| 0:00.0 | Hey, what's going on everyone? Kevin from Epic Gardening here. |
| 0:04.0 | Today we're going to be talking about a different type of worm composting system. |
| 0:10.0 | So there are the stackable tray systems, which I think I've talked about quite a few times, |
| 0:14.0 | and they're probably the one you're most familiar with if you're doing any verma composting at all. |
| 0:19.0 | We're going to compare that to something called a continuous flow-through system, which is currently my go-to |
| 0:26.8 | method for verma composting because of its simplicity and efficient design, and then |
| 0:32.2 | there's a couple other benefits that I'll talk about. |
| 0:34.5 | But first, I think for those of you who do not know what a stackable system is, I'm going to try |
| 0:40.2 | to explain it as best as I can. |

| 1:01.0 | Let's call it top, middle, and bottom. So the bottom container is going to |
| 1:06.7 | be the collector of worm juice, basically all of the water and liquid that will fall out of the system as the |
| 1:16.3 | worms start to eat and break down food scraps, right? |
| 1:20.8 | The middle tray is going to be your active tray. |
| 1:24.4 | That's the tray that has your bedding, |
| 1:26.7 | your food scraps, and your worms. |
| 1:29.3 | Now you're saying, okay, well, if that's the active tray, |
| 1:31.4 | what's going on with the top tray well at the start |
