I’ve been doing it for over 12? years now, memory is failing when I started. Still the same batch of worms. I don’t think continuous flowthrough was even on my radar when I put this farm together and it’s figuratively the same as when I started it. Why fix what isn’t broke. Got any photos?
The only advice I can give a small farm owner is be careful with what you give them and give them small amounts of it. I could have killed my worms a few times over if they didn’t have a side to escape to or an area underneath to drop into.
You can see the old bed slats that give the bath a false floor are looking rough and these pictures were a few years ago:
Other photos of putting a side back together after harvesting:
Neat! I might experiment with horse manure in the future, as I have a convenient source for that anyway. And you might be very right about the danger of giving too much of anything, I might have killed my previous bin with too much (wet) food and no proper escape route. That, and/or a combination with some very hot weather we had around those days.
The good thing is, my three bin system features lots of worms when a bin is in the later stage, so I could simply restart my worm bin with worms from there. I should make some photos from both setups indeed.
