Default Raising Worms for fish food

Joe, what's the best way to collect the liquid? Drill
some holes in the bottom and keep some plastic under there to catch it?


I have a container made specifically for worms and it has a valve that I
drain into a pail. You might go down to the Home Depot and buy some PVC
pieces that will do the same thing. Drill a hole in the end (or bottom) at
one end of the bin that is large enough to accommodate the fitting. Then,
because the crud in the bin will clog the valve, take some stiff wire ( like
chicken wire) and build a barrier around the valve on the inside. Then place
some newspaper around the chicken wire. Alternatively, I've heard you can
place a sponge against the valve, but I've never tried this. Then, slightly
tilt your bin in the direction of the valve. We're not talking heavy flow
here.

Hope that helps

Joe
