I don't think he really knows what he's doing either...They need darkness...they need moist bed...need to have the worms in their new environment a few days to get use to their new home before you add the composting food..

He is using a translucent bin so he can see the worms, DUMBIE! If you can't SEE your little friends what good are they?

Don't forget to wet that bedding a little bit!

A very well done video...and one cute guy! I would choose an opaque tub myself. John

Thank you Andrew!!!

@ajreptiles citrusy foods won't "burn" them, they just don't prefer it...but they'll still eat it. So add it sparingly...same with spicy stuff like peppers.

I really like the high-techness of this bin design with the tubing, it's definitely for the nerdier composters like myself :) Otherwise, don't think it's the least effort you can make for having a worm bin!
Instead of the pipe-work, drill a few 1/8" holes in the base of your (opaque) bin and have a second bin stuck underneath.

Worms don't like sunlight, and using a translucent bin (where light can easily pass through) is a mistake.
The idea of a worm bin is to simulate nature, so your bin should be opaque instead with holes drilled around all sides for air to get in.

I know you say "super simple," however, I would say there are still easier, simpler (possibly even more effective) ways to make a DIY wormbin. Also, I don't think many vermicomposters would agree with the use of a translucent bin. Finally, the point should be made that red wigglers are surface dwellers and so your bin is much deeper than necessary. Still, I appreciate the effort to spread the compost message and the positive attitude.
