HOW TO MAKE A WORM FARM - Converting an old bathtub into a worm paradise
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 июн 2021
- In this video, I show how I made my worm farm from an old bath tub, a gate hinge and a bit of tin.
Day after day, year after year, it will produce microbe rich, nutrient rich fertilizer for my garden.

cannot understand a lot of what you say
i'm only 16 living in the u.s.a but one day i plan to visit Australia and try to meet geoff lawton. i've been watching your videos and learning a lot and putting it towards my future, so thank you. Keep doing what you do best!
If you go, meet Weedy too!
Yep - that's right Johnbates4765
keep on keeping on...
Its always been in my bucket list to go there but haven't yet. I really hope you make it to Australia. So much to see and learn there. Best of luck to you on our dreams!
Crikey your talent with film makes watching your channel completely addictive and completely enjoyable
Loved.. The Australian accent.. Especially the last one.. Pawah
I bingewatched this whole channel today. Love it. Cheers.
Way to go! That must have been a marathon 😎 Hope you had some popcorn or chips 😆
me too nd got yelled by mom for staying up late but what can i do I am hungry to consume this content :')
@@sina1436 tell her you are learning how to grow food. She’ll understand 🤣🎃🪱
You're a true artist mate, that ending hit deep in my soul!
When you said you’re actually a photographer at the end that made so much sense.
that last part gave me chills. the good kind .
If I could use only one word to describe the feelings I get when watching and listening it would be the word "FREEDOM" God bless from the US.
If only people would try there hand at planting a food garden.If you new at it there is so much good information like yours to start them off.Dont just entertain yourself with the videos do it you will never regret it.And your family will always have food on the table.Thankyou for the inspiration. Love from South Africa.
You give off such a nice vibe, seems like it'd be amazing to sit down and have a talk.
agreed
I like that you show some of the challenges, as many worm videos are more advertisement than edutainment.
Hello your vemiculture video started a fire with me and starting a worm farm, and after watching it I got completely hooked on your RUclips series, I started building a few of my own. I wanted to thank you personally sir it has completely changed my life for the better . 🙏🙏🙏
That is awesome!
Your voice is so calming.. love listening to you. Love from Melbourne
I love how your garden is like a terrace farm with the heart of it being wormville. Thanks for sharing mate.🤩
I am at a loss for words! I've been looking for someone like you, all my life. I am incredibly inspired by your video. Thank you for sharing your gifts! I believe you are making a difference ❤️
I did not expect this video about worms to end with such beautiful poetry. Nicely done.
Hello, hello, I stumbled across your page this morning. Now I’m not one to normally leave a comment but something about this channel has left me in awe.
Ps thanks for the tip on the onions, my papa bear and I have started to use it in our very own Wormville! Legend
Welcome to the channel 😃🪱
This channel is a priceless find. This is a solution to people’s physical, mental and environmental obstacles.
Thank you for showing the tip for treating onions, now I do not have to throw away my onion kitchen waste. Great video
Wow, you’re a garden zen-master. I love your wormproject AND of course your photograpy.
Tak 🙏🏻😁
@@TheWeedyGarden YES, a true zen-master would of course reply in my native language. Why am I even surprised?
Master, I bow to you!
@@skakpedersen Ha ha. Rolig nu. Jeg er halv Dansk Kåre. Dit navn er Dansk. Det kan man se hele vejen her i Australien 🇩🇰
It's so great to see your progress. I'm again jealous and inspired by you and your creativity. Thank you for helping lead the way and show us things which have true value. If only one out of ten, or even 100 people did what you are doing with your land and understand the sacred life mentality in a remotely similar way as yourself, the world would would be drastically improved. Cheers to you and your ongoing participation with our beautiful planet.
Thankyou Paul. The trend is growing. Literally!

You are truly an inspiration. I want to live my life like you
Amen!
I literally have a bathtub on the farm. It was destiny haha thanks for sharing. You rock
I've watched a lot of worm casting videos. This is the most informative.
I’ve modelled my worm farms on geoffs design but I let the rain in my worms go crazy for it, Marty’s garden is a great channel for worms 🪱 he is near port Macquarie, love the way you’re always earthing 🌈🙏😎
For a homeschooling project we made them out of totes. My children enjoyed making and feeding the worms.
