Very nice!

I’m just getting started and have several bins made from totes and buckets. Couple questions for you....

1. What is the center divider used for?

2. How does it breathe, since I don’t see any air holes?

3. Does it have any drainage holes or are you just very careful about the moisture level?

4. Have you used a similar model through a LA summer? Just curious how it works in the excessive heat of a LA summer, which is similar to ours?

Sorry for so many questions but I’m trying to learn!

I too am learning. Since this site would not let me post all my pics there are several 1 inch holes drilled in bottom covered by a screen. I don’t over water so that’s not a problem with leakage. The divider is so when i want to harvest i will fill other side with bedding and the worms will migrate over. Plus I put a lamp on the empty side to keep warm. The other night it got to freezing. The worms did great. I started in august with plastic totes. I never had any liquid go to second tote. I am getting ready to build an 8ft bin for ENCs to sell to fishermen.. The heat is not as big a problem as i thought. I got my worms when we were close to 100 degrees, I have fans on them it seemed to work. My worms are outside under an overhang not out in direct weather. So far so good. I like the wooden bin better than plastic totes. I know the wood will not last, but I’m trying to design it so it wont absorb the moisture. The wood is more breathable than plastic. You can email me and i will send you pics of everything Ive done. I don’t mind the questions i love this worm stuff. Their fun, i love watching them eat and multiply. I’m not a save the earth kind of guy, i just like my new hobby. Plus its going to make money in the future..
