Home Made Worm Farm

 Hi Everyone,

Just curious if anyone here has made their own worm farm and if you did what
did you use to make it. I currently have the Reln Can o worms but I've had
the inlaws move in with us so it looks like i'll need to expand my system
for the influx of vegies and dog poo that are going to be around.

cheers

For a minute there, I thought you were going to feed the outlaws to the
worms!

G'day Luke,


I've had compost bins for many years and in the last 12 months have been
experimenting with commercially bought worm farms.

Dog poo has little value in a compost bin and medicines fed to dogs
can kill worms in a worm farm so dog poo is best sent to the garbage bin.

Reln Can o worms I'm not familiar with so please supply further info.

Normally with a compost bin when you cut the lawn you empty the cuttings
straight into the compost bin. If you are starting up a worm farm inside a
compost bin be advised the heat of the new material could kill the existing
worms, so the new material should first reside in a different container for
at least 2 weeks before adding to your worm farm.

Other things to consider, compost bins are often setup in full sun which
would be to hot for a worm farm.

Hope that gives you something to think about,
Erik.  

 Thanks Erik,

I'm simply after an idea of how to build my own worm farm eg what have
people in Australia used. I've had my worm farm for a while now and know
what should and should not be put in one, (btw my worms love my dog poo). I
was just hoping someone here had a design they've implemented either using a
old petrol drum or something similar. I'm not interested in puchasing
another worm farm as I'm sure I could use scrap materials to build something
similar. FYI go to www.reln.com.au for information on the Can O Worms worm
farm.
