This is...so ingenious. I’ve been wanting to have a compact vermicompost system that I can keep in my apartment and this definitely looks like it would fit the bill
Glad it was helpful! THANK YOU.
Great concept. I'd use a pan to catch the first sifting from the bucket. If you make the catch pan a double pan with a screen on the bottom of thetop pan you just give your double catch pan a shake to harvest the fine castings.

This is quite possibly the most simple method I have seen yet. A sad admission is when I got started with my wormery I paid $100 for a system thinking it would make it easier. I now think a DIY system would be just as effective, and something like this would be better! Thank you for sharing!
THANK YOU.. for sharing also and watching too.
Hi Mark, I'm taking a break from my spring planting to watch your latest video, and I thought I'd share what I found. While transplanting my Brussels sprouts seedlings, I noticed the soil is LOADED with EARTHWORMS! I've never seen so many! This is also my first planting season using a fall/winter cover crop and no-till method. Coincidence?? I don't think so! It's working. I'm GROWING soil for the first time. The earthworms love it, I love it, and I know my plants will love it. I'm thrilled! Thank you for sharing your wisdom. You are an inspiration!
GREAT, to hear. That is very good sign.... THANK YOU for letting me know.
What did you use for cover crop? Do you dig holes for tomato?
I knew there had to be an easier way. I really like your idea.
THANK YOU that is very kind of you to say.
Ingenious 👍. Some people just know how to do simple things to make life easier 👵🏻👩🌾❣️
Ingenious! My teenage son and I plan to follow your plans. I get the worm castings/compost, and he gets the excess worms for fishing next summer. Thanks for sharing!
That is so great to hear what you plan to do... THANK YOU.
WOW Simple ,cheap.. looks easy to build. I been using deep bins to raise my worms. I'm liking the 2 bucket stack system. I'm so damn happy I followed you 😀 it's making me think I'm smart! so I'm thinking! I might build a few and use 1/8 in one bucket just to see what happens! And I'm looking forward to your next video.....
Love this simple idea. I was just thinking about doing something similar but with a catch bucket and a screen that prevents the casting / compost from flying everywhere. I would forgo the 1/4 and go directly to the 1/8 screen along with a third bucket that allows for the worms to migrate up. That way they not all freaked out like they were suddenly in some strange, spinning dance floor at a club. 😂
Just to let you known no worms were harmed making this video. It was like a carnival ride.
I AM ORGANIC GARDENING hahahaha. Sorry for the confusion. Was not suggesting that at all. I just didn't want to have the sifted compost flying everywhere.
@@iamorganicgardening I heard no laughing
😂😂😂
This is the best diy worm casting harvesting system I’ve seen!! Brilliant!
THANK YOU so very much. Enjoy.
This is an awesome idea! thanks so much I can't wait to make my own. I have a question I was wondering if you could just lay the 1/4 inch hardware cloth on the inside of the bucket and the finer mesh on the outside so you can still achieve the double screening process without the second step? I've never tried this and am new in regard to using castings so I don't know if it would work, any thoughts? thanks again for a great video. have a great weekend
Always fascinating to see your simple and cot effective approaches for important things the *living soil* interested people need. Thank You!
THANK YOU. Always trying to keep it simple and cheap. I like to spend my time with my sons.
Awesome ! That is the most reasonable starting method I have ever seen. Thanks!!
THANK YOU so much for your kind words...
I love this idea for small scale wormeries! Thank you for sharing this video!
Glad to hear.. THANK YOU.
Hello, I just found your channel looking for cover crop info. You explain cover crops and soil building so well that it turned the light bulb on for me. Thanks for sharing your love and knowledge. Oh! Love the all in one worm bin. 🙏
Awesome, thank you!
The worms said "WHEEEEEE"!!!!
You heard that too. Thanks.
You amaze me about how very smart with such simple things I just love your videos I always learn something cheers Florida
Only thing I might do different is place the plastic back over the screen to keep even the smallest worms inside. But regardless you created a great affordable and amazing way to combine bin and harvest.
