I finished my trommel yesterday. This is a great blessing, the timing is perfect with the addition of the new worms and the potential increase of population. What is a trommel? I thought you would never ask. The trommel I built has 2 different screens one !/8 inch mesh and the other 1/4 inch mesh. The form a six foot tube which rotates. The tube is at a slight downward angle when a tote is poured into the high end the medium moves toward the end as it turns. The best quality of castings(aka worm poo) fall through the 1/8 inch screen and the lesser and worm cocoons (eggs) fall through the 1/4 inch screen and the worms fall out the end with any big debris such as food or bedding not consumed. This process does in 1 hour what I was doing in over 6 hours by hand.
Quick question........ did you know worm poo could be so exciting?
