Maze Worm Farm Review Thumbs up YES OR NO?

- I have been using the Maze Worm farm for well over four months now and a review was well overdue.
I actually really like this little farm as it's not heavy, it houses the worms well, makes liquid and castings.
Yes, it even recycles a bit of waste, but not that much as it's quite small.
However, I think the Maze company is onto something as far as style goes.
It's a real stylish unit and looks great.
I highly recommend it to those looking for a smaller stylish unit that lives in a small space. If you're after castings and worm wee it provides enough to raise seedlings and pot up plants.
If you are interested in worm farming I have plenty of videos for you to learn from on my channel here.
I also teach small space gardening, sustainable vegetable garden and run a small micro-farm from home which is in my vlogs.

Happy Gardening & Stay Safe

Great tray of castings Marty. Ive a Maze tumbler turned into a worm farm too. It's going really well. One side is now soft and earthy and broken right down but no castings yet.. Ill wait another couple of weeks to see if they turn i to it. Great camer work Karin .
That's so cool. I found it's best to let the compost tumbler go a little longer than a worm farm to get the best results. Then take out two thirds and leave a third as bedding...they power on like this
I just bought my first Maze, thanks for showing me how it goes! You're doing a great service there. A pleasure to watch 👍
Thanks for this video Marty. You explained the system really well. I’ve just got mine, and excited to see how it goes!
Glad it was helpful!
Love music and your video. Thank you
Thanks so much for feedback An, I really appreciate it
Thank u so much, really informative.
Glad it was helpful!😀
So helpful, thanks for the vid!
No problem!😀
Excellent video and editing. Well done!
Thank you very much!
Thanks Marty, we,ve just taken possession of our Worm Farm. About to assemble it now. Cheers 👍
Fantastic!
Nice video , thank you
Thank you too
I couldn't help noticing the fishing poles ,do much?
I enjoyed your chat . Keep it up my friend.
I would like to do more fishing my friend hehe, I probably surf more in my spare time. However, I really like chasing flathead!
Great video Marty!!
Glad you enjoyed it
We definitely need to make one of these- for our farm plus we live close to Lake Ontario here in New York
Always a good idea to have worms working for you
With the size of that bin, you would only need about 250 adults. I use 250 in my bins. In 8 weeks, they laid over 500 cocoons and the material was fully processed.
500 is a good number with two tiers
Just found your channel and think I will get a lot of great info from you. I was doing research about worth fairs so I am definitely getting one now. Hubby and I are about to move into a tiny house in the suburbs, and am planning to have a vegetable garden, so I would love to hear about growing veggies on a small plot here in Australia. Greetings from Perth
Hi Jazzie, I do have lots of small space veggie gardening on this channel. At the moment I am teaching mostly worm farming as that is the best way to produce all the free fertiliser needed. Do a search on my channel about microgreens and baby leaf and you will be blown away by what you find.😀
Hi Marty, Big Thumbs 👍 Up,
This is an oldie from your list.
Good lesson and good music 🎶
Many thanks. Yes I have a ton of videos on this channel. Thanks so much for watching them! 😀
Marty, those worm farms are nice looking.
the most stylish for sure Micky
great video Marty, I've been thinking about a worm farm for a while, and think the smaller size would be good to get my hands dirty, so to speak! Will look through your other vids for setup and looking after, thanks so much!!
Your welcome, thanks for watching and the support
That is a real good batch of worm goodness you have going there Marty. I have a bit from a far smaller scale operation to offer to a few of the soon to be planted peppers and tomatoes. Gotta say also that Karin is developing some awesome camera skills too. Happy Gardening! -Bob...
Hi Bob,,Karin said thanks for comment
nice video marty❤ I give u big big thumbs up to u👍😊
Thanks, just what I needed!
❤
To you too!
Loved my Worm farm so much, bought a 2nd one.
Nice one, so you have two Maze farms now?
@@martysgarden I have 4 Maze farms now! Love that they're light and I can move them around. Ive brought them inside for the summer months. ( Melbourne ) They're safe in my laundry! :)
Thumbs up from me, Marty. :)
Thanks so much my friend!
The market for Maze worm farms looks like it’s for people living in units or other small spaces. The farm looks stylish and tidy. Similar to those airless composting system with the Japanese name starting with K.
Yes. it's more for apartments and small spaces, it's not a bad farm actually Karl.
