I’ve read this article many years ago when I was researching composting worms (for personal interest) at the University of Winnipeg in their new computer lab featuring Windows 95! Up until then it was just the old monochrome terminal labs. Oooh! Pictures! Colours!

Neato! Thanks for bringing this article to the forefront once again.

Hi, It was an interesting read. I do agree that a deeper worm bin is much better. Mine are not 30 inches deep. Mine are 28 inches deep 8 foot long by 4 foot wide. We also have 1 8 x 4 x 18″ The deeper bin has a much more stable temp. both winter and summer. Yes the deeper bin holds
bucket loads more worms than the 18 inch bin. We have been using worms now for more than 10 years now. We use them both in our garden beds as well as our aquaponic systems.

We will try some of his ideas out over the next 6 months or so to see what happens.

We also spray the worm bins once a month with Lactobacillus Serum.
It is easy to make and makes a big difference. It helps break down food quicker and adds other needed elements to the worm menu.

Looking forward to some more feedback on this subject.

Thanks for the great website and all the information.

Best Regards and Warmest Wishes.

Barry and Fadia.
