Yes you can add a hole at the bottom to drain water, but make sure to patch with a mesh wire to avoid the earthworm from getting out the hole. In some set up like using drums, you can add a faucet (at the bottom part) where you can turn on to flush out excess water.
Do you mix the organic waste material with soil or what before adding earthworm? Please what type of earthworm can we use in Nigeria to produce vermicompost? Thank you
Air drying is recommended when the vermicompost is to be stored - but not too dry and still keep 20-30 % moisture, which is related to microbial activity and nutrient retention. This study will help understand the reason behind it. www.researchgate.net/publication/336473473_Effect_of_Storage_Conditions_on_Vermicompost_Quality
Thank you for the additional information. Excellent point. Indeed it is important not to dry it well for the beneficial microbes that come with the vermicompost. It is also the reason why it was mentioned to be air dried and not sun dried.
I am burying store crates upside down in my garden everywhere this growing season. I am gonna feed them from my table bunny poo and leaves . But if you want your garden full of worms in a large tub soak shredded leaves routine food and corn meal and put that in your outdoor ingarden worm farms. You will be very happy. Mulch heavily in winter to protect yiud worm friends. Oh and they drastically will reduce yiur garbage bill
Very comprehensible and understandable
SUPER.ITS GOOD IDEA FOR AGRICULTURE
Very informative. Very nice video.
simple and good video thank you
How do you prevent the walls corrosion? Special cement or something else?
Bricks are used in the set-up. Cemented hollow blocks can be used too. Do not use metal materials.
May mga seminar po ba kayo, regarding sa farming, and composting, interested po ako thank you
good idea
Di we have to make holes in the bottom of the vermicompost bin?

Eisenia fetida also know as red wiggler.
Ap kaha se ho,hmko vermicompost chaiye
For 2 acre exotic vegetable vegetation how much vermi compost is required???
At Least A TON
It's depend on your soil type, if the level of organic matter in the soil is low. It can go until 10 tons per hectar. For 2 Acres, it's around 8 tons
@@EastWestSeedKnowledgeTransfer thanks for the info.
One month ready for harvesting ?! Wow that’s very fast I have to wait till six months and more 😓
why is it so dry and why are you encouraging the drying of it?

Don't completely dry vermicimpost as you kill the microbes that make vermicimpost so valuable in soil.

The rest is ok but the worm part l have to teach others to help me honestly
