Re:looking to set up large worm bin - 2008/05/05 21:32
You can just make a large bin out of corragated tin like a small swimming pool about 3 ft. deep and 10 or 12 ft across. Put in some worms and slowly fill with food. Once you have an abundant supply of worms and the bin gets full just start another and let that one age for a while hatching off all the new worms. Keep it covered and the worms will stay around the top. You can start taking off the top layer of food with tons of worms and start another bin right beside that one. Just keep taking out worms off of the top and transplanting them into the new bed as they hatch off. The second one will go much quicker than the first with all the new worms from both beds working. The first one may take a year if you don't have many worms to start with. Once they get going you will be amazed at their reproduction rates. After the first one is done and you have hatched off all of the worms and removed them to new beds just dig it all out and start over.
