@@AJsGreenTopics thanks! Agreed, many setups are over complicated.

@@aboxofgrits2418 good deal. Keep up what you’re doing. I agree that they help water percolate, etc. The more organic matter we can drop on the surface the more the crawfish can help in making a new layer of topsoil

@@sondrabradley8040 hey. We add up to 10% by volume a fluffy carbon like composted hardwood chips, etc. Sometimes we’ll sprinkle some layer feed. But mostly it’s 90% coffee grounds

It never gets old…

@@dnawormcastings 🤛

I think it's a bug or worm.

@@curt2742 yes we do. Many parts of the gulf coast will have crawfish well established in areas that are not bodies of water

@@JohnEastmanExAttyAtLaw crawfish aka mudbugs. They’re definitely crawfish

@@grantestrade8062 dang lol

@@matthewdoughty7752 we mix in about 10% by volume hardwood mulch to fluff the coffee and let it go 1 major heat cycle/about 1 month

@grantestrade8062 fantastic! Thanks for the info!

Us to! Stay posted and I’ll share the progress

@@southsidemikevlogs mix with about 10% by volume of a high carbon material like cardboard, wood chips, etc

@grantestrade8062 I did one bucket of coffee grounds and other bucket was vegetables grinded up and the next bucket was carboard

@ that should work

@@lextalionis-u2v thanks for the info! While we come across the larvae all the time in our compost and worms beds this was the first adult found.

@@dnawormcastings it’s big one…

@@dnawormcastings it hit temp very fast. I’ll post that follow up video

@@c.garcia2363 hear you. We’re fairly picky about what we use. For example, anything with hay such has horse stable sweeping we don’t use in our compost/soil business because of the potential for residual herbicides. On the pallets, anything that’s painted/looks like anything but untreated wood is not used. The vast majority of pallets are untreated which is easily observed on how fast the skids start getting consumed by fungi, etc when directly on the ground.

Pallets have stamps that tell you if they're treated.

@@ripdinecola4755 this time of year is tricky as to when to plant rye. I’ve had it dry up to come right back once we started getting moisture. November is a good month to put it out in our area.

@@321homewrecker we don’t move them. Just remove bedding/castings as needed. This is set up for worms more than castings.

@grantestrade8062 ok, you don't ever have to put in fresh bedding? Also how much a set up like that bring in profit for a week?

@@321homewrecker we’re adding new bedding in correlation to when we pull out worms. As for as financials, I’m happy to discuss those things when I’m hired to consult/coach. I charge an avg of $80 per hour. I will say that most folks pushing vermicomposting as a business broadly over-generalize and make it sound like easy money.

@grantestrade8062 strade8062 I'm not needing coaching lessons, I been worming for 20 years. I'm just asking a simple question brother and if anyone was to ask me, I would tell them and even show them. It's Collaboration over Competition over here bro. I never said it was easy, I run continuous flow through and motor trays. It pays all my bills and I also run a bee apiary, I got into it back during 215 when I was working in the cannabis industry during the 90s. It's easy for me because it's my passion... I got tons and tons of casting and use most of it but sell worms and cocoons, I raise 5 different species.

@@321homewrecker good deal

@@WetDorritos445 most of what we’re chopping is invasive so we’re good;)

Thanks! We’re looking good with current Hurricane Helene about to hit FL & GA. Prayers for them. This video was from the recent Hurricane Francine. Except for a few tree a down we did well.

@@ausfoodgarden that’s cool you’re getting so much coffee. I’d use the composted coffee as 1/3 of a bedding mix. The other 2/3 can be an aged carbon with a desirable pH. Here we use aged pine/conifer bark. And yes, the chaff is hydrophobic and needs time for moisture to soak in. Once saturated it will quickly start composting. Honestly it’s a pain to deal with but if you’re receiving it, I’d use it for sure.

@@NanasWorms thanks!

🤛

Appreciate it!

Yup, perennials like crab apples and native persimmon are great for deer..

Thanks! Will do. Trying to get areas seeded asap. Our goal with deer food plots is that if they don’t yield a successful hunt all the effort still improves the pasture areas for our livestock.

@@lesliegrayson1722 if you want to own a commercial hog cafo you do you. Have fun with it…

Composting increases biology which is where the worms get a lot of their nutrients. It’s also physically easier for them to process. As far as temp I’d say in the 70’s F range. Just feed in increments where in won’t cycle back into getting hot

@@vegomatic100 you’ll see an evident change in texture

@@grantestrade8062 Thanks for sharing. What do you use for your carbon component? Also, I meant coffee composted BEFORE the worms get to live in it.

@@vegomatic100 oh, gotcha. We use with pine bark or hardwood mulch as carbon, 10% by volume to 90% coffee grounds. Coffee has almost a perfect c/n ratio as is. We compost coffee for 1 heat cycle/typically 1 month
