@@DrewCreate hey we love it! We are really focusing on natural amendments and the kit seemed like a great idea as we’ve been doing it as a service in our city! We work with them now to provide our worm castings when they transplant trees to increase survivability. Reach out if you have any questions, cheers

@@washibonsai5307 that is super interesting, we’d love to chat/help if you have any questions! We saw you grow bonsai trees, are you going to be making vermicompost for the trees specifically? We do different mixes in terms of what we feed our worms depending on destination and plant requirements/needs!

@@BackToEarthWorks yes I would love to chat with you. Bonsai are one of my projects, permaculture design is another. Will message you ❤️🐪

@@NanasWorms hey Nana, thank you so much for taking the time to not only watch, but to leave a lovely comment as well!

Thanks for checking us out!

We are in Indiana and we use a soil scientist up in Michigan I believe (I'm just the marketing side of our company so I can't say for sure) If you want to shoot us an email (ourbrandname)@gmail we can forward you her information

Here is a link for testing. She does a great job, knows her stuff well, and is reasonably priced compared with others. pottfarms.com/products/soil-biology-testing

We were doing this, we had a connection to a some local restaurants and were collecting food scraps, unfortunately a lot of food that comes out of restaurants is super processed, it took a lot of time and effort to gather scraps every week, and we didn't see as good of results as when we adjusted our feed mix

Fish emulsion is different from hydrolosate, or however it's spelled

@@dribblingdrooler3616 Correct! Fish hydrolysate is a liquid made from fish parts, like heads and bones, that are left over after processing. The parts are ground up and broken down using natural enzymes, which turn the fish proteins into smaller pieces. This resulting liquid is typically very rich in nutrients like proteins, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals

@BackToEarthWorks right on! I use leaf mold from my woods to help with the process. I fully enjoyed your video and had to subscribe. Thanks for the knowledge.

We definitely took Elaine's course and we were at a conference a few weeks ago where we got to chat with Liz Haney a bunch which was awesome

@@hobbyplans we have small holes in our bags so the biology can breathe! We ship our kits in boxes but there’s no issues with any of the vermicompost falling through the holes

@@BackToEarthWorks thank you I am impressed with your setup especially only heating the worm area.

@@hobbyplans definitely easier so keep the space sealed off since the barn is so big, only have to heat a small area in the winter! Thanks for checking us out!

If you let it age as he was doing then run it through the worms very little seeds will make it. When I used to use horse manure in my process I did thermophilic compost it first to destroy weed seeds and to kill potential pathogens. I had to stop using horse manure because much of the local feed stock are tainted with persistent herbicide which does not break down in a compost pile fast enough. I really like his process here, not enough vermicomposting is done with leaves on youtube. Leaves are gold ✨️💛👌

@@Soilfoodwebwarrior we are hoping to source from regenerative farms in the future but we use a local farmer who really takes care of his animals and sources his feed from other locals. We had an incredible trip to a regenerative farm recently and it opened our eyes. We are always learning, growing, and adjusting what we do and we are excited to see so many awesome comments and responses from the community we are hoping to build as well! Thanks for taking the time to reply!

@@Soilfoodwebwarrior bingo baby

It definitely helps to be able to store moving up, we use less space for the temp controlled rooms, which means less equipment goes into maintaining the temp, less spending overall

I've heard of people building racks that they can slide totes in and out for handling by hand. Same concept smaller size

We try to keep the climate control simple. Just a space heater plugged into a timer plug that sits inbetween two of the worm bin stacks. We set the timer to run the heater generally for an hour every other hour and that typically keeps it about 60 degrees F inside the climate control room.

@nicksorg170 So, essentially you build a shell/frame to accommodate a stack of bins 3 high & 2 wide, then skin it with reflective foam board? If you could tell us more about dimensions & materials, that would help...Also brand & wattage of heater. (I did something like this with a Johnson-Su Bioreactor, but lost it to freezing when an ice storm took out power for 3 days. No back-up power. A JSB is essentially a big stand-up worm bin. RIP worms. 😭)

@@flatsville9343 I'll make sure he sees this and gets back to you

You got it right, lumber frame with reflective foam boards, the thicker the better, seal them with insulating tape. Dimensions can be whatever you need them to be. If our power ever went out that would be a problem, never thought of that haha. Guess we'll have to get a generator in case. As for the heater I don't have specifics on brand or wattage. Whatever the most efficient electric heater you can get from a Menards or big box store will do the trick. The worm bins do a good job of capturing the introduced heat from the space heater. Just make sure it is sized appropriately for your climate control room.

We were actually at a regenerative farm a few weeks ago and they farmed next to a 'traditional' farm and the differences were night and day

Oh my gosh thanks so much for checking us out!

Thank you so much!

Hey there you can visit us online it's our (brand name) dot com. We sell two sizes of vermicompost bags at the moment but we are mostly focused on our regenerative kit, our vermicompost is just a portion of that!
