    Your Worm wee bucket looks similar to mine, i call it getting the absolute most out of a bucket, no need to buy a new one until it falls apart completely.😊

    Uh huh, you bought up an interesting topic! I learned the hard way that the juice coming into the worm catcher tray at the bottom is in fact leachate and not worm tea/fertilizer.
    However, I was always wondering if you could just run a bucket of water through the worm farm and collect the end result to use as fertilizer. And you showed us we can :)
    Cool bonus tip to run it through a few times too.

      You’re very welcome. There are some worm liquid fertilizer companies that keep the worm drench system secret. They use huge vats of oxygenated water to pass through castings before bottling. The best companies allow the water to also pass over the worm skin to pick up even more microbes! It has to the pass through castings quickly to be considered a drench

    Great explanation on worm farming bin Marty
    New Bucket🪣 next time at Bunnings 😊
    The compost bins are doing good, but the Sub-pod doesn’t have the holes on bottom to promote the worms doing lateral movement to keep the nutrients around the plants rather than underneath where there’s nothing happening because of the sub-pod.Biologically speaking will move to complete bed, even under the sub-pod.
    Thank you Karin😇

      Yer Subpod’s is closed now, Aussie gardener are considering bringing out a model. If they do I will recommend not bottom. Or a way for earthworms to come up freely

      @@martysgarden easy to make smaller ones that don’t take up too much room up in the raised beds.
      Coles flower containers, especially the long ones they use to sell flowers are something you can use and drill the bigger holes like in sub pod drill some small holes what you don’t bury add a lid or a standard pot 200mm that will allow easy airflow and to put in scraps.
      Put 3 in each raised beds in the middle.

      @@martysgarden that's how I get lots of my seedlings, mainly tomatoes but they also seem to just pop up in the gardens so I either leave them or move them or just compost them in place.
