My beautiful worm farmer and I have got the VB24 and built it only we added on to it its now 6ft long. We put in the false bottom and added the bedding. We had two plastic bens the two combined have1200 red wigglers .We added both beens including the contents of 1and a half month old.The worms moved into the bedding,we kept a light on for two nights with no sighn of worms outside of the bedding. Its now been two weeks ,the worms are thriveing, we have an arrea of noting but cardbord and an area where we have added food ,they both seem to have healthy worms . We had som canalope and the seeds are sprouting all over. Temp is an average of 65-70 we have noticed worm eggs assumeing some came from the the plastic ben. We have it in our hallway at this time ,with no complants on odders. Thanks for all the great information

Thomas,

I interpreted it as being 150lbs per wheel. Otherwise, each wheel would have a load rating of less than 40lbs/wheel which is quite low. Plus, usually load ratings are given per wheel, not per set.

I used wheels which each had a 150lb load rating and I’m quite pleased with them.

Here’s an example:

Happy building!

The four wheels rated at 150 lb is that per wheel or for all four wheels on the Verm Bin24

Thanks, Paul. The VB has been up and running for about 2 weeks now and the worms are thriving.

After buying the Verm Bin24 and studding the plan’s I am wondering if all that lumber is
Required if you not using the Former Board the four 42” length of lumber can be screw on to the plywood with the two 21” pieces screwing to the front inside and back inside of the ½” ply
This will reduce the price and weights’ of it

Thomas – the bottom has a series of bars. Compost can be scraped out from the bottom (once it is ready for harvest) in a variety of different ways.
