Harvesting Worm Castings

[mycerator]

Good to see somebody knows how to grow worms and your castings are like they are supposed to be and not mud or hard dry bricks that need busted up.

you are quite ingenious. This is very cool and you are doing a great thing for the earth and your plants. Doing things natural, the way God made it. I like this.

Looks like it works well. If I was you I would put some kind of slope to the floor that the castings fall on, that way you could bring the castings to the front of the floor area for collection. I noticed it looks like you have some tin from some roof laying around, that stuff might work and take minutes to install. Thanks for the vid.

I would not let the castings dry out as much make sure the castings is damp. You can rewet your dryout castings and they should fall apart.

HI!

My problem is that my castings turn really hard when I dry them. Do you think I'm not getting them small enough? I found some at the store that are fine dirt. Any thoughts?

Does any of the tumbling hurt the worms?

[pollardworms]

Tumbling is hard on them but the redworm is will overcome it once they are put into a new beding.

[pollardworms]

Worm castings is the byproduct (Worm Poop) from the earthworm. The earthworm that lives in your lawn and gardens eats dead plant matter and then poops and the plants in turn feeds from this and grows. In short worm castings is great for all kinds of plants.

I do not have any plans on paper to build this harvester. It is really not that hard to build. I will try to write some plans but this will take awhile.
