how to setup a worm farm with a plastic bin. Nature got it right with this fertilizer, yet we continue to ignore nature by using harmful chemicals which harm us and our plants.

  • Would fungus or mold grow in the boxes when it sits for a week?, please let me know when you can. Thankyou!

  • @1roxylinkinparklover Yes..but this will not harm anything. The worms don't actually eat the food as they have no teeth. They wait for microorganisms to break down the food into a liquid so the worms can slurp up the microbes. The microbes that eat the food such as, mold and fungai, nematodes, protozoa are actually food for the worms.

    The worms will get to it as long as you don't have too much food in. Mold may indicate too much food. you can stir it up though.

  • @SquirminVermin So if mold or fungus appears, (and it dosn't have to do with alot of food) it goes away?

  • @1roxylinkinparklover Eventually, Yes. The worms will eat it all up but you should monitor it so it doesn't get out of control. You can flatten it or just turn things over and mix it up really good. This helps to add oxygen to the soil too.

  • My wife and I need something to substitute our income and this looks perfect. Approximately how much can a person make selling fishing worms?

  • @TheStratman2011 sadly it is not a profitable business. I just do it for a hobby. If you want to make money. You will have to go into it FULL TIME.

  • one of the better worm bin videos i've seen so far....

  • @iRlazyGoat Yes you can use the African nightcrawler for the phillipines the are very heat tolerant. I am surprised you can't use the red wiggler in the shade or in a big heap. If it gets too hot they can retreat farther down.

  • can i use african night crawlers for this setup?

    i cant use red wrigglers cuz im in the philippines and ideal worm hear for the weather r the night crawlers

  • It works really well. You can add as many as you want really. Then you will have different decomposition stages in different bins. Just take the bottom bin to your garden then put it back on top and start to fill it up again.

    In the past i have had as many as 7 buckets in a tower. With all the worms being in the top 2 bins.