Good point! Thanks
@@iamorganicgardening Could we just cut a cardboard or some weed barrier cloth, using the lid as a guide and placing it over the compost? 🤔
The worms:
🎶 🪱 You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round
Like a record, baby 🪱 🎵
Great Comment. THANKS
I love that. It is so practice. The whole family can get involved.
Clever. very very clever :-) Love it. I was going to comment that no way will the worms not come out of the mesh and into the sump area below but I noticed then in part 2 that you keep the cut out section and replace it on the bucket covering the mesh before you reinsert the bucket. I know with worms there's always 'one' lol that will get out and into the sump but that's got to reduce the numbers.
Such a great idea. Thanks for sharing.
This is as easy and cheap as you can get. I like that when you are just doing a small scale. So cheap that I would make a couple different buckets with those different screen sizes..Some of the sizes are a bit hard to find. I had to order it from Amazon. Thumbs up my friend.
Great to hear.. THANK YOU my friend.
Nice idea for small scale worm farming,,top invention.
All the best from Australia
Marty Ware
THANK YOU for your kind words..
Thanks for your video sir. I love the idea for the spinning sifter.
Nice idea. I like the rectangular screen better for sifting, but hey it's my opinion. I've just started worms this week. I'm using a simple styrofoam cooler to keep them. I have a source for free styrofoam containers which I think will work great. When I actually get to screening the castings then I'll be able to test each idea out there and find out what is the best for me.
Keep the ideas coming. That's the best part of youtube.
GREAT.. Thanks for sharing . Please let me know how it works out.
I agree
Nice. Thinking outside the box. You could buy a very small screen colander from Walmart that'll remove more. Could also make a "V" below the bucket attached to the wood with your next level screen so it does it in one fell swoop. Just some thoughts. Love the idea.
THANK YOU.. all great things to add. Just make sure that colander is 1/8 inch screen. I could not fined any at a low price.
Ooh! That is brilliant! I'll do mine that way for sure!
I need you at my place Brent,,love the inventor in you my friend
such human ingenuity and resourcefulness. simplicity at its best. Thank you sir. God be with you.
Keep things simple in life so you can ENJOY more.. THANK YOU for watching.
you are welcome :)
This is such Smart creation. I gotta try to make it!
The bucket in bucket is great. I like the fact that moisture can escape.
If you google "14 stainless steel rim sieve" there's a flour sifter that might fit a bucket (for finer sifting)
That is a very good item to look into..Thanks
Something to consider here if you are thinking of using a sifter over a bucket 😊

Merci from Montreal, Canada.
Love, love, love the simplicity of it!
I am glad you like it. I hope it Helps. THANK YOU.
I pretty much made this same system it didn’t have the finer screening on the lid or a stand to turn the sifting bucket. I’ve since made another bucket flow threw by cutting the bottom of the bucket in strips with wide enough openings between so that I can get a hand garden claw between strips & claw out castings. The plastic strips didn’t hold up to the weight so now I leave a lip of plastic about 1/4” to 1/2” around the bottom & place bamboo sticks over the strips secured by clay at each end. I use cardboard & news paper to hold the first load of bedding only adding 6” or so (so) worms will eat through the bottom. Once they’ve eaten through bottom I can usually start harvesting castings. I’ve made another bucket similar to your tumbler but no screening. I set my flow through bin bucket in held up by 4, 1/2” pvc pipe sections just above the opening in the harvest bucket & I rake my castings in to it. I do tumble them & do a fine sift to catch any stragglers & cocoons. I age the castings so any wisps can grow up a bit & do a final sifting to catch those juveniles. To long I know I’ll have to start doing videos.
I do think you may be on to something. Maybe try starting with the 1/8 screen down to 1/16 screen. Also maybe use a threaded rod and a few washers and nuts. You gave me a few ideas. Ty for the time to make the video, and spread the love. Keep it green my friend
Thanks for the tips!
