Worm Bin

So I have had these bins now for over a year, it seemed like a good time to check in and see about harvesting the compost out of them.
I feed the worms about once a month, but you can probably do do it more often than that depending on how many you have, they will eat the waste in direct proportion to how densely population they are.

The compost is deemed black gold by garden enthusiasts and is rich mixture of worm castings and organic matter that I don’t even consider using as application for individual plants. I prefer to use the vermicompost for actively aerated compost tea which is a process I will cover once I’ve finished harvesting the compost. The worm compost is ideal for this process because it is rich in microbial life that nourishes the plants and provides them with the symbiotic relationship necessary to imilate nutrients from the soil and in turn, nourishing whomever consumes the plant.

Today, I took the contents from one bin and put them into the other, having emptied it and refilled the empty bin with bedding and new food scraps. This will attract the worms from the lower bin filled with the compost into the upper bin since they are hungry and I will be able to use the compost without worrying about the little wormies..

It is a good experiment for little kids, and is a fun and interesting way to get rid of your kitchen waste. At least for someone like me, I’m sure people can think of better hobbies.

How long will it take for my worms to reproduce (in the compost bin) and other related questions.?

I made a small compost bin and have maybe ten or so little red worms inside. There is a lid to keep the light out, and some airholes for air. Now, for the questions…

How long will it take for them to reproduce?
What is the average life expectancy?
What kinds of foods decompose quickest?
Should I put them in my room, the garage, or backyard?

Take a look at the link below…lots of info :)
