I finished moving! Here are some pictures throughout the move in process.

Among the first things was getting in the CFT. I had an older one from Terra Vesco (the same ones seen in the little big farm documentary) but I sold it so I could scale up. The new one is from Wormgear.

I had 14 racks of worm bins already in use at my old space (moving a commercial worm farm is no joke!), but with the additional square footage I built 7 more, placing my total bins a bit over 1,000. Each tray will have between 800-5,000 red wigglers at a time depending on where it is in the process.

Whenever I move the trommel in the back of my truck people say it looks like a rocket launcher haha.

And when you have 3000+ gallons of manure being decomposed in an indoor system, ventilation is key so I'm working on that currently but for now this shutter fan is doing the trick.

But I'd say we're totally moved in now and shipping off the healthiest red wigglers known to man!

I'll answer just about any question. The business is Hungry Worms and you can also find lots of info there on the website

So I've had a composting bucket for years. Just something I throw random food scraps in when I cook. Have never been able to get worms in it but not for lack of trying I once caught a bunch of earthworms after it rained and brought them home and threw them in and they disappeared. Recently I lifted the lid and saw all these fellows. The bucket has holes so it can breathe but they are on the sides and it's pretty compacted. The lid fits snuggly so it doesn't let out a strong odor as I live in an apartment complex. I'm wondering what kind of worms they are and if they are good or bad?

Hello. This post might be removed but I think it’s related so will give it a shot.

Does anyone do blatticomposting (using very specific, non-pest, cockroaches). I’m in Canada and trying to find the appropriate cockroaches.

I’m pretty shocked that this isn’t happening more widely or to a larger scale because it creates a lot of great outputs including compost, feeder insects, a source of high protein, and starter colonies for others ( in addition to dealing with food wastes).

Any input and thoughts on this?

The clump of wiggling dots is new. What is it? Friend or foe?

I have a vivarium with terrestrial newts that has more flowerpot fungus than I would like. Do red wigglers or encs eat that? I don't want a bunch of worms in there but I keep both and would definitely add a few if that's something they eat since isopods and springtails don't touch it.

1 i plan on using rubbermaid container as the worm bin i got air holes drill into it but what else should i do before adding worms

2 are red wiggler the best option the bin will be indoors a garage even during winter

3 are there any risk to using leaf litter as brown in worm bin

Do you take your worms to any events to educate others about worm farming?

Hello guys,
Long story short i bought a package of Eisenia Fetida in july. Being a beginner, i just thought the larges part of them were dead from the package. Started the colony with a few of them in a box. A few days ago, when tilling the raised beds i found a "clump" of worms. The rubbish bin where i placed the container with the "dead" ones is near the greenhouse. Can you help me identify if what i found are nightcrawlers or EF.
