At a company I used to work for, we had meeting after meeting about working "waist high". It doesn't matter what size your operation is, or how old you are... It is always more efficient, productive, and SAFE to have your work "waist high", so you can stand up straight and reach everything easily. I am so glad to see you moving in that direction at Meme's Worms.
I think if you bought a bunch of used plastic fruit bins like that one in your video and stack them up, the make devices that dump the bin out so you could sort or sift them. You could even use a hopper feeder to feed the trommel to allow you less manual labor. Im developing my own worm business and i hope to someday grow to your size of operation. Im also a former customer and had a great experience doing business with you.
You mention breeder bins in addition tot he new big bins, are you trying to make more castings to sell? Or are you filling the large new bins from the breeders to grow the worms out for sale? thanks for the video and information!
The price of wood is high. For me to try this seems costly. I am just trying to find a solution to high cost. Land is also expensive where I live. I hope this works out for you. I will be 60 this year so I understand and agree with your goal. I’m just not sure about the cost. I am located in San Diego California. Good luck and I will be rooting for you and your family.
@@MemesWormsyou could try white washing them the old fashioned way, like they used to in barns for livestock (still do in a lot of places)- it will create a barrier that is safe for the worms. I made my own before with just lime, salt, and water, there are different recipes…
wouldn't it be cheaper and easier to build platforms or slated tables and set the fabric bins on top? i totally get it about bins on the floor...too old for that.

Eagerly awaited updates. I’m disabled and have been trying to figure out an easier way to do this.
Is it your plan to use the wedge method or will the new wooden elevated bins be CFT?
Just boxed beds
perfection Meme
Do you have concerns about the wood rotting out over time? Will you line them with something?
Im sure it will rot at some point. No im not lining it
How will you harvest castings from the bins?
Scoop out
@@MemesWorms could they hinge one side to make that easier?
Not the way we have them built. I'm not sure it would be any easier either.
How do you get castings out of the boxes?
@paulnovak833 with a scoop

Great. What’s the dimensions on your new raised wooden beds?
almost 4x8 about 14in deep

we thought about that but we would have to completely tear down the structure that is already there.
