Love the topic!!! WTG! Very important to protect home gardens from those wanting to pass laws to stop them. If worm composting can give us the upper hand we will take it!
I have not read the report about home gardens but I've heard several people mention it. I am not self-sufficient but I grow what I can and can what I grow. In my humble opinion those labeling home gardeners as the ones destroying the planet are at best ill informed, at worst power-hungry controller who want the nation to be dependent on big brother.
Very interesting subject. I compare the carbon footprint to lifestyle. Doing one thing, like exercising won't keep you healthy, if you over eat junk food, smoke, drink etc...While I don't put too much stock into the environmental movement hysteria, I like to live a clean lifestyle. So I don't eat any animal products and I compost with worms. Just like I also eat healthy, exercise, don't smoke or drink daily, get good sleep and hydrate with clean water. It's a combination of things, not just one thing. That's how I see the carbon footprint subject.
I 100% agree. If everyone held themselves to the lifestyle of responsibility the world would be a better place. I miss your channel. I loved the experiments. 👍🏼🪱😁
The other thing that seemed to not be taken into account is that yes, farmers may be able to create crops with a lower Carbon footprint. But then, they need to be shipped to distribution warehouses, then shipped to local supermarkets etc. Also, here in Australia, around 50% of that crop is rejected by supermarkets - a shocking number indeed. I don't know what the US number might be. Look, I studied economics and know that the same statistics can be used to show totally different outcomes. Keep growing and composting folks.
i've been doing vermicomposting for 3 years just for the fun of it. Adding this to my starters and my garden has make a great difference. much less a factor than the semi's that i dispatch everyday. please understand nothing has come to your house without trucking but i believe if i can stop it here thats at least the best i can do.
Exactly. The issue from the perspective of climate change is the use of fossil fuels, not worms exhaling carbon dioxide. An important distinction I remember hearing years ago is between "increased carbon emissions" (BAD) and the natural "carbon cycle" (PERFECTLY FINE): The climate has changed a number of times over the course of our planet's history, but the climate that is healthy for humans and other organisms that have evolved to our time period came to be, in large part, because the greenhouse gases that were naturally present during the time of the dinosaurs got buried under layers and turned into deposits of coal and oil, binding up a lot of the carbon that had been in the atmosphere. When humans burn those deposits, we release that carbon back into the atmosphere, essentially turning our planet back into the world that was healthy for the dinosaurs and the organisms that lived at their time, not for us and our present planetmates. The carbon cycle, on the other hand, is when plants take in carbon dioxide, binding up carbon to make their cells and releasing oxygen gas as waste, then animals eat the plants and reverse the process by taking in oxygen, binding it with carbon, and releasing carbon dioxide as waste. None of it is really wasted, just recycled over and over, and none of it hangs around changing the climate. In a similar way, cutting down trees to make cardboard that we feed to worms that release carbon dioxide while growing the same number of trees that bind up carbon and release oxygen the worms can breathe is part of the carbon cycle, not increasing net carbon emissions If we use all the fossil fuels available on the planet and don't rebind up the carbon released from them, then we will, inevitably, turn the atmosphere and thus the climate back into what it was at the time those fossil deposits were laid down, and that's not the world our bodies evolved for. (We will also release particulates and other byproducts of combustion into the atmosphere, which the dinosaurs didn't evolve for, either. Even wood smoke has issues that can affect health.) Once we learn to distinguish between carbon cycle (PERFECTLY FINE) and increased carbon emissions (VERY VERY BAD), we can freak out about the right things, not just every time we hear the word "carbon".
It shouldn’t be surprising the length those in power will go to in order to maintain control and power over our lives-but then news of this study appeared. Sheesh. One positive side effect of composting/worm composting is being able to see (in 5 gallon bucketfuls) just how much food my family throws out! It’s changing the way I shop, prepare meals, store food and even my food choices. If everyone started their crusades by making changes in their own lives first- wow-what a real difference we could make! ❤
How do you feel about vermiculture bins being state regulated as livestock like the honeybees are. What I have heard is the the gardeners are way less of a problem than the commercial farmers and why if you look around you will start to see much less plowing and much more cover crops being planted now that the farmers are getting paid to reduce their carbon footprint. I like to find substrates from my local environment to use in my bins in order to reduce my carbon footprint. There is going to be a huge shift soon now that the agriculture world is switching over to microbial farming.
I agree. I see way more cover crops than the last 10 years. So far where I am worms are not regulated if it is not a commercial business. The bee thing is real. I can't have them where I live.😏🪱👍🏼
Collecting rainwater,growing your own food and composting/vermicompsting is a net positive for are environment No one could change my mind on that.More and more of us are not adding poison . Thank for your amazing channel I’ve learned so much and have been running a worm bin for six months now.
@@PlantObsessed I just started a worm bin and it’s been a challenge. Due to where I live I can’t ship in worms. So I have to rely on catching worms in bags of topsoil from Home depot 😅 or from my compost pile. I hope they are composting worms. Any advice?
@@marvinmonaghanjust a helping hand if I may offer, I know they will be in compost piles- red wigglers, and manure piles- not fresh ones but older piles. If that helps. I’m sure wherever you are you would be able to access composting worms…. Maybe ask about
It’s great to be as self sufficient as possible. Less costly inputs into the garden, and being able to reuse or compost materials helps to close the loop. Have a great week Ann!
@06:35... I'm sure it was unintentional - but it seemed perfectly timed when you made that big exhale sound when you finished discussing the comparison of methane off-gassing of landfills compared to the 'breathing out' of CO2 done by the wormies 👍🏻
I don't have the space, nor the means to compost all of my household's paper and cardboard. However, I definitely recycle whatever our city accepts. Because unfortunately, putting a non recyclable item in a recycling bin is much worse than simply putting it in the trash. Because it may get melted, crushed or shredded which may release harmful chemicals; or it may break into much smaller pieces of trash.