Hi Mark, The idea of laying out plastic below the spin cycle is cheap and easy, but if you had a third bucket, cut in half, top to bottom and back to top it would collect the first screening pretty easy and make the pouring into second screening just as easy. Also other great suggestions here setting up a colander right below your screen opening to collect the first screening. Cheers, Bill
Good idea.. Its seems everyone is suggested that & likes to use a colander. The only 1/8 mesh colander I could fine cost $30 for one. A buying a roll of 1/8 screen is same $ cost or more. I can not buy less then a roll or pieces of it. THANK YOU.
What a great idea! Thanks for sharing.
I suppose it wouldn't be very hard to have a 3rd bucket with the holes drilled in the bottom and new bedding for the worms to migrate up into it so they don't get spun.
I can't wait to learn how to make this!
This is a great idea.
THANK YOU so much. Enjoy
nice idea perfect for indoors over winter
Yes.. What a good time to build up your stock of them. THANK You for watching.
cheapest and best set up yet. Thank you
THANK YOU...so very much.
good video. I already have worms in a tub, but this idea is something I could use to separate the castings. I look forward to the second part of this series.
THANK YOU.. I hope part 2 can be helpful to you. THANKS for watching...
The worms must be quite surprised when the universe starts spinning suddenly.
That is a great way to look at it...THANK YOU
Ula Ka
food and carnival rides! lol
Loooool 😳😄😂😂😂😂😂😂
The metal will rust
gdd job, love it, this is far the best and easiest way to harvest warm cast
THANK YOU so very much.
Nice Mark, will give that one a try with some modifications.
Thanks again.
Frank
THANK YOU, Frank. I glad to hear.
please post your modifications!! thanks!
@@palipali4264 Link to Worm Bin DIY Part 2 : czcams.com/users/edit?o=U&video_id=e9h3FFQss0k .
Genius idea!
Have you thought of installing some sort of crank? I know isn’t a lot of force applied with this method, but I wonder if will make it easier for someone with limited motion. Good idea by the way.
My friend that was in a car accident years ago that has limit use of his arms and legs uses a cordless drill with a rubber sanding wheel ( will no paper added ) and holds its against the bucket. He also takes string and wraps it around the buchet and a hole saw cutting blade that acts like a pulley inside the cordless drill. Thanks
Very clever, I like it a lot!
Brilliant brilliant brilliant!
THANK YOU for you kind words.
That is a wonderful Ideal, Mark. It could work for separating other things too.
Yes. that is a great idea..THANKS.
thanks for sharing I will have to show this video to my husband to make it for me!
Great, I am glad this can help you. THANK YOU.
Very clever idea Mark I look forward to part 2
THANK YOU for watching. I should have it done next week.
Warm casting is somewhat moist toward the middle and the top. Does it actually seep through the net when you spin it? Can you do a video of you harvesting your bin with the worms, food waste and the worm casting? I'm curious. Genius idea by the way. Love your invention.
I like this Thank you
Awesome. THANK YOU so very much.
Thank you for this!
My pleasure! THANKS
Very very very smart thank you
So nice of you to say. THANK YOU.
This is genius!! Thank you so much
Glad you like it! THANK YOU.
Looks great Mark! Just enough to add to flats when starting seeds to help prevent dampening off. I keep a 5 gallon bucket worm bin with me when digging in the garden as the wood chips really draw the worms when a lot of moisture is present. Kudos on the idea!
That is a good way to get free worms.. Wood Chips work wonders. And your CZcams Channel is very helpful to everyone and your Farm looks amazing.. THANK YOU.
Thank you for the kind words mark and keep up the great work!
Cool video
Brilliant, Mark! Looks easy peasy!
THANK YOU... glad you like it.

i like this idea i have a small worm condo and don't need a large scale sifter just need something cheap. why do people sift twice couldn't you just use the 1/8th mesh and dump the rest back in the composter???
What a great idea! Wish I was handy with a hammer! Thanks!
THANK YOU...
Brilliant, brilliant. You give new point to the design. Thanks for share
THANK YOU for watching..
