RIP Frank. You are the smartest man I ever knew.
Love this video and I plan to try it. I am in Northeast Florida. We deal with hot summers and usually 1 or 2 freezes but no snow.
Good info. Thanks man.
Thanks for creating this video series! New subscriber here.
Hi just starting out with my worm farm and I‘m following your guidelines. I live in northern Germany, can I leave the farm outside in winter, it freezes here? Best wishes, Ebb
Do I have to worry about Leachate or is the over flow water good for veggies in the garden?
How do you harvest the worm castings?
Coming out with a video soon on that, but mostly feed on one side and harvest the other
I was wondering. Could you use the bell siphon (once a week or so) by filling the bed with water till it drains and use the water (witch would be worm casting tea) in your garden? I know worms can survive under water for a certain time.
There is no bell siphon here instead we have a 4 inch reservoir to hold water. And yes the overflow can go into the garden as worm tea. Thanks for the question Richard.
What you would get is leachate not worm tea. Tea is made by putting castings into a bucket or tea maker and aerating it for 24-48 hours. Leachate is juices from vegetables that run down through the castings and can actually develop phyto toxins which can make you ill if placed on edible plants. No one should really ever get leachate. A paper has recently come out that talks about a dryer worm castings having more valuable microbes and nutrients than wet ones. Leachate should not be used but if it is, only on trees or ornamentals.
Just wondering why this is different from traditional worm farming. People are using all kinds of different plastic containers for worm farming and feed their worms back and forth like you’re doing, so just wondering why this is unique?
Because this has a reservoir of water at the bottom that wicks up and keeps the worms a perfect moisture, even in heavy rain the excess water will drain through and if too much will overflow at 4”. Just using a container makes it difficult to keep the moisture perfect very easy to over water or let go dry.
If you watch the 40 minute video it will explain it in detail first 20 minutes is on how to make a wicking bed the last is how to use it for a worm farm.
I did watch your video and left a comment there. The wicking in my opinion is completely unnecessary creating more problems than it’s worth especially here in New England where the temperatures get very cold.
The wicking is very important as the worms must always be moist. In a cold climate you should keep them in a shed or basement somewhere out of the elements
@@HallsomeFarm to be honest sounds like a waste of time unless your harvesting that water for tea or something. unnecessary though the waste provides all the moisture necessary especially if the lids closed.