My family is so grateful to have recently discovered your wonderful stories. ❤️ From the Messick tribe
Are you talking about totes as in 'plastic storage totes' or tote 'bags' like you would put groceries in? I'm looking for a solution using plastic storage totes, ones that stack even *without* the lids on.
THAT GARDEN IS FLUSH GREEN!!! WOW! nice work!
You’re the conscious living guy that is adding the light for the whole. Blessings! Perfect life style!
I have never seen a more perfect man. This world needs more like you. You are a keeper.
😀🙏💚🌱🎥🔥🦘🦶🏻
@@TheWeedyGarden 💚 🙏 💕
Really nice to watch someone with so much passion for nature and all its goings on .truly living the dream
I like that you are idealistic but not dogmatic in your efforts.
Well you could say that I am unrealistically aiming for perfection (that’s what idealistic means), which may be true, but I see it more like giving it the best shot from that which I have learnt and see what happens. This was the first time I made a wormfarm properly. The population has increased exponentially, and today Wormville is still thriving. I posted a little vid on FB the other week
"Blue" threw me off for a sec lol. Great vid.
Love the Creator in you!
My Grandfather and Father had worm farms and used the Honesty System too. Now I'm starting a flower and market garden, as well as a permaculture methods and a food forest! I've started collecting plants for 2 years now, flowers and vegetables will be 1st! But never watched or ask about how to build beds. Now I must thank you, I was going to use a bathtub but I may just it under trees until I put in a home for them
Finally ! A work farm build that I understand. Thank you for posting this. Love your energy.
You’re peacefulness your editing your storytelling your gardening is just WONDERFUL. You are beautiful and an inspiration
I love how you make due with whatever you have laying around the property. True sustainment mentality.
I try to.
You are a true artist, now to watch the rest of your videos. Thanks
please do, enjoy them snd please comment or ask questions 👍🙏🏻 It helps my channel grow 😃
I use to live in a cold/snowy climate & had a vermicompost worm bin indoors from veggie waste & a compost 2 bay system outdoors from my garden/veggies/yard waste that sat in mostly shade & I never covered the outdoor compost bays. In summer, I would water The pile to keep cool. Summers were dry & a bit hot @ times. The worm pee alone made my plants/veggies/trees so healthy!! Cardboard & watermelon/rinds would be devoured by the worms really quickly, it was hilarious. 😄 In winter I used cheap & big onions & set them out in our living space (living room/lounge) because onions are a natural air purifier. It helps when the home is closed up for months on end. Your tip to dry it out & add it to the worm bin is excellent. One of our neighbor's saw our outdoor compost & gave us his fall leaves & saw firsthand how all his leaves broke down along with the rest of our materials into a beautiful rich black earth soil. Awesome video! Enjoy the content.
I am 70 and was born with green fingers.
What you are doing is well thought through and is exactly perfect.
WELL DONE! l hope to meet you one day.
I click thumb before the video start.. happy gardening
👍🏼🙏🪱
Building a proper worm farm is definitely on the to do list of my farm! I will remember that technique you used on that pole the next time I need to put a piece of wood in the ground. Great video! It was very informative for me.
Great information , using dryed citrus as fire lighters., biochar and how a little bit will spread in a tennis court.
So many tips.
Sweet spot 37' for tiger worms.
You are a great teacher.
💥💪💥💪💥
Thanks Beanie 😊🙏
I've had a compost bin/storage tub for about two years now, i've severely neglected my worms most the time, only changing/ air rating the soil and putting a fresh layer of cardboard on the bottom only twice.
I'm so excited to start this as a new project. My worms have so many babies all the time too so it's much needed for the little guys.
You’re a dead set legend mate. Thank you
Infinite Blessings to YOU and Your Path!
✋🏻❤️🤚🏻
This is by far the most simplistic, and wonderful worm farming video I've come across. Now to find a bathtub. Shucks, after Ian I saw a couple, but had no one to help me pick them up. Fortunately where there is a will, there is a way! Jesus is Lord!
Up date! I was I. My daughter's back yard and low and behold a beautiful heavy tub so we traded water trough for tub. God is so good!!
