Inga’s Free Range Worm Farm
Permaculture student Inga van Dyk show us how to make a free range worm farm, using two plastic 20 litre buckets and her magic finger. The benefit of a free range worm farm is that it is integrated into the garden bed and worms distribute their nutrititious castings directly to the vegetable root zone.

Is that a carpet remnant on your head fashioned into a hat? Kidding.
Good video. Interesting system. Why not put some of the worms inside the bucket?

I have lots of voles that gregariously eat grubs and worms. will this not invite those dastardly little rodents to this area? I like the idea. I wonder if veggie would seek these buckets out and insert their roots in to the buckets?
I have lazy worms – they motly lay on their backs and sleep all day. Any advice?

What happens after you get heavy rain…will the bucket flood and drown the dorms?

We just cut the bottom off and stuck it in the ground about 6 inches.
Easy to move to another spot.

Nice job on the video. I’d like to have your “bing” gift. lol
Good info. Imagine if the entire world would place all their food scraps back into the earth, how much healthier our planet and future food would be?
Thanks so much for sharing.
God Bless,
