Anyone else doing any vermicomposting?
Got a setup about 2 months ago, and 10dz worms to get started.
This is a bin I keep inside in the basement, for steady temps, etc.
So far so good. Building the population up and feeding them a good bit every 3-4 days. Seems ok so far. Probably won’t have my first casting harvest for another 4 months, but knew it was a waiting game when first starting.
Lotta plant trimmings, apples, pears, banana peels, egg shells, etc. All diced up fairly fine, so they can break it down a little quicker.
It’s about 2ft square and 3ft tall, give or take.
Top zips closed, collect castings from the bottom port.
Using this as an input for the top dress I put on top of the soil at certain times (after harvest/before new plants, and middle of growth cycle) which is a mix of worm castings, compost, potting mix, rice hulls, and nutrient components identified by soil tests.