Great video. I recommend videos by an aussie, Walter Jehne. and others who posit that only ~ 3% of green house gases come from fossil fuels. We should definitely reduce our use of FF, but ~ 40% of GHGasses come from land management. Photosynthesis is the answer, by growing plants on otherwise bare ground, thus putting carbon in the soil and plant tissues. Tilling and fallowing does the opposite. Cover crops, reforestation and desert reduction will take carbon out of the air, not just reduce the amount being put in.
I wouldn’t put too much stock into the idea of a “carbon footprint”. Indeed, the entire concept and attached phrase of “individual carbon footprint” was coined by BP to place the spotlight onto individuals in the wake of their disastrous deep water horizon oil spill. Individual carbon emissions are so heavily dependent on systemic structures such as efficient public transit or lack thereof, industrial practices and associated regulations, and above all, US militarism, as the US military is the single biggest polluter on the planet in terms of both carbon as well as a whole host of other forms of industrial pollution, and none of those systemic contributors to humanity’s carbon footprint will be substantively impacted by focusing on individual footprints when public investments in things like high speed rail would markedly reduce the individual footprints of hundreds of millions of people at a time.
We do everything we can to reduce our carbon footprint. Besides composting, growing much of our vegetables and fruit, we keep travel going from A to B by a vehicle to a minimum. No traveling to places much for pleasure. And we only buy necessities. Why everyone else is not doing similar is a head scratcher, in light of where we are heading.
Another thing you can do to reduce your footprint in two different ways soap involves. If you have any leftover cooking oil, or dripping you can make a basic recipe. And if you have old, broken or low quality bar soap, instead of throwing it away you can drop it into a sewer from the street. It helps clean because the soap helps remove oil and grime from within the sewer system.
The original students thesis was cherry picked and trashed by the media. They took the parts about building materials and raised beds in isolatation, which the author suggests can be poor carbon producing practice. The media ignored any references to food miles, decreased landfill material and mental and physical health qualities. In reality the good practices far outways the bad. Carbon neutral is a governmental tax raising agenda that has no environental impact whatsoever. This year I start my 60th year home gardening and have worked on farms also. In that time have have seen the impact that intensive farming has had on bee, insect and bird populations. Home gardeners are addressing this problem by reducing the use of pesticides and herbicides, this has a knock-on effect of reducing leaching into waterways.
I WISH WHEN THEY BLEW UP THE NEW RUSSIAN GAS PIPE THAT CAUSED ENVIRONMENT DISASTER FOR MONTHS THEY WOULD THINK ABOUT THE CARBON PRINT....BUT THEY DIDN'T.
Shitty designed research results in results that can be easily misinterpreted. By people focusing on shitty research...you give a platform to them. The best one can do is ignore them.
Most definitely. Soaking makes it very easy to shred but it will greatly influence moisture in your bins. If you feed a lot of fruit vege scraps things could get too moist dry coco coir and or dry shredded leaves can be used to adjust moisture
I soak it in a bucket of rainwater that was previously used to soak dry autumn leaves and while I watch TV at night I tear them into little pieces with my hands. It works great for single wall cardboard like cereal boxes as it allows me to peel off the outer layer of printed paper and process that separately. I then mix the cardboard with leaves and bark and straw and any other things around to make bedding.
I live in Calgary Alberta which is right beside the mountains. There’s already talk that there is going to be major drought this year. By making my own compost, worm castings and gardening, I am actively using my own resources to reduce water consumption by covering the soil with compost while also reducing my carbon footprint. I also have to pay for water, so it’s a win-win-win.
Well the our wonderful Weather experts told us we would have a Catastrophic Summer in Victoria Australia. Hasn't happened yet only 3 weeks of Summer to go
I'm 😢 always amazed by how dry her worm bin is - but it works and works well. I always go in and try to reduce the moisture in my bin after each of her videos
One way of biological carbon sequestering is in composting, vermicomposting certainly falls into that category. Gardening in Canada put out this video, ruclips.net/video/7xCeMvNSinY/видео.htmlsi=ue6p2BM2hVJNfEbX take a look. Another thing I look at is the impact my single garden has had in the natural world around our home. Four years ago I took our side lawn and turned it into a vegetable and flower garden. There were no monarch butterflies, hummingbirds, toads, bees, beneficial pollinators, hawks I could go on and on. Anyone who believes organic gardening and raising worms are bad for our environment in my opinion, are just wrong, on many levels. Thanks for the video! Stay Well!!!
I love her channel. My yard is the same. When I came here there was 1 tree. Now there are 20. About 3/4 of my yard is planted for the wildlife. Hostas, geranium, columbine, thistle have made the biodiversity bloom here. I have my own bumble bee ground hive that comes back every year. 🪱😁🪱👍🏼
@@PlantObsessed That is what I am talking about. I love my bumblebees, I put out tied up bamboo for the solitary bees as well, it is really cool when they use them. Anyone saying home gardens, even if they use conventional fertilizers are bad for the planet is WRONG!!! Just the natural fauna they support is worth it. Our planet needs more people like you and I to combat big Ag. I am going to make a Chickadee hat this year. Just a baseball cap with a little seed pocket on the bill the chickadees can come to. I have had chickadees eat out of my hands, shoulders wont allow that any longer. Stay Well!!!

Do roly-polies or millipedes compete with the worms at all? Or just helpful friends?
