Another exciting day after my Silhouette Cameo 4 delivery on Friday.
This Worm farm/ Composting bin got delivered on Saturday,
built right here on Macleay Island by our garden guru Len
Its made of all recycled material. On the right is the worm farm with a lid on it, I see a platform underneath to put a liquid catching receptacle.
This is the worm farm area opened up, I have no idea what the plastic bowl with handle is for,
will ask Len when I next see him.
The blue roll on the left is to channel the compost into the bin on the other side, like a funnel. Clever man this Len is to think of everything and build it.
This is the section where the compost is ready to be used in the garden, it will be dropped out of the drum above in the middle after being 'cooked' in there.
The pipe is to let water in to make the nice mulch.
Air vent for the composting bin, the bin is put on wheels so I can turn it around easily.
This is my first worm farm that Len made for me and I've had for a year now. Its not doing good, or not fast enough and I know now I have to put cow poo in it to get worm poo hahaha.
My fancy collection point
The lid opens up so I can feed it and I put shredded paper and dry leaves to keep it cool.
Can you see that healthy black worm casting under the leaves and lettuce?
I add the dried leaves on top and spray them with water to keep it cool
I use this pump action water bottle to water my worms
I have a worm farm, and have never used cow poo... it just keeps going. Your verimcast looks 'nicer' than mine, but as long as works :-) My worms are lucky if I remember to hose them while I am watering the garden - yours really do live in luxury. It is cold enough here in the winter that I put them under cover, and then I really do have to remember to toss in some water!

I forget to even feed them sometimes, luckily they eat very slowly hahaha
