How do you Empty the Worm Inn? (video)

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDlgJdJPJc4 I've been getting a lot of email regarding how to empty the Worm Inn composting system: How do you get the castings out? How do you keep the worms from escaping? Do you have to screen through all the material you just put in? All questions with super simple answers. Since worms eat the material from the bottom up, they leave behind their precious castings. As you can see in the video, you simply open the drawstrings and take them out. If you find a worm, you've reached the end of your castings and you simply put the worm back in the top of the Worm Inn.

The Secret to Simple Vermicomposting: The Worm Inn

The other main factor, while not as important to me as you hardcore gardeners, is the castings. Plastic bins are obviously not easy to work with, while the Inn is as simple as opening a drawstring.…

Getting started with the Worm Inn Pt. 2

So today I completed the Worm Inn, and I didn't even use the stand anyway. I went out and got the piping to build the stand, spent the time cutting it with my new vise that I hardly use, and had a lot of fun doing it. While I was cutting it, I realized that I don't really need it. Hanging it from the ceiling was cool enough, and then I found a killer spot for it: BAM! So good. This area of my basement was filled with junk, and now it's transformed into my waste processing station. How cool is that? So now I'm left with a stand...who wants it?