I love this idea. 😊thank you so much for sharing
No problem 😊. fun to do. THANK YOU.
Love it! I believe I'll be shortening my board and my rod so that I can sit it down in a plastic tub. Cut a 1/2 inch x 4-5 inch slot in the tub for the rod to sit down in. And then add a removable handle for the rod..
Also I'm wondering do I have to go with the larger mesh or can I just use the smaller mesh to start with humm...
I'm going to have to try this.
Thanks!
That's a great idea! Larger es is best because the casting are very moist.
@@iamorganicgardening I usually let part of mine dry out a bit before I harvest them. My beds are quite large so I can let half of it dry while the other half is still moist for the worms.
I understand where you coming from though thank you.
Great idea
Thank you! 😊
You would think for as much effort and forethought you put into your idea, you would have put something underneath to catch the castings so they arent flying everywhere. Hahaha A nice shallow square plastic bin would be perfect.
even genius brains get tired...he'd a thought of it later
it was hilarious to see him spin this excellent design and have the castings just fall on the counter
Good initiative, but i wonder about moisture. The example was made with dry material, but the composting (when it is with worms) in any point is wet and with kind bunches of wet soil...how do you handle this?
The KEY to that is you never fill the bucket up more than half way with worm food and you can remove the lid to sunlight to dry before starting. And also when you start to spin it will dry quickly due to all the air moving between the organic matter and casting from spinning. PLUS worm casting are hard round pellets that dry very quickly also..
I just watched both parts of this video series; this one and the one where you showed us how to make it. I noticed two things that were different in this video. 1) the screen was attached without the screws that were shown in the other video, and 2) you did not use the "cover" when you slid the worm bucket into the outer bucket. Have you learned something new/better?
So this is what you do when your farm is covered with snow and the ground is frozen. You farm worms. Great idea!
THANK YOU.. Enjoy you building & sharing your new garden arch trellis on YOUR GARDEN CHANNEL..
Would it not be easier for the 2nd sifting to put the castings IN the bucket and shake them out? Just a thought but great set up and thank you for the time it took to share this!
Aren't castings wet when fresh? I think this is a pretty good idea but fresh castings are wet.
They just need a few hours to dry. So in the morning open the top lid and leave it in the light so the worms stay in. Then in a few hours give it a spin . All is well
Everything is dry... will it work when the dirt is wet? Worms like moisture.
Yes, They do.. But moist - not wet. also you can remove the bucket from the other and tilt it on it side outside in the sun for amount 15 minutes before spinning. The worms will go to the center, they do not light the light. THANKS
thank you, applying this to compost sifting!
Glad to her it was helpful.
Thanks!!!!
No problem!
How do you recover the egg capsules after you have screened your bucket?
Yes, to start a new bucket source. You do not want to many worms I feel. THANK YOU for asking.
Yes!!! This is awesome!
Glad you think so very much. Thanks
Could please explain why it matters if you store organic matter along with worm castings?
It will keep them to wet.. And might get moldy. THANKS for asking.
@@iamorganicgardening thanks!
I just use 3 normal plastic compost bins for a worm form hub and I get huge amounts of castings. I say hub because that's where I keep a constent high population of worms in at least 2 of the 3 bins all year round.
VERY NICE. that is so great to hear.
Is is true if you accidentally chop a worm in half with a shovel itll survive and will now have two worms? Also you should put a tray under your tumbler to catch all the castings. Much easier for processing.
A tray would be helpful... THANK YOU.
A quick way to double worm population!
Good concept, however, fresh castings are that dry so what do you do for wet castings.. Do you separate worms allow to dry out a bit and then do this process or what..
Just it the bucket sit in the light fro 8 hrs on the screen side so the worms move to the darker side. They will dry with rhe lid off to then you can spin it. It should never be too wet in the bucket.
@@iamorganicgardening ok makes since; think i will play around with idea. Good video thinks..
