Todays Work From Home Project:
27 Gallon DIY Worm Bin
-
Grab two totes. Put bricks in one to act as a spacer/air pocket.
-
Drill a fuck-ton of holes using a 1/8 drill bit on the floor of the tub without bricks. This tub will have the medium and worms. The holes on the floor will help to aerate and let the lechate (worm juice) collect in the tub it’s resting in.
-
Next up, I drilled a couple larger holes on all four sides at the top of the bin that will house the worms. Then more holes in the lid with the 1/8 drill bit. Worms need air!!
-
Stack the two totes, with the one with holes on top. I then collected a hearty portion of leaf mold from my yard and mixed that with SPM, ROLS, Compost, Rice Hulls, OSF, a small amount of my diy Craft Blend, Rock Dust, and some EWC from my other bin. I topped it all off with some Kashi. Watered it all in with a wetting agent and some DIY Photosynthesis+.
I ordered 2000 worms from Uncle Jim’s and they should be here shortly. Let the good times roll y’all! I’ll update once my worms arrive.
