Does the worms need water?? Where did the liquid at the bottom of? the bin come from?
By: simplelivingskills. on 18 Feb 12, 15:28:11
Yes molds grow in the bin. That's all part of the process of breaking down the? food.

Does any type of Fungus, or Mold grow in your boxes? If so, please let me know which layer and how bad it grows or gets. Because I don't want to scare my parents when they? open it and find Fungus or Mold growing in it. Thankyou!

Great? video, cheers..

Awesome video, thank you for the simple step-by-step! I find that at least a dozen or so worms crawl down from the top bin into the second one below. Is this normal? I've only had the setup for a couple of days so perhaps it's while they're getting used to it? I? wonder if I should keep transferring them back or just leave them...

Very simple and very? helpful! Thank you for sharing your vid...

Looks? good. Personally I like to have more height between my totes than what I see in your deisgn. I also cover my air vent holes to prevent those pesky gnats from entering/leaving. Sooner or later you will get flies/gnats no matter how well you monitor feeding. Great video!

We just feed ours continuously, but you'll know when to slow things down and let them catch up. If it starts to smell, add more carbon material (straw, shredded paper, shredded leaves....) and if that doesn't work? you're feeding them too much. I really don't think about it that hard. It'll all work out if you just get started. Thanks!

@rightview Thanks for your response. Also, does it hasten the composting process if we wait till the? worms have first eaten ALL their food before we give them more veggie scraps?
By: simplelivingskills. on 03 Dec 10, 04:07:02
1) Don't know how many, but space them about a half inch to two-inches apart. I was sort of random. 2 a and b - three inches each, give or take an inch - and you'll know if there is too much fresh food if you get fruit flies or if it stinks when? you open the lid. Good luck! PS: It's really easy. Just do it and don't think too much about the details. You'll figure it all out as you go.
By: rightview. on 03 Dec 10, 00:15:38
Wow, looks really simple! And, more importantly, no mess! Thanks! This is my first time ever so I have some questions: 1) About how many 3/16" holes on the? bottom are enough to invite 100% of the worms to travel up to the second level of new food? 2) For best results, how many inches of a) 1st layer newspaper and b) food scraps? 3) When you add additional (new) scraps, what's the ratio of fresh scraps to dry newspaper (what signs indicate the need for dry newspaper)?
By: simplelivingskills. on 17 Nov 10, 15:45:12
The worms work their way up to the top to get to the fresh food once they're finished eating and pooping out the old stuff in the lower container. SO? the answer is to just stop putting food in the lower one, and begin putting it in the upper containers. The worms work their way up, leaving the lower one nearly empty of worms (not totally, but who cares? You have millions of them and they'll reporoduce like crazy!) so you can use the castings on your garden.
By: simplelivingskills. on 17 Nov 10, 15:43:37
They don't generally try to escape. If they do, something is wrong. For instance,? you may need to empty the water out of the bottom container, or feed them more. I've had the same worms in mine for years and there are more now than ever.
By: roon4660. on 17 Nov 10, 03:20:28
I have a question. Red wigglers love to climb, what do you do about them escaping? Each of these? plastic containers fit snugly together when they are empty but when they are not a gap is created and worms can escape.

nice video ? helped me alot
By: jahsistrunk. on 14 Oct 10, 14:06:33
Question. So after you have? a good soil for your plants. Do you have to dig the worms out? Is there a simpler way of retrieving your soil?
By: AdelMyBell. on 27 Sep 10, 23:01:24
See this makes sence! I think I am going to go with this bin idea because the? rest seem really messy.
By: folksongsingalong. on 05 Aug 10, 03:08:32
What is the 2nd level for??
By: simplelivingskills. on 30 Jul 10, 19:40:09
- Yes, liberate them into your? garden and get the right kind of worms for indoor composting. You'll be much happier. :-D
By: SaintLunaLaguna. on 30 Jul 10, 18:34:09
Ahhh ... I see. Just found out Red Wrigglers are called Tiger Worms here in the UK. I just bought composting worms, European Nightcrawlers off of? Ebay. Do you think I should liberate them?
By: simplelivingskills. on 30 Jul 10, 13:32:22
No you don't need a new bin. You need new? worms. Nighcrawlers aren't meant for composting. Get composting worms, also called "red wrigglers" among other things. They are small and like to be near the surface. Nighcrawlers and earthworms like to be deep in the dirt.
By: SaintLunaLaguna. on 30 Jul 10, 02:44:01
Yes, it's my first day and there are already casualties. I've done my best to put the little buggers back in their box -- I may have to find another bin. We? shall see ...
By: SaintLunaLaguna. on 24 Jul 10, 13:05:15
Thanks!?
By: simplelivingskills. on 24 Jul 10, 12:56:35
I would sand them down a bit if they are jagged. The worms could cut themselves on the? jagged bits I guess. Good luck!
