I’m new to vermiculture, raising worms that is.   I got started last March, thanks to a friend willing to part with some of her worms, thanks Lib.  At this point my bin has too many worms, so I hope to gift some soon.

This is how the bins normally look, stacked one inside the other.  The top bin is for worms and fresh food, always covered, worms are shy and don't care for light. 

Most of the time the middle bin is empty, but now I'm moving the top bin to the middle, worms and all.  The old middle bin, now empty, moves to the top position, and gets fresh food.  The top and middle bins have holes in the bottom to let the worms climb up to get the fresh food, and the holes let the worm juice flow through to the bottom bin. In a few months most of the worms will have migrated to the top bin, I'll harvest the worm castings, and the middle bin will be empty again.

The bottom bin is the sump for the worm juice.

More than five gallons of undiluted worm juice.  Good job worms!

Fresh eats for the red wigglers.