Just found your channel and subscribed. I'm thinking of buying or making a worm farm, I saw this one in Bunnings and wondered if it's any good. I used to have one of the big, rectangular ones, years ago. How do you separate the worms from the castings?...and how much food can you put in? With the bigger farm, I remember that with 3 tiers, the worms would all end up at the middle or top, so it was easy to use the castings, but I don't have much room now, and it gets very hot here in WA, that was the problem with the farm I had years ago, it was difficult keeping it cool in summer, even in the shade. Also, do you recommend buying the conditioner?
Hi Jen,,all those questions you can find in my course Starting A Worm Farm A Beginners Guide which is being rolled out in the level 3 Worm Wranglers membership. All you need to know is in there,,you can chose from the playlist which videos or watch all of them ruclips.net/channel/UCnPkv-JUX4Pqn_LYbykzAtwjoin
And yes I recommend the conditioner, or just using Dolomite.😀
Have a lovely day
Marty
Hi Marty, great video you have here mate. Your video made me get one of this good looking worm bin. I had one for a week now. But just wanted to know, if you need to water them at all - if you do how often? Cheers. Looking forward for more insightfull content.
Just keep the bedding moist, so when you grip the bedding a few drops come out. 😀😀 and water now and then to give it a flush.
Hi & thanks for the great review. Question, how do you separate the worms from the castings and other material so you can use it in your planting beds? (Was told I shouldn't release the red wigglers worms into my local environment
Hi Tracey, sorry for the late reply. I have that content available in my masterclass which expires soon,,closing it down in November. It cover everything about worm farming and has a lot of content on harvesting worms and castings. www.martysgarden.com.au/isikyrkx Have a nice day
Marty
Great video! Thanks. How do you separate the worms out after you empty the tray?
I teach that in the members area on my channel thanks. You will find the link in description of my latest video
Awesome video, we just ordered one of these. I’d love to know the best way to start it up. We have two tiers and a hessian bag coming with it, what do we do to get it going? We juice a lot of fresh veggies so got plenty of that left over daily.
I have a full masterclass here that will teach you all you need to know www.martysgarden.com.au/isikyrkx save you a lot of time and future problems. Cheers Marty
I have one Vermi composter and definitely have an issue with 3 years on that the trays get stuck together and I struggle to get them out, still a very productive farm and my 30 worms have been multiplying gradually but definitely would love to give one of those a try if you could provide a link
Just do a Google search Maze worm farm. I didn't put a link as I am not affiliated with the product. I hope to possibly be in the future, but that's still in discussion with Maze.
Thank you for this, it was very helpful. I've been reading a lot about worms trying to escape the different worm farms. Is there a concern with worms escaping this one from the bottom, since the bottom is just a tray with holes? I'm trying to decide which one to buy.
They pretty much can escape from any farm as they all have ways for water to leave, which is needed.
Hey Marty. Great video, thanks. I have just taken delivery of my first Maze worm farm and can't wait to get started.
One question though please. While the lid and top 2 worm trays fit snugly, the base seems to be about 2mm too wide. I can clearly see through to the green tray worm catcher.
My worry is that the worms will be able to escape, but also that the rain will simply pour in and fill the liquid catcher!
Is the base meant to be slightly wider for a reason that you know of please?
Many thanks, MB
Should be a tight fit Mathew, mine are. All the best with the worm farming into 2022
Hi enjoy your videos. How do you remove the worms from the castings please
Hi Kate, Thanks for the feedback! I actually teach the full method in the level 3 Worm Wranglers members area in the course Starting A Worm Farm A Beginners Guide. Check it out here ruclips.net/p/UUMOnPkv-JUX4Pqn_LYbykzAtw Happy Worm Farming Marty😀
Marty I got a question: for the bottom tier I covered the bottom w 2 sheets of newspaper. Was a suppose to do that?
Yes, at the bottom of the tray is a good idea to cover with newspaper or cardboard at the start. Have you subscribed yet Billbo? I am working hard to build my subscriber base to keep this channel alive..have an awesome day.
@@martysgarden yes I subscribed to your channel.
I also bought one, do you need to prepare new bedding after you harvest the worm cast?
Yes, you do. I have a worm farming course inside this channel that helps with all that. It's called Starting A Worm Farm A Beginners Guide and can be found inside the Worm Wrangler member areas. Great time save as you can learn all you need to know in your own time Take a look here ruclips.net/channel/UCnPkv-JUX4Pqn_LYbykzAtwjoin
Happy worm farming😀
Marty
ps: There is a live show each Saturday at 10am Sydney Australia time each weekend.
Hi mate, first time worm farmer here.
my worm farm is in a great spot in the garden, not too hot has great airflow, plenty of food and nice and moist.
My question is, how do you stop the maggots?
