John’s Homemade Worm Harvester

Homemade Worm Harvester

After writing my post about Alan Bishop’s DIY worm harvester I received and email from John who had recently built something similar himself. He sent a long some pics and encouraged me to write about it on the ‘Share Board’. So here you go!

Here is John’s brief description of the system:

We used a 5 gallon bucket and some 1/4 inch screen & a Rubbermaid type tub. We
also added horizontal bars to act as beater bars to gently help the
process along.

Thanks again for sharing that John!

P.S. Apologies for the lull in blog postings - it has been a challenging week and a half, but things are looking up. I’ll be writing an update post (announcing upcoming projects/posts and revisiting some other stuff I let fall by the wayside) soon, so that should help to start getting things back up to speed around here.
:-)

That looks awesome! Would John consider posting instructions for this? And why did he go with screws instead of zip ties??

How does the turning of the harvester work?

Wow! I recently blogged about my plans to start a (homemade) worm bin and then found your site while researching how to actually do that. So much information! I will have to go back and add a link from that post to your site, if that’s okay?

I plan on making my own soon. I will be sure to take pictures and let you know if it is a success. My bins really need harvesting.
