The Worm Inn facilitates “Continuous flow” vermicomposting
The Worm Inn is designed to be suspended by a shelving unit, a sturdy cross-bar, or a laundry hamper stand,
After designating a place for the Worm Inn, such as a basement, a utility closet, a storage area, a garage, or a classroom, the bag is ready to be filled.
The only things required for set-up are: The Worm Inn
Bedding
This includes cardboard items such as egg carton containers, paper towel inserts and newspapers – avoid glossy inserts
Food scraps
It’s best to let the food scraps sit for a few days so the microbial waste can develop, as this is what the worms actually feed on
Amount – 1-2 lbs of food waste per week is a good amount to sustain a pound of worms
Worms
1-3 pounds of Red Wigglers
To fill the Worm Inn:
some bedding is placed in the bottom to absorb moisture
then a layer of food scraps
followed by the worms
then the rest of the food scraps
finally, a thick layer of more bedding
the whole system is sprayed down with water as the contents need to remain cool and damp
As the system settles, the worms move upwards, digesting the microbial waste of the food, which results in the castings, a rich fertilizer. These castings (or vermicast) are left below as the worms constantly move upward toward more food.
$69.99 plus $10 Shipping, This is a USA product, that ships to Canada and The USA
I’ve got Red, Green, Camo, Brown, Purple available

The older farmers in my area sure gave me some funny looks when I started asking them If they had an Old Fanning Mill hanging around their farms. “What in the world would I want a thing like that for”? . They had not used them since the 1950’s. I heard the story from each, about cranking those old things all day, just to clean that grain so they could plant that years crop. Those machines were hard work, what are you going to do with something like that.
I told them, I was going to try and harvest worm castings with one. I had not even seen one before, but had only heard of them. After harvesting all my worm casting by this point by hand, with a little 1/8″ screen all night to get ready for a garden show the following day, I was ready to try anything.
The Orange one on the left came from the farmer next to me, It was made between 1913-1915, by the Young Brothers of Almonte Ontario,Yes that makes this machine about 95 years old. This unit is the first one I got, it is still operated with the hand crank on the side of the machine.
The red one on the right is one I got at a farm sale, the farmer had sold his farm. When I went and looked at it I was very happy to see what I saw. Someone had put an electic motor on it.
Even though the orange one had a crank on it,and made harvesting the castings much easier. If my hands could be free to handle all the used up bedding I was putting through this machine, I could make alot more finished worm castings in a shorter time. After a few adjustments it works great.
I have made a video of the red one in action! Harvesting Worm Castings

This is something I have been wanting to do for a while now, build worm beds out of straw bales, the past 2 winters we had no frost in the ground in the winter months because of the feet and feet of snow we have had up here in Northern Ontario. So having the worms on the ground with 1 straw bale high will work fine if we have the same winter as the last few years.
These worm beds are now full of bedding and worms, I made the bedding with grass clippings,shredded paper,shredded cardboard, wood shavings and aged manure. I added these in layers till the worm bed was full to the top of the bale, Then I got the Old Allis Chalmers B-10 with a 32″ tiller on the back and tilled all the layers a few times, and let it sit for a couple weeks. By this point the bin was on its way to being stocked with worms I have soooo many euros in my soil around the yard they stock the bed on their own.. So far it is working great.

Liz Lessard, CEPIT
Project Manager
Environmental Division
Trow Associates Inc
In Mid Winter Liz and I talked regarding this office (Trow on Regent) getting set up with vermicomposting. there are about 50 employees, about ¾ of whom are office staff, working year round.
They have been composting there for a while now (Liz has been bringing it home!), and Liz would like to get setup properly there, Her bin is getting full at home!
They produce about a Large ice cream pail per week, possibly more if we get going on the rest of the staff who are not currently composting.
Most of their organic waste is coffee grinds and filters, with a bit of fruit,
The worm bin in the pics is the second bin we setup, The first bin was on the small side, with the amount of organic waste that was being put into the bin for the worms to compost.
The first bin was started with 2 pounds of Red Wigglers, and was about 60 litres in size. good size for a family. but we soon found out it was way too small for the waste Liz was adding to the bin, so we steped up to a 120+ litre bin, this bin has been going for a couple of months now, this bin has been working just fine.
Liz is doing a Great job with her worm bin, KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK…. Liz.

Worm castings
(aka ‘vermicompost’) are one of the most incredible natural fertilizers around. Aside from the incredible growth promoting abilities of this material, the beauty of it is that a very small amount goes a LONG way, as shown in multiple university research trials (Ohio State University). Also makes an excellent compost tea.

Red Wigglers for USA buyers only..
 |
Red Worms (Eisenia fetida), also known as Red Wigglers, are probably the most common worm used for home worm composting. They are very easy to raise, have great appetites, and breed readily in captivity. They are thought to be more effective at processing wastes than European Nightcrawlers. |
1 lb Red Wigglers. ($25.00 worms + $8.00 shipping) Total $33.00 USD
2 lbs Red Wigglers. ($44.00 worms + $8.00 shipping) Total $52.00 USD
3 lbs Red Wigglers. ($62.00 worms + $8.00 shipping) Total $70.00 USD
4 lbs Red Wigglers ($76.00 worms + $10.00 shipping) Total $86.00 USD
5 lbs Red Wigglers ($92.00 worms + $10.00 shipping) Total $102.00 USD
European Nightcrawlers for USA buyers only
 |
European Nightcrawlers (Eisenia hortensis – formerly Dendrobaena veneta), also known as Belgian Nightcrawlers, are quite a bit larger than Red Worms. They are an excellent bait worm, but will readily process organic wastes as well. These worms are well known for their durability on the hook, even in icy and/or brackish waters. They are also quite tolerant of adverse conditions in a worm bin |
1 lb European Nightcrawlers ($32.00 worms + $8.00 shipping) Total $40.00 USD
2 lbs European Nightcrawlers ($64.00 worms + $8.00 shipping) Total $72.00 USD
3 lbs European Nightcrawlers ($94.00 worms + $8.00 shipping) Total $102.00 USD
4 lbs European Nightcrawlers ($112.00 worms + $12.00 shipping) Total $124.00 USD
5 lbs European Nightcrawlers ($135.00 worms + $12.00 shipping) Total $147.00 USD
Our worms are harvested on Mondays and shipped every Tuesday each week (this is a common standard within the industry – helps to avoid worms sitting in postal depots on the weekend) – on very rare occasions they are harvested Tuesday and shipped Wednesday. To ensure that your order is included with a weekly batch,
place order by Saturday at the latest for following week delivery
Since it takes time to plan and properly coordinate the weekly harvesting/shipping. Also, If you know you will be away thurs-Friday please let us know.. so we can put (hold at post office for pickup!!) We don’t want worms sitting in the hot sun for too long..any questions? email me.
