Photos of some of my bins and worm habitats

You can just about see in the bottom of this bin that there is a grating about 30cm from the ground which allows air to circulate and rise through the bin. In theory I should be able to harvest compost through the grating but I will have to devise some sort of breaker bar to make the compost fall through. This bin is about 1.2mx1.2m square, and in theory, if it was ay a maximum worm population, it could process over 2 tonnes of material per year!!


The bottom of the big wood composter



A small worm bin made for my daughter's classroom.
There was a tight-fitting lid, with nylon covering the ventilation holes,
and the material never
got more than about 10 cms deep.



A Large Flow Through made from an old compost container


The bars as seen from the inside of the flow through vermicomposter. The compost sits on these bars, with a few sheets of newspaaper to hold it in place until it compact sufficiently.
