Re:Castings Harvester - 2008/03/09 15:52 I have six beds that I need to replace the bedding in. They are 8 ft long each and I am tired of doing it by hand and wondered is there a harvester that works well?

Re:Castings Harvester - 2008/03/11 19:22 Check out the information found on the online site
the wormbin looking at their homepage and you will see quite an assortment of photographs of people and their bin and s harvesters and so forth.
Basically it takes one plastic pail with cover. Cut the pail and half so you have one part where the bottom one part with a removable cut 2 6 inch circles of plywood drill a hole in an and the center of each size to fit a piece of pipe, you might have on hand mount these pieces of wood using silicone rubber and drywall screws centered top and bottom on your plastic pail fastened some hardware cloth. Let's say 6 -- 12 inches wide, to get cut edges of the upper and lower pail. Hopefully you can see where I'm going with this unsnap the cover fill with warm bedding slide the pipe through support on your wheelbarrow or a trash bucket or whatever you can get it over rotate until you happy with the results and empty it taking out the worms that supposedly will be all a ball and continue. Let me know how it works out. I just designed this in my head. I don't see any reason why shouldn't work as long as you have two hands, which I don't. Good luck

You only need two tools in life - WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it
doesn't move and should, use the WD-40. If it shouldn’t move and does,
use the duct tape.
