the composted stuff instead of pulling out the newly put in kitchen scraps? Hope that line of questions make sense..
And do they mind spagnum peat moss (not treated with miracle grow or anything...the kind you buy compressed in a bale...) as a substrate, or is the soil mentioned the best?
If worms don't like damp paper nobody bothered to tell mine that. My population has more than doubled using damp paper as a bedding. You need red wigglers, earthworms do not belong in a bin, they belong in the garden.
I would have chocked it up on a set of old house bricks, placed a container underneath to catch the worm juice - underneath the drainage holes.
As it is, when the liquid comes out, she'll have to lift the whole heavy container and then the lid & pour it off. No big problem unless you have a bad back I guess (or dislike working) lol.
seriously though, I've seen people use realy big boxes, tilted slightly and with a hole/tap/hose (difrent people, different solutions) draining into a bottle or a bucket
I did this with regular warms but in a biger container, an industrial steel barrel. I'm using pine straw and other yard waste, which is what I found them in.
I dont think your ~warms~ are going to do all that well, specially with the conditions you stated. Try worms, they work way better. and get a Bigger container, as a biger container just seems too small. Good luck,
my worms did great for the first 2 months or so. but recently they have started leaving. I keep it some what moist and have coffee grounds and plant matter in there for them. Any ideas for the mass migration of death? I was thinking maybe its the heat I have my windows open so it gets mid to upper 80s in the day time.
Are you using Red Wiggler worm? -they're different from earthworms, and they can consume half their weight in kitchen scraps a day. They also don't mind confinement, and they're the best for vermiculture. Earthworms are soil dwelling (best in plant beds) and they hate confinement, and will try to escape.
Also, keep the container dark, as the worms hate light. Ideal temperature 50-77F degrees, and you should definitely try keep them cooler than 85F degrees.
Then I say your original conviction is correct - probably too hot for the worms' liking. Move them to your basement or other cooler area of your house.
Other things you should check is to make sure that your bin isn't too wet or too dry. If too wet, add more dry bedding, if too dry, mist with non-chlorinated water. Also, if your bin bedding's ph is too acidic, they'll die or try to escape - cut down on citrus, green/wet leaves, or other acidic foods. You could add a bit of garden lime to raise the ph, but do this carefully. Bottom line is that they'll leave their home if conditions are not maintained, so you need to investigate the culprit.
I guess so through the 4'PVC pipe at the center ,,,i just followed the way they made it in youtube the only difference is it's a laquer drum but not some plastic bin.
Nope i was wrong but instead it's a laquer drum because it's much more inexpensive here in the Philippines and food grade drum is too much expensive.
But i did washed it well with water and painted it with primer paint for metals. I make sure that it's thouroughly dried before started using it as a compost bin.
Do you think that heat is the cause since soil is also hot and they live underground i mean the worms.
Your vid is really great, i admire it but mine is a 55 gallon oil drum w/c i turn it to a tumbler w/a 4"PVC pipe @ the center for air as breather cycle, But i was wondering the worms end up dead . What do you think causes, it is it too hot ? I placed the bin on the basement. Any advice please......
I am interested in growing worms... thanks for the info.

That's interesting, but I have a question. What kind of earth worm do you put in your bin? Can I use the earth worm from my garden? Thank you.
free6006 1 year ago
@free6006 LOL sorry that comment made me laugh a little, don't pay attention to this dumb American "red wigglers". Red Tiger worms (Eisenia fetida) are probably the best they tend to eat the most, but the more commonly available and hence cheaper ones are Dendrobaena, fishing enthusiasts use them as bait. The design of this wormery is just flawed, you get liquid at the bottom which could be used, if it isn't drained the wormery will fail as conditions will be too wet.

@Zoroastrianistic Thank you for your suggestion. I will try, there are a lot of worms in my garden, but as said I didnt know if I cab use it for composting. Thanks

how does the water drain without the worms coming out? it might sound cruel but i want to make a big one of these and sell them to fishers as bait : ( im 14
crudnup 1 year ago
ok guys, the holes are on the bottom so the extra water can drain, you need to put on top of that bed she made about 4 to 8 inches of dirt soil, you can also use the worm to make worm castings and from those you can make compost tea you can research more about worm there really awesome.... and dont use any citric fat just vegetables. this is not my video but i hope it was helpful

How do you know when your worm mixture is ready to be added to your garden? How often can you add kitchen scraps? Daily? Do you have to continue to add soil if you add a lot of kitchen scraps?

