Yeti – sorry for the delay responding. For best results you will likely need to use some sort of rake to get most the castings down. Although, it will depends on the kind of worms you use. Someone told me they tried Africans, and found that the castings fell down TOO easily! lol

Kurt – there is still plenty of interest in the VB Series and I am still posting occasional updates re: my own VB48. Here is a link to the plans package page if you are interested:

So, I built something similar I believe to the VB48 without the plans, but from my own inventive intuition, but I have a few questions. My bin uses 1/2″ EMT inside of 3/4″ pvc spaced parallel at 3″ apart from each other at the bottom for castings to fall through.

My question is based in whether or not your bin requires you to tease the castings through the bottom or if eventually they fall through on their own?

My bin has been going for about a month and a half, and the worms are really doing work, and have populated it very well. We have red wrigglers and Euro night crawlers as well as random worms we find around the yard. Do I need to wait longer.

GREG – sorry for delay! The VB24 would definitely have more capacity for processing than Worm Inn. Considerably larger volume inside. I’ve never done a direct comparison though, so tough to offer any estimates.

ALLEN – that’s great! Don’t hesitate to drop me an email if you have any questions re: getting involved etc

Aloha Bentley,
I’ve been reading through your blog and ran across this section on the VB24. How would this compare ( consumptionwise ) with the Worm Inn that you over stuffed?
Mahalo,
Greg

How do I get a set of plans for the VB24 and VB48. I am fairly handy and wanting to do some worm composting. Looks like this is one of the best designs I have seen on the web.

BILL – the plans are available (have actually been for several months). Will soon be including additional info for those who would like to build the larger systems as well.
———–
DON – I haven’t asked Joe how his big system is doing recently (perhaps he’ll pop by and chime in at some point). I myself have not yet built my own VB24. The fall kinda got away from me there and I simply had too much on my plate. Have definite plans for building one (may even go with a VB48) sometime closer to spring. My friend John Duffy will be sharing updates from his own VB24 experience on the blog (I posted the first installment not too long ago), though, so you might want to keep your eyes peeled for those.
