I Had a Dream…<\/p>\n

For many years I day-dreamed about the sort of “ultimate” home-scale vermicomposting bin that I would love to own and use. I was inspired by the large-scale “flow-through reactors” used by industry pros. It was clear that these were the best of the best in the world of vermicomposting. The problem, of course, is that these systems are very large (and very expensive). Not ideal for the average home-owner like me.<\/p>\n

I thought of various ways to construct a much more compact version of this type of bed. But the sad truth is I’m “all thumbs”. Even if I had<\/em> been able to create a workable design, my chances of actually building it would have been slim to none. Teaming up with a skilled DIYer seemed like the next logical step, but I just couldn’t seem to connect with anyone who had a real interest in my vision! Multiple promising starts ended up fizzling out over time.<\/p>\n

And Then I Met Joe…<\/p>\n

Joe Denial is what you might call a “Jack-of-all-Trades”. Originally trained (and employed) as a technical illustrator, he ended up in graphic design & advertising, before settling on home remodeling as his chosen career. Somewhere along the way he also happened to develop an interest in vermicomposting.<\/p>\n

Back in the spring of 2011, Joe ordered a bunch of worms and sent me friendly emails to share what he was doing. One of his early projects involved the construction of a large flow-through vermicomposting bed – what would eventually become known as the “VermBin96”. Just for kicks and giggles, he decided to create some diagrams, take some photos and then send me a PDF copy to see what I thought.<\/p>\n

When I saw Joe had done I was completely<\/em> floored! If anyone could help me bring my “ultimate” bin to fruition, this was the guy! I immediately asked Joe if he had an interest in teaming up. Thankfully he said yes and, well, here we are! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

The VermBin24 was Born!<\/p>\n

The VermBin24 (VB24) is a single-compartment, flow-through bin designed for those who want to experience the joys of truly effective<\/em> vermicomposting, without the need to buy or build a professional system.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s small enough to fit in a wide range of indoor or outdoor locations, but still larger than most typical “worm bins”. So it offers serious waste processing potential.<\/p>\n

I knew Joe was good, but he completely<\/em> exceeded my expectations by creating a set of plans that are laid out in a clear, easy to follow manner, and a beautiful flow-through bin that doesn’t require professional building skills (or many hundreds of dollars) to construct!<\/p>\n

The feedback we’ve received already has been amazing! One of our customers, Neal (“from Maryland”), was so pumped up about his VB24 building experience that he even decided to document the process and create a photo-journal that could be shared with fellow VermBin plan owners! (Now available for download in the member’s area)<\/p>\n

Flow-through systems help to optimize the vermicomposting process largely due to the excellent air flow. The result – faster creation of castings.<\/p>\n

As new materials are added over time the worms continue to migrate upwards, away from their own wastes. Castings are removed from the bottom. Easy peasy.<\/p>\n

Unlike the sludge often found in bottom of regular worm bins, the vermicompost in decent flow-through systems is properly stabilized (more oxygen = more effective process).<\/p>\n

Worms aren’t forced to live in their own (often anaerobic) wastes. They can continue moving upwards towards the best feeding zones and zones with higher oxygen levels.<\/p>\n

No more dealing with different trays, or dealing with time-consuming and messy “dump and sort” operations. Add wastes up top, then harvest worm castings from the bottom (once ready).<\/p>\n
