Year after year, my outdoor worm box planter performs very well! I get buckets and buckets of castings that need sifted. The red wigglers survived another Winter outdoors. I insulated them with a massive pile of Autumn leaves. Underneath, I fed the worms with my usual bedding of cardboard and garden waste.

By the middle of the Summer, these worms had chewed through ALL of it! All that was left was a massive pile of deep, rich vermi-compost. So I had to scoop out bucket after bucket of worm castings. In total it was about 36 gallons (loosely pre-sifted)!

In order to finely sift the worm castings at this larger scale, I had to devise a slightly better system. So I upgraded my basic screen door method. I used some recycled wood to construct a basic frame. Then I wrapped the metal screen mesh around it. This allowed my to quickly sift the vermi-compost into my wheel barrow.

Generating worm castings is a highly sustainable way of generating your own natural organic nutrients. The castings work great as a fertilizer, especially in container gardening. In fact, this past Winter, I did some tests using worm castings to make a seed starting mix. The results where impressive!
