They also stack without covers too... but your wiggliers might escape. I'm guessing those are tight pans (without holes in the bottle corners) they make decent pots or raised gardens tooa

Ah same size as my 30 gallon, but just shallower. I have the same dimensions except the depth of mine is 14" deep.
Knew that it looked about the same size

Lids are primarily to keep light out...We initially used them for wicking beds, but they are a little too shallow.
It just occurred to me what you are saying...if they stack with opposing ends (diff grooves) they stack w/o lids? That's kind of amazing (and something that never occurred to me
)I am too lazy to go outside and test this right now, but if so it gives me an idea. I have way more bottoms than lids because lids are almost same price (and I didn't need them initially). But if I can stack these in a dark place...like a root cellar...(insert mind blown emoji)
Yep just turn and stack.... I grew up in a small fishing community tossed lots of these around

Funny, I've done it often... just not intentionally/knowingly...

Fuck thaaat!! 75#I need to call and ask...they just sell them at the local fishery store. The only thing that matters is they are the max weight I can handle...and that is just shifting/sliding. Full of VC they probably weigh around 75lb.
They can handle alot of weight... 100lbs no prob.

Nice worm bins! Those might be easier for me to handle than the 30 gallons we picked up. I'm a lot weaker than Van lol
They are a bit awkward to handle by yourself. But they are tough, drag and bang them around no problem.
Thats why we lift em together! Too much for you to handle yourself and too dangerous for me to try and move it with my back by itself.
Perfect for 2 people.
Yep....LOL....I used to be picking up and tossing around batteries weighing 100 lbs a pop......those days are gone I fear.

True, which is why I put 2x on a pallet and use the tractor!
Well, I tried the reverse stack today and 1) it does indeed stack w/o lids and 2) I think that would work well with worms in a semi-dark place. Maybe even outside with a tarp bungeed over it. They avoid the light so that would keep them from crawling around. I have about 40 of these and I didn't want to buy lids for them @$17 a pop, but now I have serious options...
@Itibitiguy , if there was a 420 Tip of the Week...I would nominate you!
Thanks... I'll be possible starting a small worm farm if I can acquire a more pans. Where would I get little red wiggliers to?
