i’m sorry about your loss of african night crawlers. i know this hits you much harder than just a business loss because you care so much for all your worms not just the pets in your towers. my heart aches with yours because recently i was given some worms and killed almost all of them inside of a week due to the bucket going anaerobic. i wasn’t able to check on it soon enough to prevent it. we saved all we could but i felt just absolutely awful about my poor worms. i dream of being a good worm farmer one day. i’m so glad i’ve found your channels! thank you so much for sharing your experience with us!
The new mesh I got is 2.3 MM and I think it’s gonna work out OK. We use that one because I had that laying around and it makes the finest castings but way too small
That is a genius mechanical sifter you all made!! Very impressive! Thanks for showing us your bedding you use and behind the scenes of your business!! And of course I love seeing the worms!! Excellent video!!🪱🪱🪱
If you mount a funnel shaped skirt under each tub, that'd make everything drop directly into the next tub. Peace. Oh I meant to compliment you on it. That is a neat little sifter. I might have to make one. But, if I get compliments, I'm gonna take the credit for it. Yeah.peace
The sifter looks great! I like because it is vertical it saves space and the fact you can switch out the bins to different sizes! Any issues with the unit sliding along the floor or does it lock in place?
The 1/16th inch =1.587mm. The 2.3mm doesn't easily translate into a fraction: 5/64 is 1.984mm and the next common use fraction is = 3/32 if an inch at 2.831mm. For comparison, the 1/8th inch mesh is 3.175 mm & 1/4 inch is 6.35mm. 😉
That's a great harvester! May I ask how many watts your vibration motor is? I see them ranging from 15-100w in the model you've got, and it would help me to know which to choose. Thanks!
On the variable speed controller, did you push the switch to "VAR"? VAR stands for variable, and FULL strands for full speed. The FULL side of the switch will bypass the variable control knob and run it at full speed. The VAR post of the switch allows the control knob to control the speed faster or slower depending on which way you turn it.
is there a video on your sight here that would walk me through building my own worm shifter and harvester????. I would love to build one for self as yours.
A few videos back I talk about how we built it. I am more than willing to help you with questions I’ll give you my email Veecolantonio71@gmail.com 1-832-277-4270 cell

What part of the harvester is the motor attached to? Does it vibrate the entire wooden frame or is it somehow situated where it only vibrates the pans?
The motor is attached to the frame and it vibrates the entire thing. We connected the motor to one of those button things that supposed to control the speed, well the thing doesn’t work
@@TheGardenAndWormLady Darn covid. I know you've had problems with your thumbs since covid. I've had peripheral nerve tingling since having covid but not loss of use just tingling. It's a really ugly virus for sure. Your new system is amazing I love it
I don’t because I don’t harvest a lot but if someone makes me an offer that I can manage I’ll sell them. I’ve been asked a few times if I would sell my European cocoons

Very nice sifter. Some big worms you have there..
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Love the new harvester. 1/16 is super small. i struggle with the 1/12.

Thank you, I watch all your videos and I love them too☺️
@@TheGardenAndWormLady 😊
I love the new harvester. It's so cool and very helpful ❤️
Girl it works amazing. It does a better job if I put in a little at a time but I harvested and half the time
Appreciate the detailed information.

That is a nice design. Keep using your great mind. Take care. 😎
🤩
That's very ingenious
Thank you I really need it
Great idea! 🙂👍

The unit is built onto the table that has rubber feet. It doesn’t budge. I don’t have a ton of space right now so that’s why we built it vertically
The hook thingy holding the spring is called a turn-buckle. It's being used as an adjustable length spring retainer. Thanks for the video.
😂 thank you for that. The machine works better than I expected.
You would get more vibration if you fasten your trays with the screens to the frames that they're sitting on
New sifter looks good Vee! I’ve seen people talk about 1/8 and 1/12 screen. Do you know in inches what 2.3 mm is?
1/16 looks super tiny
Yes it’s too tiny the new one I got is 2.3 MM
The 1/16th inch =1.587mm. The 2.3mm doesn't easily translate into a fraction: 5/64 is 1.984mm and the next common use fraction is = 3/32 if an inch at 2.831mm.

I don’t know much about these things, but I took a picture for you. It won’t let me put it here, but I’ll put it in my community page.

I’ll look at it again but I have pressed every button on it and it just does nothing different, I think it’s defective

That looks awesome. What creative idea. Did you decide not to use that mini hand crank trowel you had gotten?
I still use it but when I harvest a lot my hands hurt some
