Where can I go to watch it. I'm very interested in starting a apartment size bin, and I'm getting all my info together. I love your blog. it is so informative and I like the getting started video. I'm trying to figure how to make the stacked system but really small, my kitchen is only like 7x7 and a little space under the since. And I regularly get dumpster flies invading and the occasional neighborly cockroach, so I need to know everything about keeping it non smelly and tight, and how to do everything. I have a small container garden in front, so worm casting would be great, plus I feel bad throwing away veggie scraps cause I can't compost. (besides I suck at regular composting, i hope this is easier) I'm reading all the comments and your great personalize answers. WOW. I feel more confident from reading your pages than from all the other websites I've browsed. I just signed up for the journal. I look forward to reading up. If I actually get off my duff and do this I will write back about it. Um, sorry for rambling. I want to watch your video. Thanks. Um, the video no longer works. Where can I go to watch it.

I couldn't find any adults left up above when I looked today. B: I was actually pretty amazed by how many there were. I knew there were lots of worms near the surface - they've been congregating up there and consuming wastes very quickly - but I had no idea there were so many all the way through the material. I even found a LOT of worms right down at the bottom where conditions were getting fairly anaerobic. C: Yeah, I try to be as careful as possible when using a trowel - I usually try to slide it down along the wall then leverage material up. I don't use my hands too much - easier to clean a trowel than try and dig vermicompost out from under my fingernails! :lol: D: Great question. The material that was placed over top of the garbage bag is actually still there - I wanted to make sure all the worms moved down into the new bin. Not 100% sure what I'm going to do with that material - I may add it to another worm bin to see if the worms will process it further. The material/worms that was still left in the old bin has simply become starter stock for a new system (I've started adding new bedding and waste materials to that bin again). Thanks Gary! Hey Gary

I did it outside, using sunlight & ended up having to 'herd' the worms to the holes. It never occurred to me to just let them do it on their own. B: I've NEVER had that many worms in my 'finished' bin. Don't know what that means. C: You use a trowel. I ALWAYS use my hands. hmmmm D: What did you do with what wasn't quite done? Keep on keeping on... Love your site. gary A: I’ve tried this worm harvesting method but evidently did it way too fast.
