I'm trying to find some worm shifters the green round worm sisters
Good morning, Gaetano, from Windermere, Florida zone 9b USA 🇺🇸
I think those sifters are a great idea.
It's like pan-sifting for Gold!!! Black Gold 🪱🪱🪱
exactly, our gold is black :)
I just picked up my order of worms! Amazingly healthy! The next day I order worm castings 😅! I absolutely love the quality of the casting!
Moreover, it was great meeting Gaetano and seeing first hand his love for his worms and setup!
Quality service and products! You can’t beat that!
Thank You Tamala, it was great to meet with you and your lovely husband too. :)
Thank you for showing me how to do this. I have had worms for about 5 years and have just learned this method. Ugh!! So frustrating.
Good to hear you’re getting customers at your new location, Gaetano!
Thank You, a lot of people are switching their gardens fully organic and worms is the natural choise
Great demo and wow the worms look healthy. Now I'm even more excited for mine to arrive!
i can't wait that all my packages are safe in their new home
Those are some great sifters. Take care. 😎
Thanks, you too!
Interesting Gaetano, seem like a must have for small farms !! Definitely will look into it
Cheers Jason and Colleen 🌱🪱🌱
I really love those.pan sifter for quick jobs
It is funny. I just received my 1/8" pan today. I sifted about 6 lb of casting. I was so exited ( my first harvest)! I waited two weeks before sifting. It seems worked pretty good. Great video as always.
Yeah, glad that is worked for you
I use these myself and these rock!!
They are perfect for smaller batches
@@northeastworms Yes and they fit perfectly on a 5 gallon bucket. Since I'm a small farm guy I brew in a 5 gallon bucket, and can easily grab a handful of my worms and shake them haha My first time finding a cocoon you would of thought I was panning for gold
@@Bongwell420 I remember the first time I saw a cocoons 😅
@@northeastworms I work at Walmart and in the sporting good section the first I witnessed mine, I was zoning (making it pretty) and was playing through the worms we sell, almost saved it to take home but with mine being red wrigglers I put it back
Those pans look like they work great!! That was a lot of cocoons you were able to capture to throw back in your reproduction bins!! Great video and demo of the sifter pans!!🪱🪱🪱
I love those pans, they served me very well before I start to scale up
Two legands , two comments = learning
Awesomeness!!
a friend is a good job, I grow a worm in Russia a little differently, Like and subscribe
Thanks for watching
@@northeastworms please🤠✌🤝
I use those same sifters. Did you know that they fit into a 5 g pail and then you just have to rock the pail while you sit down. They were designed for gold sifting
Yes I know of course, I just prefere to sift in the the big tray, I found is faster.
those work on small scale but now I see why you have the huge trommel!!!
Can you image to sift 50 reproduction bins by hand with those sifters? impossible. I start with those sifters and they worked very weel but is normal that when you scale up you need proper equipment
They are hard on your shoulders if you have bone issues. Lol.
@@northeastworms That's craziness. Keep on growing and improving, brother!
I have the 1/8th sifter, the exact one you have there in the video and it doesn't catch the cocoons. What size screen is perfect for catching the cocoons? Because I have ordered like 5 already from ebay and Amazon and the sellers are lying about the screen size. So it's set me back quite alot. Can I get just a simple answer on what screen size will catch the cocoons but sift the Castings ?
1/8 is the perfect size. We use 1/8 also on our big commercial trommel. Sometimes, some smaller cocoons can pass through, but 99% will be catches
do you regularly sift your worm bin? if yes, every what time do you do it? every 2 weeks?
The reproduction bins every 3 weeks
Thanks for the Video.
How much should the moisture approximately be?
Around 70% should be fine
@@northeastworms Thanks for the answer. Do you mean 70% when we sift the worm compost? Is not too much?
@@HH-zb8yx not really, usually I don't like that the bedding with cocoons dry to much, cocoons needs moisture to survive, you do not want they dry
I find i lose too many cocoons with the 1/8. So i switched to 1/12. I have to let them dry a bit more but i save quit a bit of cocoons that way.
I have 1/12 too but did not work very well for me because I don't have the time to wait that the bedding dry at the point to pass trough 1/12, but I always say: "have to work for you". Each of us need to find the sweet spot to work better and in the way that we are happy with what we are doing :)
@@northeastworms absolutely. My goal at the moment is to increase my population exponentially as fast as i can. So once i achieve that it will change I am sure. Lol.
I change way how I do stuff practically every day LOL
@@northeastworms lol. Yea its a learning process. Thats for sure.
I am having the same issue so I just bought the same 1/12. It's good to see someone having success with something you're about to try yourself. So thanks for your comment
Grazie Gaetano. È lo stesso mio procedimento, ma vedo che hai lo stesso problema, il materiale deve asciugare parecchio per passare il setaccio piccolo.
Io uso un cestino della carta metallico che faccio ruotare poggiandolo su una base con ruote motorizzate da un trapano avvitatore.
Ho preso spunto dai miscelatori dei barattoli del colore che usano i pittori, e me lo sono costruito. Si fatica meno 😄
Belissima idea. Per usare questi setacci il materiale deve essere decisamente piu asciutto
its a wonder the worms dont pass out with all that shakin a goin on!
LOL they are doing very well :)

Looks like your panning for gold
Yes, black gold

אני ועוד חברים בעלי גינות מוגדלים ירקות לבית ולשכנים. אנחנו צופים בערוץ שלך ולא כולם מבינים אנגלית טוב.
רצינו לבקש ממך אם תוכל בבקשה להוסיף תרגום בעברית כדי שכולנו נבין טוב יותר.
