Let's see your worm bins!

Who’s your worm guy? Closest to me is a several hour drive. I’ve recently found myself throwing out ~100 pounds of brown packing paper and unprinted cardboard each week and it pains the tightwad in me that I’m not using it for something productive. There are restaurants with salad bars all around me with dumpsters near mine that if sweet talk won’t get the bus boys to toss it in my dumpster, maybe a $20 will.

I’ve ordered from Peaceful Valley Organics, Uncle Jim’s and some locals yokels. Good experiences with each.

Here’s some red wigglers tripping off some Amazonia P.E.S. caps… I finished a monotub and tossed the left overs in my bin I just turned them over back into the compost… big caps all spored out…

I posted how I got the name on another thread, shrooms at a live Pee Wee Herman show on Broadway laughing when none else was and wife dropped that line on me and I lost it…

Mesh, I lay cardboard down on the mesh trays at the beginning of the season and put some washed coco on the lower tray as bedding. As the top tray fills with castings and they eat their way through the cardboard I’ll just feed one area off to the side and they’ll all build up in that top/side zone.
Then I’ll pull the top tray off and lay it on a tarp. Scoop the top layer with all the worms and put them in the other tray with the coco and any of the worms that have fallen through. I sift the the castings through the mesh onto the tarp and any worms or debris left over gets tossed in the other tray and that tray becomes the top… I’ll cycle the trays 3-4 times a seasons. Each tray produces a couple 5 gallon buckets of castings per run. The trap door at the bottom is for pans of leachate that I pull and toss in flower beds…

I’m always willing to send some of my population and I have another friend who would be as well. Just for future reference!! :facepunch:

Thanks alot, but I’m good. Even if every worm I had died today, it would not take much to get hundreds out of the ground. Perhaps a little pile of horse poop, over here;)

Not sure if links like this are allowed, mod can take it down and slap my knuckles with a virtual rule if need be.
