There are many types of containers worm is both to buy and build. This article step-by-step instructions to create a flow-through worm have to rely on a limited budget. Flow-through means that the worms migrate upwards to the most kitchen waste, you can collect the humus from the bottom, not eating a lot more with the Wiggler. These types of compounds are for sissies, but also useful for those of us who happen to our lovekids. Can flow through a simple collection bin worm, good drainage and a relatively good pest control. Here's how.
What you need:
Rubbermaid bin with lid type opaque (not transparent)
2 feet of window screening material (DIY)
6-8 meters of nylon rope
Box cutter
Drill with a bit about the same size of the string
1 turns coconut coir or peat, some
4 paper bags of food
Stapler or glue adhesive plastic
1 The firstStep in the construction of a flow-through worm bin is to cut a large opening in the lid. There are enough air circulating a worm leads to the formation of condensation on interior walls and the migration of the worms to cut a hole about 6 "x12" is a lot of breathing room for your little friends. Cut with a knife carpet this hole of air.
2 The double screening of the material so that the holes in such a way that makes them even less overlap. I like to have a horizontal layer and the layer of otherdiagonally. You can attach the screening material around the edges of freshly cut hole in the lid, or use glue to make a good seal.
3 Make the same number of holes in the front and rear of the container, about 6 inches from the floor. You need 6-10 holes on each side, depending on the size of your plastic containers.
4 They are the lead rope through the holes from front to back, as if you were threading laces. To create the bottom of the screen of the container byThis, in order to make sure that the cable is screwed in and tightened. A knot on the outside of the container, so that even the rope loop.
5 Cut with a cutter, a window, below the area where the rope is threaded. This window must be large enough to fit in your hand, but still a small space at the bottom of the container so that no liquid can not penetrate collection.
6 dampen the shopping bags well. This will serve as a double bottom to the bin. After aTime, the worms eat the bags and put them in jets as well. As the worms migrate upwards, the jets are left along the bottom near enough to the rest of the system and budget support is no longer necessary.
7 Put your worms and their bedding. Put them in a pile, they would like to start a new home in this way.
8 recommend coconut coir or peat as bedding for the worms. Both are great for retaining moisture and provide a niceBarrier that is difficult for the flies to break through, to prevent egg laying. If you integrate into your system read on paper, the fine grinding and I recommend you use this in addition to coconut or peat.
Put a 1 "layer of moist coconut series or peat for the worms. Then, in the first feeding. Remember, no onions or citrus fruit for worms! Then on top of kitchen waste, put a nice thick layer of fiber coir or peat, at least 2 -3 ". For good measure, sprinkle of cinnamontop of everything. Cinnamon is a natural insecticide to deter winged demons even more. Put the lid with the screen.
9 Leave the light on. Can worms several days to adjust to their new home, and let the light that will encourage them to stay in their darkened room in the trash. Once the idea and begin to eat, will wander.
A worm bin does not smell bad. If you experience any unpleasant odors power delay until the odorinflammation to subside. You may need to add more worms or feed less frequently until the worm population increases.
In a month or two, you will find that the bags are broken down to the bottom of the container. Now you can scrape the bottom to release their first crop of jets. If you start to see the worms, then the harvest will be done. The worm continues upwards towards the food sector with the passage of time moving, and then left until the merger done.
