I've got a few pictures and a video for you today. This fall Chuck has worked hard on building our first new worm shed. He's got it built, but as you can see we still need to get it sided. At least it's able to hold our worms now.


This is a row of beds in our new shed. We got these new beds set up a couple of weeks ago, but until Saturday there was no heat in the new shed. Now there is heat, the beds are thawed and we will be adding worms to each of these beds tonight.


On Saturday, Chuck started harvesting the beds we have in the garage. This picture is of our worm casting harvester. Chuck shovels in everything that was in a worm bed. Then it get spun and the castings fall through to the ground, newspaper, and worms and rocks, etc, fall to the end, where one of the kids push everything off into containers at the end. We will then sort through that stuff my hand getting the worms out and they will go back in fresh bedding towards the end of the week (we hope).

Here's a little video of Chuck and Makiya havesting.
