Worm Castings Extract Liquid Concentrate or Recharge which is best?

Richard Drysift said:

No I’m super lazy; bought a worm factory 360 and then added 2 more trays for a full 5 tray stack. The worm factory’s tray system makes it very easy to harvest the castings. I don’t even try to separate the worms anymore they go directly into recycled soil. There are several thousand in the bin that keep on making babies.
I did try to build a diy worm bin out of two nested totes long ago but it must’ve gotten too hot in there for them. Kept escaping to their deaths on the dry basement concrete. Wubba got the right idea there with the venting; take note....
Suppose it is possible to make an outdoor worm bin but it must be kept out of the elements and in fairly stable temperature. They don’t like to be too hot or too cold. They like to “feel the breeze” through the bin. Worms like to hang out near the top edges of the lid where lots of air gets in; especially if the compost is very wet. They seem to want to just lay out and dry sometimes. Try to balance their food by adding both “green“ veggie/fruit scraps along with “brown“ leaves, shredded paper, and egg cartons. They hate light so a dingy basement or garage might be best place to keep them.

Loving it! I just got two pallets of the raw logs right out of the prop room. The owner of the shroom farm likes me and cuts me a deal.
Breaking it up by hand kinda sucks but the stuff is quite amazing!

And goat if I want it.

I'll use it to build soil. If i didnt have a worm bin that I get my casting from then I would buy this local and proly order some worm castings, then mix them Id do a 1 gallon of EWC, 3 gallon of Mushroom compost, and 2 cups of craft blend. top dress with that and cover the top dress with mulch.

Yeah Ive used if ro a few years.

Here’s one I made for my mother earlier this year.

can be as easy as two Rubbermaid bins and a brick in the bottom one to allow airflow underneath and allow juice to flow out if you freed too much.

had broken humidity domes so I added the top vents

lots of air holes at the top for air exchangeView attachment 4889056
Bottom holes, airflow is important

How To Grow Your Own Rove Beetles & Save Lots of Money By building a Rove Beetle Farm

A few years ago I got fed up with buying rove beetles. They are just so damn expensive to be blatantly honest. That being said, I also feel they are an integral part of a no-till growing environment indoors. They are some of the best soldiers you can have to help you defend against fungus gnats...

Do they stay in the bowl or do they make a run for it?
