Build a Worm Composting Bin
This one is an old article that helped build Wormman.com back in the 1990’s. Anyway, the instructions for composting with redworms are still good. 🙂

Two Redworms caught breeding in the bed on the Memorial Day! Party animals…or invertebrates! Why do I feel like the guy from TMZ who does the breaking celebrity news?
Anyway, I thought that it was cool. I was feeding a breeding bed when I caught these two going at it so I turned on my camera phone and they got shy, broke apart and slithered into the night.
Share your pictures of your breeding worms caught in the act here with us.
Worm farmers use machines to harvest worms on their farms, but that should not stop you from farming worms. Starting small, on a budget is the best way to start farming redworms. You can harvest your worms using the Sun or a bright light.
Red worms do not like bright lights and the burrow to get away from it. Just put the redworms in a big pile of bedding and put a 200 watt LED over them or put them outside and on a sunny day and you will be harvesting in no time.
The trick is to keep removing the top layer of bedding as the worms burrow. When you get to the bottom you will have a slithering mass of redworms ready to be shipped or put into a new bed.
Want to see the process in action? Check out our video. The camera was really awful but you will get a good idea about what I am trying to explain here.
Happy Worming!