I have a lot of maggots in it some are the size of a 10c coin?
Do i leave them or start again or is it fine?
Cheers.
I have full tutorials all about this in the Worm Wrangler members area which has everything you need and a lot more for only $15 it's a bargain,,this way your farm will run smoothly and be super productive. ruclips.net/channel/UCnPkv-JUX4Pqn_LYbykzAtwjoin
You also get Starting Organic Seedlings A Beginners Guide in there too.
Cheers'
Great video Marty!! I just ordered some worms from a lady online should be here soon. Will they be fine if I put them in my existing compost bin? I keep it inside and the compost doesn’t get too hot
Yes, they will..you can add a little bit of bedding to the system that will help. If there is already aged compost at the base it should be fine.
martysgarden perfect, thanks for all your help Marty 🙏🏼
🙏🙏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Harrison,,,awesome!!!
I’ve been thinking of moving my work farm into my garage. Anything I should be thinking about when having worms in the garage?
Fluctuating temperatures
@@martysgarden what about a basement in Michigan, United State?
I started a mini farm as a test and so far the little guys are alive and well! I am just scared for winter hahaha
If the worm farm sits in the corner of the garden , do you need the drip tray or hose, or can you just let it drip into the garden?
Just drip into the garden is fine
You say that it comes with the wooden legs, where did you get the plastic legs for it?
They gave them to me from Maze
I had no idea worms made cocoons.
Yes and they have multiple babies too which we call Wisps😀
do you have problems with horse manure if the horses have been wormed?
Yes, it needs to sit for a while, or composted to dispel it. There is a video on my channel about it Terry
I always wait at least 6 months to a year because I want dewormer and any seed to die before adding it to any of my warm bin or garden. I can tell that my boyfriend add horse poop to one of my garden areas. He didn't realize that the horse poop had grass seed in it. Also it burn some of my vegetables up. I can't seem to get rid of grass. But like I see above, it better to let it set out and compost.
Can you add more than 2 tiers, or is that not worth doing? I've never used worm farms but it could be a good addition to our current smallish yard/garden. I'd like to be able to sell worms, "worm juice", and maybe even worms
You can add more tiers, but to start selling I would look at a different set up, something larger
@@martysgarden that's what I assumed may be the case. I'm still in the early stages of creating our garden (new home) but planning for future possibilities too. Thanks for taking the time to reply to my comments 🙂
Hi! i need some help if you can, I had African night crawlers in here and they all escaped, did i put it together wrong? How could this happen :(
They do like to travel African Night Crawlers actually need a bigger farm than the Maze one I find. Maybe consider becoming a Worm Wrangler and doing the courses there. Cheers Marty 😀
How's Gertie the magpie Hunter goin .
12 out of 10 again. Marty
She is doing great, been a bit quiet on open front the last couple of days. I am sure it's not over yet though hehe
Do you own a Maze worm farm or considering buying one?
Loving your videos!!
Thinking about getting one this week. Had conflicting answers regarding how much food scraps you can put in once the worms have settled and how often? Any advice at all?
Just bought one on Amazon. Waiting for it in the mail now! Can't wait. Thanks for the video.
Every time I go check on mine I can never find any worms. Are they dying?
Possibly I can't really say without looking. You should do the Worm Wranglers course Starting A Worm Farm A Beginners Guide in the level 3 section. Costs less than a pizza and you will never have problems again Laura. everything you need to know is in there😀
How do you get all the worms out?
I teach that over at my course www.martysgarden.com.au/isikyrkx has all you need to know and more
Marty, does anyone ever tell you to go and eat worms, hahahaha.
I remember trying one as a kid,,not good,,yuck
I’d strongly not recommend eating animals like this, especially raw. I know of one young man who ate a snail because his drunken friends dared him to. The snail was contaminated by a parasite that was passed onto him. Five years later he was dead after his body gave up the fight against the infection.
whats happens when the worms want to occupy the lowest level and travel down instead of up into the next layer
Hi Stephen, everything you need to know is in my worm farming course members area here in my channel or in my Ebook Starting Starting a Worm Farm a Beginners Guide. You can access the Ebook here instantly www.buymeacoffee.com/martysgarden Thanks Marty 😀
Thanks Marty and Karin great video as usual : )
I'm hopeless at links but check out the laughing lion on youtube it will brighten your day. Angela X
Thanks Angela, will a take a look later
So do the worms go downstairs to poo ?
On the surface, but the castings are heavy so sink down to the base
At first glance, it looks like a printer/copier in your office.
Really, wow,,never thought of that!😀