Very interested in watching part two! Great idea. One question: what is wrong with having some organic matter left after you go through it the first time? The end product looks dry. Did you say there were worms in that bucket?? If I use this sistem I think many of my worms would go through the 1/4" mesh. Sorry, English is not my first language. You do speak very clearly but maybe I didn't get it right. Thank you
The Only problem with the organic matter is if you wish to store it for a long period of time that it holds more moisture then the worm casting and that is not good in a sealed bucket. THANK YOU for asking.
But, why don't you just store the castings in dry storage, where the moisture in the leftover organic material would evaporate into the dry air.
S T This is what I was wondering as well.
I can;t help thinking, if there were any worms in that dry shit, they would all be knocking on the pearly gates to wriggly heaven.
Jut think they have a fun day at the amusement park rides...
BRILLIANT!!!
THANK YOU so very much..
love the great ideas thank you
Glad you like it. THANKS
Interesting video as always. Thanks Mark.
Thank You.. I just SUB to your CHANNEL...
How do you get the screen attached to the bucket?
Here is part 2 How to Build It. Click on this link. czcams.com/video/e9h3FFQss0k/video.html.
Do the worms migrate from the bucket through the screen and end up drowning in the worm T in the outer bucket?
A few will, but the inner bucket is so tight to the outer bucket will stop this. Plus place the cover you cut off for the screen area back in place before siding them together. THANKS
Wouldn't that hurt the babies larva if there us any in there
Not at al . Nature is rough. Thanks
I love this idea, I know the castings are good for the garden but can't see myself handling them. where do you keep them in the winter?
In my basement .. Thanks for asking.
Mine go in the garage in N. Idaho. I can continue to add food and there are little flies.
Love this. The best.
THANK YOU, it was fun to make too.
Is it ok to keep the substrate indoor? What about the smell or i hve to put it outside
Inside is fine. Smell only is from to much food add and to wet. THANKS
very good idea .
THANK YOU.. enjoy your week.
Are you just giving them leaves to eat as organic matter? How many worms per bucket? I also live in zone 6b in KS, so I have watched all of your videos.
I will be going over all of that in the later parts of this series. This is just Part 1. THANK YOU for Watching..
Very nice and functional
THANK YOU, that is very kind of you to say.
My worm compost is very wet. Any suggestions? It seems to never really dry out.
More holes at the bottom & remove the lid during the day when their is light so the worms stay in the bail. Or add some coconut coir
Excellent and soo smart! You're inventor!! (Now if you could just invent a simple way to make me skinny and rich...)
Where is the second part of the video??
Easy, start your own DIY organic gardening / cooking /workout CZcams channel. With a great name..THANKS
Part 2.. Will be done next week.
Love it! Ill need to try that soon!
It is fun to use and very little mess.. THANK YOU for watching too.
I'm subbed, Ill check out the rest of your stuff.
Hello, I built your system a couple of weeks ago and it seems to be working fine. Thank you!!!
I have two questions - the worms are not eating all the scraps I make daily. Will they grow bigger and eat more eventually or do I need to have more than one?
Also I tried to get the buckets apart to move to the harvesting stage and they are stuck together. Normally I would pour in water or hit the buckets with a mallet but I don't want to do that with the worm family in there. Is there an easy way to get them separated?
Thanks a lot!
You can coat the inner bucket with coconut or vegetable oil. You can blend the scraps to make it easy fro them to eat at. THANK YOU for asking.
Ok, thanks, I just did my first spin. The material was very wet even after I had a screen top for a day but I thought I'd practice anyway. So it was messy and dirty but I got a bunch of castings and put them on the veggie plants. At some points in the process bagged worm castings were looking a lot more attractive. I may not do this forever ;) But I will turn my system over to a more enthusiastic gardener if I quit ;)
One tip I have is to get the worm tea drippings every couple of days because they really smell bad.
this is great!
THANK YOU, and so are you fro watching ....
Love all your videos and looking for #2 castings in DIY worm bin, is it available yet?
I am late getting it done..Sorry. With In the next week for sure..THANKS
Good job awesome idea will def. Have to try this
THANK YOU fro your kind words and watching too..
