- Big Worm Bin - Worm Compost Bin Made From Recycled IBC Tote vermicompost harvest, harvesting worm castings - worm composting
The continuation of my backyard composting videos, in this video i show you how to make backyard worm compost and how to harvest worm castings, and i mean loads of worm compost using an IBC tote worm bin to use as organic fertiliser in the garden in order to grow my vegetables. I also demonstrate my ingenious method of harvesting worm juice a great example of how to recycle an IBC tote.

That is massive and I am super jealous, great video.
Thanks very much for stopping by 😊
Thank you
That’s no doubt a big worm bin #awesome work!! 👍🏽
Thanks for watching 😊
Nice compost bin. To get the worms which remain in buckets after you've tipped to leave, just put them upside-down on the top of the compost and they'll make their own way out of the bucket and into the mass of composting materials.
Great suggestion thank you for that. Really honoured with your visit!
Lovely. one day I will have a small worm bin too. Compost will have to do for now. Because of all the wood chips I have plenty of mycelium so maybe I can get away without the leaf mold but...need ericaceous compost for the blueberries. So still may be worth making leaf mold. Generally though, I just chuck everything in my compost. Limited on space. Love that your children are in the garden with you. Nurturing more than just plants and soil.
Thank you very much, you've left such wonderful comments. I use Conifer trimmings to make the erracacious compost. Leaf mould can be a really good soil conditioner. I used to just chuck everything in one pile but as I started learning the different uses for different types of compost I adapted the way I compost. Thanks again
Nice Compost ! Thanks for the tips... ! 😊👍
Thank you so much. Did you get your seeds started?
@@MyFamilyGarden I did ... Half of them are doing fine ! 😊👍
Awesome video my friend thanks for sharing 😊 💕👍 👍
Thanks Joyce, really appreciate it
I have never raised worms. Great video
It would be good as bait. Thanks for watching
Another great video, loved watching it, so many worms 🤥👍
Thanks Jackie 😊
now that use of an ibc unit makes a lot of sense to me. if I was still able to work I could have got quite a few for the plot. unfortunately I cant even get any more pallet collar. a big thumbs up for the innovation, monty…………...brian
It took me a long time to get my IBC's I've got another that I use as a compost bin (storing manure at the moment) thank you Brian I really appreciate it
Awesome idea for a worm bin ! I have used a deep freeze in the past .
One of the chest freezers? That would work pretty well and the lid would save it from being waterlogged. Thanks mate
Nice video. Thanks for sharing.
Wow another superb video Thanks for sharing 😍👌🏼
Thank you so much for watching,😊
Mmmmmm worm juice
I love worm juice!!! Delicious!!! 😀😀😀
Awesome wormyness🌷🤗🌹
Thank you so much Joy, you amazing person
That is very nice compost system..Full view brother
Thank you so much
wanting to do this at some point!! thanks for sharing it
It's a really good way to dispose of household waste. Thanks for watching
Great idea you have gave me there matey and great worms you have there 😁
Cheers mate, I knew I could rely on you
Your videos every helpful
That is a lot of worms!
Thanks Bossy!!! Cup of worm tea?
Very interesting video new to your channel stopped by and left a burger on your grill
Looks great. Enjoyed the video thanks
Thanks Kit, I love composting
A lot of hard work there but beautiful reward!
Thanks Greta, managed to get some really nice castings will be looking for another harvest in a couple of month. Thanks for watching 😊
Hi I've started my compost bin from my garden waste and leaves from my garden trees. It's a long way off breaking down yet but it's starting. I only have room for one bin. I'm going to turn it every month. When it's drier and I can cut the grass, I'm going to add leaves and shred them with my mower together and make some quick compost for the garden. Your compost bin is great!
All those worms! I hope I can achieve something similar in time.
That sounds great slower compost is better if you can afford to take you time. With this bin I use it just for food scraps and let the worms break it down so I get lots of worm castings.
Looks like you have got a great compost process. You could start a worm farm
This is the 3rd type of compost that I make. If you like compost be sure to check out the others, thanks for watching 😊
My primary school used to have a worm bin
Cool video😁
I'm considering making a small worm bin out of a blue barrel (it's on my very long list of things that need doing!). Great video as always, I learned a lot, thank you 🌺
A blue barrel would be perfect for a worm bin, you can tap the bottom to collect all the juice. As always I appreciate your visit
This is an excellent worm composting system! Great idea and great information.
Thanks Rob for watching really appreciate it my friend
Great video, people underestimate the fungal components necessary for plant growth. Also, great family, my fondest memories are helping my dad in the garden even if I was just fetching tools.
