    That takes some dedication to sit there and count all those! I don't think I would have the patience to sit there for 2 hours trying to find them all. Great job.

    If you are thinking about raising your own worms... What are you waiting for? You can feed them your food scraps, junk mail, and cardboard to reduce the amount of trash going into a landfill.

      Well it took a lot longer than I expected but I wanted to know for sure how many were there.

    Kudos on the counting. That is a painful task I know all too well! Thanks for the shoutout. Always appreciate your support and I love your channel! Can’t wait to follow the new bigger bin!

      Thanks! It definitely took a lot longer than I thought it would but it was worth it to know how many there are. I guess I'll have to try it with the ANCs next. Thanks for watching and commenting!

    Almost two babies per cocoon. Nice. I may count mine just to see what I have with my original 75 cocoons.

      It's neat knowing how many there are but it took me a lot longer than I thought it would (almost 2 hours).. I might have missed some tiny ones but I went through it pretty well. Thanks for watching and commenting!

    Woo Hoo over 500+ wow. I know i have 360, UWB and a 10 gallon going and all my paper and food scraps go to them. I also have 2 compost bins outside for yard/ chicken waste. It feel good to do our little part plus all the castings for my gardens. Hey great job and your right Emily has the best worms. 😄

      Thanks! I wish I would have started sooner but better late than never. I can't wait to use my castings in the spring to see how much better (hopefully) my garden does. Thanks for watching and commenting!

    I recently started a bin out of 50 red wrigglers. When I got them,, they look small and anorexic lol.. They are starting to become big and healthy. Any tips about mold growing in the bin ?

    • @GrantMcIntosh
      @GrantMcIntosh  4 года назад +2

      Main thing is to stir/mix it up to get some air moving. Mold isn't a bad thing in a worm bin. Just don't want to get out of control.

    Yours look so much fatter and healthier than mine. My medium thus far has been compost, a little paper and coca choir.

      I think they look fatter and healthier than the ones that I got the cocoons from for sure. I used the coir that came with the WF360. Since I couldn't find any locally I bought peat moss. Thanks for watching and commenting!

    Hi great video and lots of patience. Your worms look nice and healthy they are at an age now where they will start producing cocoons now it will boom if you have the time count them again after about 60 days an see the difference in numbers.
    Iam from South Africa and I am in need of African night crawlers either worms or cocoons. If anyone can maybe help me with contact details.
