Do you also use the top cover or cover the bin? If so, did you also makes holes on the top cover?

Thanks

@GeorgesMuzikVideos Hey George, you should had a cover on your bin and it should have holes drilled into it. The bottom can have holes too. If it has holes, your bin will have some juice leaking out at some point, so you can raise the bin on two small blocks of wood and have a plastic door mat or something to catch the liquid.

I got my worms from the local pet store

@Strom63 It's good to know that they are so accessible!

Nice video, but for your next video, could you please turn off the TV/radio? Thanks! ^_^

[MsMinute101]

@PacoBell For sure, watching back, I've realized the video needs some work.

HI Brent, nice video.  I've a store near by which sells vermi compost bags - does vermi compost serve the same purpose as Potting mix? or do i have to mix anything to VC again to make it a proper potting mix?

You want the paper in your bin to be moist when you start out. Generally, you won't need to add water later on... the organic matter that you add periodically will keep the content at a good moisture level. We'll be filming a couple follow up videos this spring to clear things up!

When you add water how often and how do you go about doing so?

Thanks again
