Scaling up my vermi-compost nursery

My worm beds start up is doing fine for a while now. Started off with 5Kg of worms in aerated plastic containers, confidence has established to scale it to the next level.













The initial focus is to multiply the worm population. To accelerate the process, I've procured another 20Kg of worms - this is to buy time rather to rely on internal organic growth. A multi-tier worm bed was constructed to expand the nursery.













Meanwhile we are studying into mechanizing the vermi-cast production process by some level of automation. Plenty of scope for DIY activity again!

A bigger plan is the prime motivation behind. Let's see how it unfold over time.
