You're looking to get into worm composting. You want something that's just dead simple.

You don't want to deal with moving bins and totes around. Well, there is a system that

works very much that way. It's very easy to use. It's our favorite way to do it. It's

this sort of methodology called the continuous flow through worm bin. So Steve, you're back

in the show again. Welcome back. And why don't we explain this CFT method?

Sure. So thanks Kevin. On the last on the last show, we talked about how to do vermicomposting

in a bucket or a tote. And that's that's fine. You can do vermicomposting that way.

The issue is what do you do when you need to harvest? And so if you have a five gallon

bucket that you fed food waste into and you let the worms finish it all and you say,

OK, I want to get the worm castings out. How is it that you separate the worm castings

from the worms? And so you typically have to dump it all out. You have to either manually

separate the worms or you have to run things through a screener. If you even have one

of those or you have to do some really tedious things to extract the worms and the worm

castings away from the other like there's going to be other unprocessed material there.

So the thing that continuous flow lets you do is it allows you to harvest without disrupt,

basically without a tedious process or disrupting that ecosystem. So when you take that bucket

and you dump it out, you are effectively jumbling up the microbial community that you

just worked so hard to kind of populate over the last few months. So continuous flow

bins rely on upward migration of worms into areas of fresher waste above them. So, you

know, vermicomposing as I talked about is a surface area dependent process and that's

because worms tend to stay towards the top of their habitat or I will say composting

worms do. So what a continuous flow bin lets you do is it lets you feed from the top which
