Thank you Sandra!! It's great to be back in real time with my worms & my videos! I loved your final garden tour of your house of 34 years! Thanks so much for all your support!!🪱🪱🪱
That shredder your mom was using swallowed that huge piece of cardboard no sweat 👍🏻 I especially like all the large-chunk cardboard tubes and spoiled paper products going in the way they do, whole. Great check-in - and nice haul of castings
Thanks AV! That shredder is legit! Best gift I ever bought her; now she shreds all the cardboard instead of bringing it to me whole & filling up my garage. I was pretty excited to see how well they did with all the tubes and paper towels over time...and without me misting it! Just goes to show our worms hardly need us! Thanks for taking the time to watch & comment!!🪱🪱🪱
Thanks Joe!! I think it's about 40% or maybe that's just my old age hoping I have another 60% of recovery!!😂🤣😂 Thanks so much for stopping by to watch!!🪱🪱🪱
Hi Patrick and Autumn, Nice to see you back in full force 💪❤️💪 Imagine Oranges and onion all over earth 🌎 if the worms 🪱 said Yuck 🤮...😂 Your Mom is the best 👌 So is the Executive Producer ❤ Nice Harvest 🪱💩🪱 ❤Peggy❤
Yep, gotta get my strength back so I can harvest my worm bins!! They are going crazy over the scraps...They p[robably thought I put them on a diet!! Thanks so much for watching Mikko!!🪱🪱🪱
Great to see you're back and that your shoulder has healed. Strength will come back soon, I'm sure. My arm is also fine again, just started working again yesterday after having been on sick leave for three months. There's also a biiiiiig harvest of pure castings waiting for me now. :)
So good to hear your arm is doing better! I'm still not happy with my mobility & strength but they told me full recovery will come in 1 year!!??!!? But with all this time off it is fun seeing all the castings we are getting in time for the gardening season. Great to hear from you!! Thanks so much for watching!!🪱🪱🪱
An Idea to loosen the castings from the sides of the bin. Attach a 2" plastic paint scraper to some type of handle long enough to get to the bottom of the bag, and just run it along the inside of the bag, might work. Nice continuous flow of black gold, awesome harvest. I gave two plantings of garlic a healthy top dressing of worm castings a few weeks ago, one planting I did not. The ones that got the worm castings are at least 3" taller, BOOM. Looks like your shoulders mobility is pretty darn good, will take a bit of time to get back to full strength. In the process of harvesting one of the 50 gal grow bags. Super lazy method, actually, I just removed the bubble wrap and left them alone for about 3 weeks now. As the castings dry they are going deeper in the bag, will post a video. This time of year with keeping everything alive in the grow room and springtime garden projects, the worms are on autopilot. I actually gave the bins some fresh garden comfrey the other day. Good you pointed out the number of worms in your bin to handle that huge feeding. Stay Well!!!
Hi Brian, That is a great idea to get the castings off the sides! That's pretty great results with your garlic. I love a good super lazy method of harvesting!!! Sounds like a slow version of the agitation method. Comfrey processed through worms has to make for superb castings!! The shoulder is going ok, even though It looked like I could move it well, I'm in constant pain & like you said, no strength. They said full recovery is a year, so I should be happy with my 2 1/2 month progress but I am pretty active so I'm still frustrated...but enough complaining!! Thanks so much for watching Brian!!🪱🪱🪱
Thank you!! It's been hard to edit videos and dig around in my worm bins these past few months, but I'm functional (barely) now!! Thanks for the well wishes and thanks so much for watching!!🪱🪱🪱
Looking good! Glad to see you are doing well after your surgery. I put cement blocks under each corner of my UWB. I have bad shoulders and maybe a few years on you and found that getting under the bag to take care of business a pain. You may not be able to use the same tub but I found a good storage tote that works well.
Thank you! I'm crowding 50 and I may need to use your cinder block idea after this pathetic try ar harvesting😂🤣😂 I just keep forgetting how useless and weak my arm is right now...I'm hoping It gets looser and stronger over the next several months. Thanks for passing on how you manage your UWB with bad shoulders! And of course thanks so much for watching!!🪱🪱🪱
Hi Patrick and Autumn, good to see you back 😀Those worms have done a great job in the UWB. Good amount of castings for the garden. Nice to see your marine tank. I used to lose hours looking at the hard and soft corals and watching all the fish and critters in my tanks. Have fun, Mark : )
😂🤣😂 Yes!! Soooo many hours lost staring into that Aquarium!! That one is mostly corals with a clown and mandarin fish. We have another smaller saltwater tank with 4 fish and an anemone.....And we have a 35 gallon fresh water tank...that's what happens when you raise a Marine Biologist for a son! The worms did great in my absence! I was really impressed with how much castings were left & how little bedding compared to what I put in! Thanks so much for watching Mark!!🪱🪱🪱
Thank you Ron!! After this pathetic try at a harvest I think I need to get it off the ground like you said. I have a few cinder blocks, I was thinking of putting them on, but maybe I add plywood over the top of them so I can keep my mortar tray close to the bottom. Thanks for the idea & thanks so much for watching!!🪱🪱🪱
She is a lunatic!! That video of her was cut and sped up. She and my dad raised 5 of us and she still has as much energy now as she did back then! Smartest thing I ever did for my worm bins was get her a shredder!!😂🤣😂 Thanks so much for watching Laura!!🪱🪱🪱
You read my mind!! I was thinking of doing just that! Here are few videos where I show a little of what I do with them: ruclips.net/video/WMVNEk57ORs/видео.html ruclips.net/video/Q-Lfcsx0xUM/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/jSbdh7e_D04/видео.html but I would like to make a comprehensive video of all the things I do with worm castings! It will take me a while but I will eventually make one!! Thanks so much for watching!!🪱🪱🪱
Thank you Ann!! They really made me happy to see them again in soooo much castings! They should be happy worms now with all this food again! Thanks so much for taking the time to watch and comment!!🪱🪱🪱
@@Vermicompost Can I borrow your Mom to do some shredding for me? 😂 That was cute. Cool Mom! My worms are major ready for more cardboard bedding. Their activity has major accelerated lately.
Those worms look pretty chunky for being on foraging since your surgery…. Hopefully the castings you have got out have more microbes over all, as I’ve red that the more they are processed the higher amount of poop and less vermicast…. So overall better for the garden. So I have been told.
Yes, I was pretty impressed with how good they looked after more than 2 months! After the initial inch or so of dry castings the rest seemed nice and moist and very processed! You are correct, my garden is going to love them! Thanks so much for watching Cheryl!!🪱🪱🪱
I know, it felt like I got 68 days worth of feeding in there!! I'm happy to report they are devouring it!! Those cranberries appearing and taxes are the two sure things in life right now!! Thanks so much for watching Rick!!🪱🪱🪱
I haven't in a while. When the bin was new and I was trying to keep the bedding moist, I used to mist it and I'd occasionally see some liquid down there. But now I just use the food scraps to keep the bin moist. I think the fact that there is a lot of worm castings in it now that the bin has aged and since I don't add any more moisture, I'm able to prevent moisture from leaking out. We are in the Tampa Florida area so it is always pretty humid outside. If I was in Oklahoma or Texas I'd have to mist & I still wouldn't get liquid in the bottom. Of course that is my goal, to keep it dry down there. But if you like to collect leachate, misting and using damp bedding will get you in that direction for sure! Thanks so much for watching!!🪱🪱🪱
Thank you!! I was real happy with how many soiled paper towels and napkins they ate over the 68 days! I think if I had more food in there they would have gotten rid of all of them. Thanks so much for stopping by to watch!!🪱🪱🪱
