Hi Gaetano, I've seen this bioreactor done before and I never thought about having one to help compost foods before you feed it to the Worms 🪱 Very smart and you are growing strong healthy Worms 🪱 Take care, My Friend 🪱❤️🪱
We're going to learn a ton from this Gaetano!! Stoked you're trying it. Gonna be lots of challenges, but it'll be great to learn from it. Are you going to monitor temperatures? Agree that nitrogen will be the biggest challenge, especially as you want the finished so fast. Awesomeness!! Cheers J&C 🌱🤞🌱
I will ask for suggestions because you are the "compost master" 😀. Btw it will be a nice challenges, if it works I resolved a bunch of problems. Yes, I will monitor the temperature, of course, but for what I understand, the temperature will go up for a while, and after down, and that's it. For this reason, this system is longer to break down the materials compared to the traditional pile
@Northeast Worms lol thanks Gaetano. You are absolutely correct on the "heat bell curve." But I think your reactor will act differently possibly, especially if you use as a "flow through".
I liked the vid! Would pumping air into the tubes help the process? Also the little green wood shipper you have, does that do well with cardboard shredding?
I don't think so because after 2 days, you take the tubes out, and you will have 5 air entrance points inside the pile + all around . This shredder unfortunately do not work well with cardboard . Here how I shred cardboard. ruclips.net/video/PCUkAA0VXWU/видео.html
That they have at Taronga Zoo in Sydney Australia due to EPA. 24 Hours to complete whole process into compost. In Melbourne Australia, there’s a Laneways of restraints cafes etc all waste is collected in a program ran by Council to reduce waste using anaerobic composting. It’s a trial.
I am not done with the vid yet but guessing if this reactor works, you won’t need to buy as much(or any?) peat moss? I see the huge stack in the back of peat moss. Mind me asking how much those bales are shipped in your region?
This compost that I am making is for the big 50' bin. They eat a lot, and they are a lot of worms. The purpose of this bin is to give me as much worm casting as possible. My reproduction bins are fed "ONLY" worm chow.

Thank you very much 😊
*Nice work, liked it! 👍*
Thanks a lot!
@@northeastworms *if u want check my videos*
I will
This looks like a great idea. 👍
Please do updates on this I am very interested. Thank you!
I surely will do. I just made a new playlist on this bioreactor to.follpw the journey
I look forward to seeing how it works - seems like a cool device 👍🏻
O will fill this out hopefully next week
I’m going to try that myself great video 🇳🇿
Please do and share the results
I think you made a wise decision
Thank you 😊
Sweet I have been waiting for this video. Question. Where do the drips go? Will there be a tray to catch it?

@@northeastworms ah I didn’t know the tubes come out, very interesting.
@@EricsWormPlayground I mention this in the video, after 2/3 days you take the pipes out
@@northeastworms sorry I missed that! I remember you pulling on the string, but didn’t connect the why. :). My bad, brother.
No problem of course:)
: Is it better to feed compost, or just food scraps?
You can feed both. Compost Is just ready available for the worms
Yes the 24 hour composter works either by chemical or by heat depending on the version, but yes expensive.
The one I saw works by heat and cost $15K + shipping, crazy
@@northeastworms does it compost it? Or does it basically bake it down with high heat? What’s the name of that product?
It is called "anaerobic compost digester." If you google you find a lot of information about

I buy those from the distributor that is not far from my shop. Buying a pallet and picking myself, I save a bunch of money.
@@northeastworms cheaper than local big box stores that way?
So do you plan on only feeding compost to your worms and may be a little worm chow?
This compost that I am making is for the big 50' bin. They eat a lot, and they are a lot of worms. The purpose of this bin is to give me as much worm casting as possible. My reproduction bins are fed "ONLY" worm chow.
Oh very nice thank you!
I forgot to ask, what will you be filling up the reactor with?
I have a bunch of shredded leaves as carbon and kitchen scraps, alfalfa amd horse manire as nitrogen.
@@northeastworms those worms will love that. Great vid, thanks for the replies!
