My mom and son freeze their food scraps and bring them to me periodically frozen for my worms! My son has his own VermiHut so I don't get as much from him. That is pretty amazing how ANC's love their cardboard!! Excellent video Ann!!!🪱🪱🪱
My son also has his own worm bin now. In fact, he sometimes comes and steals my scraps come this winter. He's going to have to figure it out on his own without all the garden leftovers there won't be enough for both of us. 🪱👍🏼😃
I have created a monster. If he can hear my voice he has the god-given right to be right next to me. Unfortunately that room is also home to the cat that he loves to chase. Which is bad for the lighting equipment. Lol. That is why the ANC videos are so short. 🪱👍🏼😃
One of these days I've gotta try applying a huge amount of bedding like this. Perhaps not a full 5 gallons - since my VermiBag is not a vary large-sized one - but something more than I usually apply :)
I think yours is a mini right? I believe that is 1/4 the size of mine. Considering how you harvest yours it might make things harder for you. Either way the worms will love it 🪱👍🏼😃
Actually... the next time I harvest the VermiBag Mini I'll likely do it the proper way, by expelling finished material out the bottom through the harvest panel 👍🏻
Just yesturday my sister said her office has shredded paper as they're moving. I told her fill her trunk and back seat and bring for me. I'm serious 😂😂
Was just going to mention about the plastic too! Staples somehow disappear, but plastic is forever 💍. Manageable, just annoying because you end up having to pick/soft it out at the end. I stopped taking shredded paper from work for this reason 😢
I had to redo and edit out most of his drama. If he can hear my voice it is his God given right to be next to me. That is why the ANC videos are so short. Lol.😃👍🏼🪱
If liquid then I add it to the water to wet the cardboard. If it is the powder I mix it in the paper before I add the water. About one handful per 5 gallon bucket.😃👍🏼🪱
@@PlantObsessed thank you! Ordered some to try but this just makes so much sense. Just started my bins a couple months ago. My wigglers are amazing but so far the Africans don't seem as voracious as all the videos I have seen. They are chonky though and got them later so maybe just being impatient.
I usually avoid freezer food cardboard because it can be laminated with plastic... But you can see the pizza box in there. Lol. The gloss is often a clay substance. 👍🏼🪱😃

Love the puppy serenade!

Awesome Ann! Glad the worm mat is breaking down. Great moist feeding the ANCs should have a ball with that feeding. 😁🪱
Fingers crossed!🪱👍🏼😃

I love your 4 and 5 gallon addition of bedding ! I am thinking of starting a "Blue" for myself. :-)
You won't regret it. It is my favorite system. 😃👍🏼🪱
@@PlantObsessed What is average temp in you basement during winter months ?
@@davidhumphrey171 65 f unless it is very cold then down to 55f
@@PlantObsessed Thank You for the info.

One word of warning. People shred envelope windows. That plastic is a pain in the butt to remove. If you don't mind then I say go for it.👍🏼🪱😃

How do you add the kelp meal to the bedding? Would love to try that.

So I presume it's also not true that paper/card that's coloured and shiny should not go in your worm bin. (just watched the myth vid)
