Hi Im new to this group. Im from the Philippines and doing research on vermiculture and vermicomposting since 2000. Aside from my backyard vermicompost,...
Does it matter what size the bins are? I have a couple of 18 gal bins and would like to use these instead of buying new ones, but am not sure if larger bins...
Hello folks! I've been lurking and reading for a couple of months, as I was interested in starting a worm composting system to deal with my vegetable scraps...
Hi, Have you considered getting the temperature inside the bin? Or is there enough aeration? Any of these two might have affected the worms. Joel ... From:...
Hi, I'm a long time member, and have a question...are Tiger worm warm or cold blooded? I'd never thought about it until yesterday when a 4th grader asked me...
Hi Joel Thanks for your reply. I have drilled about 10 holes in each side / end of the bin, and about the same on the top. I thought this would allow enough...
I believe that 18 gallon bins are the perfect size for vermicomposting. 30 gallon bins will work, but they are VERY heavy when full of worms and compost. ...
Has the weather been changing a lot? Changes in pressure can make worms go to the top some people note their worms move up whenever rain is expected. I...
Sal, We got old garbage cans from the city for $8,00 each. They came with the holes already drilled out and the bottom cut off. For me they are working ok. I...
Sal, NOt sure where you are located but that many holes in the bin could invite large volumns of BSF, not that it is bad but they over whelm the bin. GR ... ...
I use ten gallon bins and find them very body friendly. No heavy lifting easy to move and work with and each harvest is around twenty five pounds. moisture is...
IMHO, I have found that either moisture, acidity, heat, or creatures will make the herd migrate to the sides or lid. Alot of times they are doing the nasty....
Hi Sal I guess adding some more holes will be good. You will only get BSF infestation if you have undecomposed kitchen or plant wastes exposed on top of the...
Have you tried finding out more info. on the biopod? I wrote about this interesting soldier fly device awhile back. http://www.thebiopod.com/ -Amy W. ... on...
Hi Amy, Thanks for the link to biopod. It was interesting. I guess it should be done separately from vermicomposting due to heat build-up. The method can...
If it is so nasty Why do so many do it? Jerry Walker ... From: Gary Date: 08/06/08 22:35:45 To: the_worm_bin@yahoogroups.com Subject: [TheWormBin] Re: Hello,...
I have great news! Not only does Cincinnati have a great new GREEN GENERAL store called Park + Vine, but they want to carry my wormtastic tea for the garden! I...
Hey guys, I started little experiment yesterday.. a community repository for vermicomposting information. I've been finding tons of great information online:...
Hi, Steven: I'm curious why you don't list coffee grounds as a good food -- mine get a healthy dose of coffee grounds as a topping to all new batches of foods....
Amy, ... Please add it :). The WormWiki is new so not many people have added their foods to the list yet... so please add any foods you have had experience...
Tonight is my first night as den mother for the 2nd grade cub scout group. The main activity I'm going for is building up a couple of worm bins. We're going...
For free! Please take them! I have too much going on right now to keep up with my bins, and I compost in my yard, so I have an alternate means of getting rid...
A good thing to point out is NO SALT for the worms. Anything they put in that's salty will kill the worms. Encourage them to rinse the food or just don't put...
Hi folks, Thanks for all your replies! Having read them all and observed my worms a bit more ( as I've only had them one week now!) I think both Alison and...
Hi Sal I know this is a lot to ask, but could you post a picture of a cocoon and eggs. Thanks Meg sal_jefford <sal.jefford@...> wrote: Hi folks, Thanks...
Meg, Here's a picture of cocoons that was posted a while ago in the files section of the site. It's a bit blurry, but I think you'll be able to see. ...
Hi folks, Only discovered this list yesterday while googling around. I'm not interested in wormfarming per se, but rather want to control and process waste...
