We started our worm compost in Sept 08 and it has been flourishing ever since. We bought a vericomposting kit that came with a 4 trays and a bottom tray. It has taken about a 1 month for each of the trays to fill. The bins are stacked on top of each other and we’ve not harvested the compost yet. In fact, I’m not sure when to take the old trays out. Our thought was just to keep adding to the stack and eventually we’ll have all the trays stacked up. All the trays have holes on the bottom so, as it gets stacked higher and higher the worms know to go to where the food is… food is only added to the top tray.
Each tray, we were told, should hold 1 lb of worms, theoretically we have 3 lbs of worms now.
We have drained of about half a gallon of worm tea…. and keeping it in bottles for use on plants