Could you use a smaller bin than an 18 gallon one? and do you HAVE to use red wigglers and night crawlers??
plz answer
alleycat101100 1 year ago
@alleycat101100 from what i've read, the bin does not have to be that big, some people actually use relatively shallow bins. You do have to use red wigglers because they are some of the only worms that do not need tons of soil. the ratio for food to worm is 1:2, so for 2lb of worms feed them about 1lb of food a day.

I think you're better off getting a product called, Can-O-Worms. It is a much more efficient method of farming worms, and includes 3 round bins that are stacked on each other and a tap for collecting your own compost tea. Collecting the composted soil is as easy as it gets (no having to separate worms from the soil).There are a large number of different worm species, and some are better than others for composting. The worms she has do not look to be composting worms.

niklas1395 2 years ago
To answer your question: The number of holes vary on how large the bin is. As long as there is ventilation, you're good. As for the scraps, avoid meats, bones, dairy, plastics and fats/greases. You can add scraps from fruits & veggies, tea bags, coffee grinds, paper and cleaned egg shells. Happy composting!!
Waldorf1981 2 years ago
Does anyone know what happens if you use native earthworms? I've just learned that the red wriglers are a tropical variety, so I would worry about introducing a foreign and potentially troublesome species in my garden if I live in a country where winter temperatures are mild (England) and they might survive.On the other hand I wouldn't want to miss out on enriching my soil with a population of baby worms/cocoons if I go and do it back home where they would certainly freeze out (Poland).

should i keep meat out of this bin? meat decomposes as well over time. does meat attract other bugs, is that why? also, where are the holes? does the bin have to be rubber, can it be plastic? can you do a video on worms and the different type of worms?
BartenderMix 2 years ago
Hmmmm...How often should one put in scraps? Do yard clippings serve the same purpose as table scraps? Is there certain left-over foods that should not be used? Does one need to replinish the newspapers and/or water periodically? Can one recycle other types of paper in this manner? Approximately how much of each ingredient should be used? Thanks! Excellent way to practice permaculture!

This video is very frustrating. I don't know how many holes she drilled; I DO know how a drill bit looks when it is drilling a hole, so I didn't really need to see that. She doesn't say or show anything about the actual harvesting - do you lift up the cardboard on the bottom? Or what? Really poor editing, and just not enough info.

If worms don't like damp paper nobody bothered to tell mine that. My population has more than doubled using damp paper as a bedding. You need red wigglers, earthworms do not belong in a bin, they belong in the garden.

I would have chocked it up on a set of old house bricks, placed a container underneath to catch the worm juice - underneath the drainage holes.
As it is, when the liquid comes out, she'll have to lift the whole heavy container and then the lid & pour it off. No big problem unless you have a bad back I guess (or dislike working) lol.

my worms did great for the first 2 months or so. but recently they have started leaving. I keep it some what moist and have coffee grounds and plant matter in there for them. Any ideas for the mass migration of death? I was thinking maybe its the heat I have my windows open so it gets mid to upper 80s in the day time.
SPCkeith 2 years ago
Are you using Red Wiggler worm? -they're different from earthworms, and they can consume half their weight in kitchen scraps a day. They also don't mind confinement, and they're the best for vermiculture. Earthworms are soil dwelling (best in plant beds) and they hate confinement, and will try to escape.
1bluema 2 years ago
Also, keep the container dark, as the worms hate light. Ideal temperature 50-77F degrees, and you should definitely try keep them cooler than 85F degrees.
1bluema 2 years ago
redworms and its dark i keep cardboard over the soil. I can't keep a lid on it because then it is an oven but i keep the soil covered up.
SPCkeith 2 years ago
Then I say your original conviction is correct - probably too hot for the worms' liking. Move them to your basement or other cooler area of your house.
1bluema 2 years ago
Other things you should check is to make sure that your bin isn't too wet or too dry. If too wet, add more dry bedding, if too dry, mist with non-chlorinated water. Also, if your bin bedding's ph is too acidic, they'll die or try to escape - cut down on citrus, green/wet leaves, or other acidic foods. You could add a bit of garden lime to raise the ph, but do this carefully. Bottom line is that they'll leave their home if conditions are not maintained, so you need to investigate the culprit.

Nope i was wrong but instead it's a laquer drum because it's much more inexpensive here in the Philippines and food grade drum is too much expensive.
But i did washed it well with water and painted it with primer paint for metals. I make sure that it's thouroughly dried before started using it as a compost bin.
Do you think that heat is the cause since soil is also hot and they live underground i mean the worms.
