FULL TRANSCRIPT BELOW How to Make Your Own Worm Bin [Music Playing] Well, my sun porch is really starting to take shape and the next project I have to do is to put together my vermiculture bin. Why would you want to start breeding worms? Well, there are a couple of good reasons. Number one, what we are doing with this system is we are going to be using all of our kitchen waste and all of those kitchen scraps are now no longer in your land fill. So it is reducing your total household waste. That waste is then being turned into compost with these worms and that compost is really going to enrich any of your container plants or you can use them in the garden outside. You are going to need a couple of things to put together your own vermiculture bin that you probably have at home already. You probably are not going to need to spend a dime. I got a rubber bin here. Just a storage bin, regular. It does not have to be too large. I am just using an 18 gallon one right …

worms breed fast. Some bins have a way to let the worms crawl into the new bin and than harvest the worm compost. If you get too many worms, get an old blender and wammo, a quick and easy liquid fertilizer and quite humane. Be good

video doesn’t explain where the holes go or why they are there. also when putting worms, soils into bin all we see is her chest/face and not what the bin looks like…. not a goodvisual explanation of process

@EmberflyLayouts Stops the worms falling down into the underneath box/second lid and drowning (but is porous enough to let any water through). Most people use mesh instead of cardboard because it allows water more freely and won’t breakdown.

she made it clear that it was for red worms, and the paper strips are just fine. pine sawdust will kill all worms.

@EmberflyLayouts Excess moisture will leak through the cardboard and drain, but the materials inside of the bin won’t fall out.

Why did you mix worms? Are these worms tha you found in your garden? You do amazing videos. You have a great camera person and excellent editing skills. When will we have an up date on your worm bin?

@Radwoem Very nice. I hope the people who are relying on your answers will take this erratic behavior of yours into consideration before doing what you suggest. You, dumbass,you can put my dick in your mouth until the swelling goes down. I wasn’t being nasty with you at first, but I don’t give a fuck now. Your instability becomes more apparent as your ignorance on a subject is revealed. I can’t help it that your blabber about worms is BULLSHIT. I merely suggested that you do your research.

@Radwoem I have no desire to argue with some piss-ant that thinks he’s Ken jennings. Go fuck yourself with an epigeic worm.