Absolutely, there's a big push for quick compost and hot compost using the bacterial process which is good and important but sometimes they forget about the fungal side of things.
I share your memories, I remember running around my dad's allotment when I was young.
Really appreciate your visit
Good informative video
I LOVE your worm bin! LOTS of surface area 💚👍
Wow! Very cool, I just joined your family :)
This is great information about composting.. Please share the love thanks
awesome, more ideas to try, thanks for sharing, cant wait to see more
Great info. Good to know planning to restart. Mor research needed but this was a good start for me nice share.
This is surprisingly very cool!
I'm new and watching your videos. found you through just living.
That’s a big worm 🐛
Lots of juicy worms. I like it!
I've always wanted to make me a worm bin for compost/ fishing bait. I like yours.
Thanks mate really appreciate it
cool Keep up the good work
Thanks mate very much appreciate it
Fantastic castings haul! Many happy worms in your bin. We have one 5 gallon bucket with holes drilled in it buried in the garden. Planning to add a couple more. I’m able to bring home food scraps from my job as a cooking class assistance to feed our worms. I think vermicomposting is fascinating.
If you feed food scraps on one side of the bin all the worms will go there and you could just scoop out the finished side .maybe you should make it into a horizontal worm bin so it will be easier to harvest.
Thanks for the suggestion, that's how I tend to feed them, then a couple of time a year I do the big overhaul like in the video. Thanks for watching
Great video and thanks for sharing. I just press that bell to stay connected to you. I can’t wait to see more of your content. Well done.
Loving your Channel!!!!
That will really be great for fishing mate! Those would catch a lot of fish.
Hi. New frnd here to support u. Stay connected 😊
Followed ya
I can use these gardening tips! Here from Carters Eat!
Thanks so much
I wonder if it would be possible to raise it up and make a flow-through worm bin so you don't have to tip it all out regularly
It's a good Idea, it's sort of the way I've got it set up, flowing horizontal instead of vertical, but I normally give it one big clean at the start of the year.
Looking good! I like what you were saying about the leaf mold is about fungus and not nutrition. I was complaining recently about the amount of woody material left in my compost and it isn't really ideal for the small seeds I'm planting. However I was thinking that a little bit of woody material might promote fungal growth in my beds long term. I was delighted to see hyphea strands in places when I was replanting yesterday. Now that the tillage is minimal and only in the top two inches I think I will have the fungus among us.
Absolutely that's why I use so many wood chips in the garden it promotes the fungal growth. The bacterial growth will come from regular compost and compost teas etc. The fungal growth is often overlooked by so many.
Cool video mate you really know your stuff how would I start one of these if I don't already have the base with the worm casts in it just liked and subbed mate 👍
Use loads of cardboard to start off.. :)
Derek Frost thanks mate for the advice appreciate it 👍
OOOh, just had a thought, would it help to have the two bin edges at the same level then cap them with something like pip-lagging to stop leaves getting into the bottom bin? Or something to that effect anyway...just a thought. I have a similar system for my comfrey liquid. I gave up on making comfrey tea as the neighbours are not so tolerant of the smell. I found that NOT adding water at all was the trick. I have two of those black plastic buckets (that you get from the florist in a supermarket) one with holes in the bottom, other one no holes. The one without the holes has some stones in the bottom and the other with the holes inside on top of the small stones. I cram comfrey leaves inside and cover the lot with an old compost bag, leave for 3 months and pour out the liquid to a bottle to use as feed to dilute....no smells.
Nice idea I'll look into pipe lagging (and what it is lol) comfrey tea smells lovely, what are they complaining about? Lol. So you're making a concentrate that makes sense, you can use the old leaves as a feed by adding it to planting holes. Thanks again
Are those IBC's easy to come across in your area? I have access to those things for free, but they can sell for fifty dollars a piece in our area. How powerful is that worm juice/run off?
I found it quite hard to get hold of (for free, you can order second hand ones for £50-£100), one of my neighbours had a couple in his factory so let me have them for free. I think it's like rocket fuel, it's not just worm juice there's horse and chicken manure in the bin so it gets a lot of fire from that.
Excellent video! Thank you for taking time to explain what you do, how it works and how it benefits the garden. I was wondering what I should do with all my leaves.
So, I start me leaves this year and use them for next years garden? Would I turn this into the end of the soil this year or next year before I plant?
Thanks for watching, you can either add the leaves to your compost pile or out them in black bags and let them slowly decompose, which will encourage a lot of fungal life. You can then add it to the garden (it's a great soil conditioner) or use it as an ingredient in a seed starting mix.
Euhhh!!! Nope I’m good thanks :) but some seriously good compost material
I disliked this video....
....April fools!
I knew it was you... Lol.😀
