Love all the food you have in your cft.  I can feed mine like that now that I precompost the greens for a week but even in the winter when I would top feed fresh greens on half the bin it would turn into a hot compost pile.  How do you keep BSFL out of your CFT with that large of a screen on the lid?  Really informative.  I always look forward to seeing some good vermicomposting articles on here.

Very nice Huy.  Do you add organic material like dead leaves or grass?  Do you have any problems with bugs or flies feeding on the top surface of food scraps?  

Here are my bins.

I have been using them for a long time, more than 15 years.  They have good ventilation and I have set them up on stone to get them off the ground more.  I used to have a real problem with little black flies feeding on my food scraps but now I just always have a layer of leaves, straw or grass on top and I add new material just under it.  This keeps the flies out.

My system is not as efficient as yours.  I fill one bin 2/3 full and then stop adding to it and let it cook.  Then I switch to the other bin.  It takes a year to fully decompose the contents and I remove it all at once.  I do stir and water the bins regularly.

Thank you for sharing you knowledge and experience :)

great work!! this is a new concept to me, but one that is coming at the perfect time. we have waaaay too much organic matter for the worms and i think we need some method to cool them off. they've been getting too hot and wet for us to maintain easily. will study this method/your post more! we have a lot on our plate right now, but really love aligning with the worms. resteemed @the-hearth, @mountainjewel's earth-centered curation. thanks @quochuy, glad to see a post from ya! :)

this is amazing. I'm bookmarking this to come back to as a project. I've never been very successful at worm farming and I think it's because it gets a bit hot and I forget about them. I'd really like to give it anohter go, and this is the best set up I've ever seen. Thanks for sharing! Resteeming!

I wonder if you have tried using [EM-1 bokashi](http://www.teraganix.com/category-s/932.htm) to speed up the composting process.
I have used them and they work well and it smells nice kinda sweet.

Teraganix is the only place I know you can purchase them I have been using them for more than 7 years with good results.  I want to try to build a big bin and use both worms and the Em-1
Great Post thanks for sharing it!

Made a worm box last year. Have a pond on our farm and find it easier to get the worms from the worm box then digging for them when the grandkids visit. Boy do they get excited when the hook into one.

Keep up with the great work :) and thanks for sharing!

Thank you for all of the great info! It's ultra generous for you to provide the plans and all. Upvoted and followed!

Hello @quochuy, thank you for this great information=)  I am in the same situation with some smaller worm bins and was thinking about doing something like this..  I was wondering if you thought a bin like this could survive a cold winter outdoors?  If not, do you think it smells more than the smaller bins or would attract bugs positioned indoors?

Greetings again Huy=)
  I wanted to say thanks for your inspiration from this post!   I had some time this weekend to build a CFT system from some of the info you provided.  I made mine a little differently but same concept... check out [my post here](https://steemit.com/vermicomposting/@guanyu/steem-spiration-post-diy-worm-compost-barrel) if you have time, let me know what you think!