Just found your sight excellent wonderful information. From the USA and recently started composting and helping the worms and my garden. Thank you so much.
Thanks Mark. Welcome to TWG channel
9:58 HAHA man you really had me going for a second. I thought I was about to learn something! 😁👌
Orange!
Was interesting to see the blood flowing through worm vein👍. Your comment about the whale made me think the sea is like soil, lots of facets that we don't really consider but they are similar.
A great detailed setup of an old bath. I thoroughly enjoyed your indepth instructions. Awesome macro view of your worms too.
Thank you, inspired to build a worm farm now. The one I bought is a little small for all the worms and food scraps now. Love the worm farm, great compost and liquid, can really notice the boost the plants get from them.
i learned so much, thanks for being my long lost nature parent.
I'm the "odd ball" of my typical American family, so I have to rely on channels like yours to teach me things to teach my future children, because I don't want to live the way my family does.
god please make a worm video number 2. i loved this one so much. just overflowing with great information and you deliver it in a warm and down-to-earth way. and like others have mentioned too, the filming and video editing is beautiful. thanks so much for sharing.
I did make a part two!!
@@TheWeedyGarden hahah rad!! i’ll go check it out. thanks mate
Thank you Weedy, you are a legend, I grew up as a shepherd - my parents farmed fresh veg, livestock and a home only dairy. So yes I learnt a lot... your journey is so beautiful - I am inspired to go back to farming - be it a 2x4 worm farm with a few sheep etc,,, start and let it grow as the universe sees fit - again thank you for sharing your journey
Enjoy all your videos, If I was closer Id love to come and visit. You are an inspiration. Thanks for the great content.
Glad you are appreciating it 👍🏼🎃
Multe multumiri si aprecieri din...beatuful Romania!
Your videos are like a meditation, just amazing. I love how you break everything down and give the little details in a fascinating way and your touches of humour. I cracked up when you switched the label to Blue, while building the layers. I actually stopped and thought why is the grass a blue layer?? 😂 before reading 'just kidding' Thanks for sharing your journey, it's inspiring.
Ha ha. That’s funny 🤪
Yeah that is the only time I've ever burst out laughing while watching a worm farm video!
Exactly how I felt, that this was a meditation on gardening! with new little challenges along the way. I'm hoping he's still posting radical content!
I LOVED learning about burning the post end(s) - now that's GREAT info!
Thank you for reigniting my child-like wonder. Your love for your gardening engineers is truly magnificent, magical and deeply respectful. Blessings to you.
🏆 You deserve an award for this video!
I have always wanted to have a worm farm for my yard. This is a great video on how to get the juice for the garden. It,s a good build. Love to see Ian not the only one who likes to go bare footed.
G'day David. Just caught up with your vermicast vid ... bit of medical time out..... As expected, an awesome educational master class in setting up Wormville. I have been worm farming for many years now, in a domestic home food garden set up. Like you, I have also learnt both the likes and dislikes of worm husbandry. One helpful hint, that has helped my worms over the extreme hot spells we experience in Melbourne over summer, is to freeze several 2 or 3 litre plastic milk bottles. Then I wrap them in several layers of newspaper and put them over the feeding zone, as well as the nesting zone to give them respite [DEADLY RESULTS!] from 40 C heat! I have 2 sets of bottles that I rotate from freezer to the worm farms each day of any heat wave! Unfortunately, long ago, I had lost complete colonies to the ravages of heat waves ...... but, haven't lost any since adopting this process! Cheers.

Thanks for letting us know about the onions and citrus. Great info. LOVE all your work.
I love you videos, not because it is all new information, but because it is visually engaging. Dad is a photographer too, so I grew up as an informal apprentice
Had to really laugh out loud when I read the "PLEASE DO NOT USE HOOKS" on the top bag! 11:40
Your garden is amazing, your photography is astounding. The combination is eye-candy that's good for the soul. Your spirit shows through. Thank you so much. I thoroughly enjoy!💙
Ditto!!!
Totally agree
well put!
