An even BIGGER BEN!!!

***Update***

Progress on Bigger Ben and change of plans. Pictured is this weeks progress on Bigger Ben. Caster wheels installed, floor joists and flooring put down. Hopefully get the side and end walls installed tomorrow and the pond liner in this weekend. The change of plan is that it will be a red wiggler bin. Little Ben has become home to my ANCs who seem to be very happy in there after a few days.

Coming soon to a wormery near you. An even bigger worm bin, "Bigger Ben". This is the initial frame work for a 3 1/2' x 8' x 18" ANC bin. 3/4" plywood will make the walls and floor which will be on 16 inch centers. It will be lined with pond liner and this time I'm gonna cut it to size and seal the seams with a pond/fish safe sealant and will also be installing caster wheels rated for up to 4,400 lb making fully mobile as well. The max capacity for ANCs is much different than red wiggs and blues. They top off at about 3 lbs per sq ft and only about 300-400 per lb which is a max capacity when full of about 35,000 worms. We shall see 😁🪱💩😁
