I started with 2 lbs of worms in mid September. This was recorded on November third and I have split my worms into two bins, both of which are doing great. The big one is doing amazingly well.

  • I didn't line it, I just drilled lots of 1/4" holes for air circulation and I only fill it eight inches deep or so. When it is nearly finished, I move everything to one side and add new shredded paper and vegetable scraps. The worms migrate on their own within a couple of weeks. Excess moisture drains into the bin below but if I have lost any worms into it, I've never noticed when I've poured the liquid out. It has worked pretty well for over a year now, much better than it did as a composter.

  • George, with the envirocycle, did you line the bottom with landscape fabric or anything? I have one of those and had the same experience as you (big ball of goop, mostly anaerobic). I was wondering about setting that up as a worm bin in the spring. Seems like the worms would end up in the liquid reservoir in the bottom. How did you set yours up?
