    A CLASSIC CWL SERIES, REVISITED- THE PREMISE:
    One of my first successful and popular series on RUclips was The Forbidden 🚫 Foods Experiment. So many resources tell us conflicting information on what can and cannot or should/should not be given to our worms.
    My personal opinion is that if we make composting sound like it has too many rules, we are cutting down on likely “converts” to the hobby. I aim to show that in moderation (as with all things in life) it’s pretty hard to cause any harm, regardless of what you feed.

    UPDATE:
    Holy Wormballs!! Need I say more?
    Pardon my drunk-sounding ramblings. This night-shifter needs a nap!
    MY DRY MIX:
    1. Neem cake: amzn.to/2QtPALv (excellent for bug control)
    2. Diatomaceous Earth: amzn.to/2EaFFVd (grit source and trace minerals- can also be good for bug control if kept dry)
    3. Kelp meal: amzn.to/2EaviAQ (trace minerals)
    4. Oyster Shell: amzn.to/2PgFybM (grit and pH buffer)
    OTHER PRODUCTS I USE:
    Coconut Coir: amzn.to/2IhjNtr
    Peat Moss: amzn.to/2UhpBEI
    Amazon Basics 24 Sheet Shredder: amzn.to/2Ww9vfQ
    Nitrile Gloves (reuse!): amzn.to/2Wzxk6i
    Solo 1-Gallon Hand Sprayer: amzn.to/2LzpjZ6

    Hi Crazy Worm Lady!
    I too spend many nights awake! And the past 18 hours I've been watching YOUR videos, as well as reading your blog! Can I tell you - I REALLY LIKE YOUR STYLE!!
    And so I subscribed. Which I do not do lightly...
    Anyway -
    I just watched the video where you added the onions to the bin! I am on the edge of my seat!! WHAT HAPPENED?!! I'm betting they loved it - my hubby is betting they didn't like it! So now I need you to tell him he is wrong!!! 🤞
    How Long did it take for them to demolish a whole, uncut onion!!
    I am noticing you haven't made a vid in a while, is it possible you're having health issues? I really hope you are ok...
    As someone who does have health issues, I completely understand. We can all wait until you are up to coming back, no worries! We'll all be here!! ♡♡♡
    You just do what you need to do - FOR You.
    Ciao Doll ♡

    Hope you get your fruitfly problem under control soon - I'd hate that indoors.
    All my worm bins are outside and so far, the only infestation I got was ants who decided to make a kamikaze bridge over the small water pots under one
    multi-level bin's legs and take up residence in the worm bin.
    Easily fixed.
    Thanks for the update Emily

      Yes, the flies are a big nuisance but honestly they are mostly isolated to the 2 rooms I keep my bins in. I have vinegar traps everywhere and they aren't nearly as bad as they were a month ago.... so, baby steps... I will take the wins where I can get them.

    Looks awesome ! Put my infested BSF worm bin outside in the Alabama heat about 2 weeks ago. Used a bait box I made to catch a whole bunch of larve. Got rid of them .Then started to just feed leaves/chickn mash .Things were looking good. So I put a banana peel in and boom .Now I have ants and BSF larve fighting it out .Worms dont seem to care I have cocoons showing up and the worms seem content on eating coco coir and leaves.

      As long as the worms seem happy--- that's become my motto to myself lately. Emily, chill out. The flies may be annoying or the beetles may be creepy but they all live happily together in the bin. All is good with the world.I pep talk myself frequently, lol!

    Wonderful update! Looking them like that makes me happy unlike mine. I need your suggestion on mine....as I immaturely added too much greens in my compost (before watching on your videos) my compost bin is full of maggots now. Do you think adding dry mulch and cardbaord will reset the situation?

    • @TheCrazyWormLady
      @TheCrazyWormLady  5 лет назад +3

      Load up as much cardboard as possible to sop up extra moisture and put a healthy 4-6 inches of dry bedding across the entire surface to suffocate out the hatching flies. Starve the bin for 2-3 weeks... let the worms catch up and things will be great!
