James Bernard- Can you tell me how you wired the drill to control the speed.
Dana Bellefeuille- the worm guy took my 69 dollars and never gave me my worms,, everyone run
TEXANConnection- signed up for you news letter, did not receive the plans. really intrested in the drill variable speed set up. unable to duplicate that part.
jionnie- This is how we grade oysters into different sizes . But on a much bigger scale of course ! Same principle !
Medic Ken- Get a 1/2hp 3 phase motor and run with a variable frequency drive. It can run from normal household power. If you a vector drive it will come with a built in potentiometer. the VFD will also give you full torque at low rpm.
Tynan Larson-Caldwell- good job mate.
Mykitty crapscorn- Humans are amazing.
SimpleHumman- very clever!
topgun8582- how do you keep every thing snug will it is running does it bounch around any John
MrSimtak- @OrganicWormFarm Thank you for a brilliant idea, so simple, easy, thank tons brother , I am really enjoy it. God bless you all - Sim USA.
Tony Workman- Where do all of the worm eggs go?Do they fall in a particular bin or are they lost every time the bin is cleaned?
Bruce Galle- @GATORFOOT166 Thanks... the plans are now available for free from Worm Harvester Plans dot com Bruce
Tony Smpdr- Clever set up. I wouldn't be surprised if you burnt up the motor on the drill though. Maybe torquing the wheel differently might help with that.
cbw1953- This is the exact harvester I was looking for.Thanks a million for the plans.I was not thinking of bicycle rims. Chuck
Bruce Galle- John No it runs smooth due to the design which holds it in place at the top. I will be giving out the plans once completed to anyone signing up for the newsletter. Worm Composting Blog dot com and use the newsletter link in upper left hand corner of the page. Bruce
mike rosner- great idea work beter then by my hand sifter.
Kenneth Gillam- Hi Bruce, that bedding looks pretty dry. Do you need to let it dry out before the harvest?
Bruce Galle- @lilasianjoe Actually I have not place pictures but had modified by using two 5 gallon buckets upside down under the worm catch bin :-) Bruce
RocketSauce- I think all the comenters telling this guy how to do what he HAS done should show a video of how you would do it so YOU could teach people for free how to do things.
Paul Herd- are your plans for your worm harvester finished yet? Where do you find 1/8 inch screen?
Nicholas Cafarelli- Eliminate the bike rims, the upper wooden rings, and upper casters. Cut the tops from 5 gallon buckets to make the three rings. Locate the drill just above the wooden side rail. Now the belt holds the sieve down on the lower casters. Make a homemade belt with an old bike tube. Sew the ends together for a custom length belt. Eliminate 4 casters by using carpet scraps. Cut small squares for the end rings to slide on. Now you only need 2 casters for the central ring.
southernreign1- where did you buy the 1/8" screening from? is it 1/8" opening squares or 8 squares per inch?
GATORFOOT166- that was a great video! nice set up.
ZephZhang- I can't imagine that this is good for live worms. What percentage make it out alive and live past the next day with this system?
Joe Ya- nice i think u hould put a box on the bottom of the clear bucket so the worms dont get that high of a fall
