This is probably the most critical step. At some point, if your foreman is a 4 year old, you may want to have something handy if the occasion arises at some point during the build that he decides he is bored watching you smooth out the drilled holes w/ the razor prior to adding the screen, or whatever. I used a Nintendo DS.

That is just about it. We are letting our bin, fester in the garage for a week or two before adding the worms. For one, to order them online they are about $30 per lb. I will be looking for them locally, and will update as to where you may be able to find them generally. All set up, your farm should look like this. Note, (although it's hard to tell, my bins are angled forward to aide in water drainage, I used taller PVC pieces on the back.)

And a diagram kind of showing the idea of how this is "supposed" to work.

This is a live action work in progress folks. I will update down the road when we add worms, and then later w/ some results. Oh and you don't need a 4 year old as one of the supplies, but it helps alot, and yours probably won't turn out nearly as good unless you have one!
8182KSKUSH Reviewed by 8182KSKUSH on . DIY Worm Farm Build Well, here we go. My son w/ a little help;) put this together for me. Great way to compost or so I have read, but also great way to make your own bait! He is an avid fisherman. I like the idea of being able to feed all my biologicals, (trimmings, leaves, stems, etc...) to them and not worry about needing to dispose of it in any way that could pose a security threat. I actually have 3 trash bags full now, that I have had for a year! So these worms will eat like kings at our home lol! Not Rating: 5
