Hi Joesph, Check out the Vermicomposting Map for local worm folks who are "willing to share": http://vermicomposters.com/ The beauty of this map system is that it allows people who have worms and who live nearby to find each other. Some people even…

Make your own flow-through WORM BAG for indoor composting and easy casting separation
Instructables are a great way to learn how to make and do things, as well as post your own instructions. It would be great to see some more types of home-made worm bin instructions in there...

- I'd like to shift over to your bag system...currently using rubbermaid stacked bins, and separating the worms is a real pain. But when you open the bottom, it doesn't just all dump out? You have some control?

- Hi Amy, I saw your digestive table and intraterrestial soundings on your site. I like your art. I'd like to say thanks again for sharing designs of worm bin bag, I've spent about 15 euros for materials.
As you've told me on instructables my worms are very big; unfortunately I bought them from a bait shop without being sure if they are EFs and paying much more than what you pay for vermicomposting worms. Obviously the bigger ones between all worms are chosen to attract fish, I hope that they attract each other, too, and will lay eggs soon.

Tiffany said… - Hi Amy! I just joined vermicomposter.com. I really like your worm bag and will be making one for a nature center. I hope to make a new and more interactive worm composter for visiting kids and this one is perfect. I do have one question. Do you ever have to wash the bag? Is it necessary?

I'm about to harvest my first bin that was solely for processing the buns... I'm just finding there's quite a bit of hair mixed in with it!
That was totally a surprise!
