Jeepers that’s a lot of worms!!🪱 ❤

I can’t see….

Great looking vermi bags 🇳🇿🪱

Hey Bobby, great video. I noticed your clipboards for documentation. I know I struggled with how to document the worms. It seems very few people have a video of this subject. I've built a spreadsheet that has input fields for what I think is needed and from what little I could find on RUclips. Its good BUT I still have not got into the habit of inputting data like I should. Do you think sometime you could do a fast video on how you document and the data you collect? Do you take your sheet and input into a computer later? I know I'm not the only one struggling on effective documentation.

Very creative design, Bobby! ~ Sandra

Great update video my friend 🇳🇿🪱

Hi Bobby! Thanks for the explanations ❤. I’ve got a question 😊. If someone has their bin inside in a cooler room (unheated basement, garage, shed, house room) and it’s a regular bin vs your deep totes or Sandra’s large turtle bin, would you recommend keeping the heat mat on top? I’m thinking a less deep, less large bin will dry out much quicker with the mat under it instead of on top…? Even for cocoon bins? To reduce the chance of accidental drying out? A smaller bin would also have way less area/material that isn’t getting some heat benefit from the mat, right? So on top would still heat most of the bin…? You pointed out the benefit of having open areas around the heat mat too. Will this allow the worms, including wisps, to find where they are most temperature comfortable? I guess that was way more than one question! I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge and experience with heat mats! They’re not something I have need for here in Deep South Florida!! 🪱

Thanks Bobby. I have a thermostatically controlled mat under Gilligan, my turtle shaped worm bin. It probably only covers 1/4 of the bottom of the bin (it is outside the bin on the bottom). But, you explained things in a way that made me understand more about what's going on with heat and humidity. ~ Sandra

Hey!!! Buddy!! How are you?

I’m going to try the heat mats on my worm egg bins the might hatching all similar times maybe 🇳🇿🪱

Excellent advice to limit the controllers to 2 heat mats. And great tip about placing cardboard on top to dissipate the heat across the worm bin surface 👍. Now I almost wish I needed heat mats 😂🪱

Good video, Bobby. A few people made tragic mistakes with overheating heat pads or food composting on their bins. I also always use a thermostat to ensure I don't get into problems. ~ Sandra

Good video Bobby. Thanks

Grand Son or Grand Daughter ?

Your worms look amazing! You’re definitely going to have castings to use / sell come Spring. It’s amazing how hard worms work. When’s your grandson due to arrive? How exciting!

My worms are in 7 bins in a 40-degree basement waiting for spring. I may put a heat mat on some of them in a week or two. This morning it was -14-degrees outside, and I do not want to wake them too early. Wisconsin

0 Degree F here tonight. I'm done with winter and ready to move on to Spring and better weather. I have had my European worms for a month and I haven't seen a single cocoon. Is that normal to not see cocoons for a month after setting up and they were nice mature worm? I'd really like to get enough worms for fishing and feeding my chickens.

When spring hits u will have plenty of worms to sell 🇳🇿🪱

BEAUTIFUL Rottie, Bobby.

Hi Bobby, my heat mat is underneath my large outdoor bin (Gilligan). I keep a thermostat on it so the temperature doesn't run out of control. I started my RUclips channel to show my granddaughter my worms - now we have three grandchildren. Best time of my life! Congratulations 🎉 🥳 ~ Sandra

Can't wait for spring! Garen and worms!

M My 1st ever 1 pound of reds I thought I bought from everyone's favorite Uncle on Amazon around Thanksgiving 2024 (Hell I was a newbie worm person), I got the dreaded mix!!! I didn't realize this then, My wife saw I had added them to my Amazon list and bought me 4 more pounds from them for Christmas 2024. I now have 5000+ mix bin. Fn POS seller!!! Don't care how big they are, they are taking ADVANTAGE of newbies tryin' to learn. Make a fast buck and forget the customer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just bought 1000 cocoons from Rockin Worms. They showed up today. They are going into a new 27 gallon bin and in the near future they will go into a new DIY 2x2x4 CFT with cutting bar and a shoot that directs cuttings to a 5 foot conveyor belt to remove castings to a bin. These fool companies that claim REDS and you get a mix, THEY have forgotten or never cared, they just want the $$$$! THEY take ADVANTAGE of the newbies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi, I was just on the phone with Jayne at Rockin Worms. She told me about you and this page. I just got cocoons from her. She told me that you used heat pads. I have 3 pads for my seed germination every year. I want to use one for my new cocoons. The room that they will be in stays at 65 in the winter. My heat mat has a digital temp setting. What would you say would be the perfect temp to set so they cocoons think it's time to hatch if they are ready? I just subscribed here, new next rabbit hole for videos to watch! lol

As a born in Michigan girl, moved to FLORIDA 40 years ago, snow can actually protect your worms. Pack it around. Hay, and straw helps too. Good luck!

Also-do you sell ENC?

I’m in Weeki Wachee FL and it’s 59 as I type….

Did you get snow?

Thank god for heat mats the worms are loving them

It’s definitely a pro tip! Now if I could only find a cool mat for my hot summers!! Thanks for sharing Bobby! ❤🪱

Looks like you may get another turn come Saturday.

Awesome job buddy, love those bags

Nice worm bags very healthy 🇳🇿🪱

Ahhh, the spring worm cocoon explosion is not far off! ~ Sandra

Aweso.e

Those worm melon balls were terrific, Bobby! ~ Sandra

CANT wait to see it in action 🇳🇿🪱

Moving up......see of you can attach a variable speed hole hog to it

Have you ever had raccoons get into your bins? I saw years ago that one outdoor farm have a real problem with them. Just found your channel and subbed #387sub. I just started two tote bins of Europeans for my personal use for fishing in mid December so I am pretty new. I have plenty of oak leaf litter/leaf mold for bedding along with some chicken house dust (dry dropping dust and feed feed dust) from my 5 bantams I can use to feed them occasionally. Not sure how much of that is permissible so I just sprinkled a little on the top an mixed it in to begin with. I don't want to "burn" them. They seemed to like it when I left one small corner on top and they came up to eat it. I have a cover crop of oats on my garden and used some in my one bed along with some frost killed comfrey leafs. I look forward to watching your videos and gaining some insight into my small worm farm.

In the new year I’ve made a new website site for worms and start selling more composting worms and breeding European nightcrawler for bait crawlers for bait also .love your worm set up and I also find my worms relaxing good for the mind hope the new year brings u peace and good health 🇳🇿🪱

Those are some fantastic looking worms! 🪱 ❤

Keep worming

Worms are looking great my friend 🇳🇿🪱

Hey buddy hope your doing good man keep worming 🪱🪱🪱

What a fun video! Love it! ❤🪱🪱

So many beautiful, healthy worms! Nice job!

I can’t believe you have heat on the worms! We are just having the first nice days here in the mid 80s❤. Overcast and windy but so much better than the mid 90s just last week 😳🙄. Your worms are so happy 😊🪱

What are you using yo heat your worm bins? Heat tape? I was also going to do the same thing this winter

Hi Bobby! Thanks for the shout out! I have cocoons for anyone that wants some 😂. So glad yours are doing so great! ❤🪱

Hey Bobby! The worms look great! Looks like you got a great hatch rate from those cocoons you got from me ❤ I love seeing how they’re growing 😍. Thanks for the update 🥰