Nice comment. Thanks for sharing 🙏
@@TheWeedyGarden Honestly, I'm kinda jealous on too many levels! 😁
Great video, thanks Weedy. Simple, creative and informative. Time to build my own wormville. Stumbled across you when looking for info on swales, been binging all morning with a coffee on this wet queensland morning🌧
Hi Weedy I just made a worm bin inspired by you and Geoff, it's made from an old water tank and I called mine Wormtropolis 🌅!👍🙏💚😁
lol
Wow. Du solltest eine eigene TV Sendung bekommen. Unglaublich. Kinder sollten in der Schule solche Aufklärungsfilme sehen und lernen. Super
At every given moment capturing the emotion…evocation, great expectations… you are creating, the weedy garden with lush rays of inspiration….
Kia ora Mr Weedy, thank you for your content. I am a long time
Gardener. Your camera work and editing is cleaver and beautiful. I have been chipping away on a shady seaside section for a few years. I take insperation from your work and delight in every new video.
just a side note at 4:00 I was extremely jealous that you were able to hammer steel posts so far into the ground with such a small hammer and hit no stones. I can't even get a foot down before i'm hitting some kind of boulder lol.
The soil here is pretty good
I love to hear your gentle voice. Life is far too loud. Thank you for sharing your information with us all.
Thankyou for saying so :-)
Unexpected and awe inspiring. First time viewer and subbed for who you are and what you are bringing to our world. Blessings. I agree with all the comments. Words really don't seem sufficient to convey what we receive from you. You are a rare soul and I hope your channel grows exponentially.
Thanks Weedy for yet another wonderful video. I really appreciate that you show the mistakes along the way and how to rectify them so that we can all learn along with you.
Thanks for that comment. Yeah, I think it makes my job a lot easier by just showing instead of trying to immitate a prof garden master. When I’m 100, I’ll start to say “I know”, but until then it’s “I show” 🙃✌️
Love the idea! Nice mixture. Beautiful view. Thanks for all.
Love your garden
This guy is the Bob Ross of gardening
Great job Weedy. Definitely the best and most in depth worm farm video I’ve seen so far. Thank you so much for the info!

You, Sir, are an inspiration. Grateful for your perspective
That was pretty cool! Thanks for the video. Nice drone shot of Wormville too!
This video of yours gave me the last push to initiate my wormbin that has been in my mind for the last few days now. Was still thinking of the complicated things that's why it got delayed further and further, but seeing your bin being a tub that gave me the push to just take it easy and followed your method. So I prepared a small bucket with alternate layers of greens and browns topped with cucumber, covered in paper and placed it under a shade. The worms looked more relaxed and at ease than being under black plastic seedling bag that was surrounded by free-range chickens. Thank you ❤️

What a wonderful treat this channel is; the talent with the camera is soothing.
The quality of your videos is absolutely waouw 👏👏👏👏
Beautiful video and beautiful umbrella. Love it
You are my favourite gardening RUclips channel now! It’s like watching a tv series. 😊🥰
😃 that’s great. Welcome to the channel. Look forward to Weedy The Movie...coming later this year 🎥💚
This is amazing. I've been wondering how to do the same for my garden. Now, let me look for an old bathtub!
Good worming
when i hear there is fly pass through the cam, i had a flashback memory, when i eating BBQ in Australia, there is ton of flies try to rob my food! XD
Nice video ! And really beautiful garden !
Hey Weedy,
Love the artistic value of your vids. As you were adding ingredients to the worm farm I was thinking that it would get quite hot so I was pleased to see you included that info & the changes you made towards the end. Looking forward to seeing more of your adventures 👍🏼
Yeah. I had a feeling it was going to happen, hence the delay in release
Worm farms rock 🌟 Your recipe is wonderful.
Thank you.
Great to see the progress of your weedy garden, I remember watching your first garden video - bravo 👏
Yeah. It´s getting there
Thanks Weedy. I'm about to set mine up and will follow your guide. I'm going to have a bath, terracotta tower in a raised bed and I purchased a subpod during lockdown and will get that going too. Love following your steps 💚
I’ll be coming with a new update on Friday, plus I’ll be holding a webinar in a few weeks to answer other questions with Andrew.
Very well produced! I'm impressed!
I literally love to watch your videos. You’re a genius. You are my inspiration to improve my home here in Brazil.
I see you and your enlightenment. Thanks for all.
That comment, and so many others like it, is why I keep going with it. Glad that it is appreciated. Thanks 😊🙏🪱
