Yes! I’ve also found that species affects behavior. Canadian night crawlers (fishing worms lol) act like puppies! They love attention and will wave to you sometimes like “hello my favorite human is here!” (They will be okay if you don’t talk to them like I did but they seem to prefer it) I’m hoping to get some more soon as unfortunately my last two batches died due to temperature.

The worms in the far left section definitely grew bigger faster. Even though cardboard and paper are biodegradable, it does not look yummy on the worms’ diet. 😅

I believe it is healthy to mix. Adding a bit of everything. Then turn it over. But, if your goal is to compost. You don't want bins in the first place. You want net cages or similar that can bring in a lot of oxygen to the soil. You want the bacteria to work more than the worms. Because bacteria process the material far faster and more effectively.
@@Helveteshit I'm not new to composting or worm vermicomposting . I think you're missing the point of this video he made. It's to study worm behavior in different types of material. My worms break down material way faster than any compost pile will. In this video he isn't feeding any vegetables and the bins don't have a full population of worms yet. Once they breed an army they can take down a huge amount of material in very little time
i can tell you, i have a worm box in my kitchen. there once was a dead worm in it, and little white mites ate it up. the worms, i think, did not mind, but the white mites all over it 😋 #feedthephobia bit hey, they do a great job!
It's amazing the difference in color of the castings. The paper bin looks like sawdust and the cardboard is tan color while the leaves are much darker castings
Even as a gardener, I thought, who would watch over 4 minutes of time lapse composting with worms. Then proceeded to watch over 4 mins of time lapse composting with worms with great interest. 🙂
In the beginning there were like 10 worms per unit. In the end there were like 10 thousand worms per unit What did you learn today? -worms be thirsty if they be mass producing every 3 days😂
Very interesting at how they were able to convert the waste into nutrient rich composted soil, and the constant adding of water eith a stable release method, "in ice". Very efficient little creatures.
Earthworms are so cool. I used to play with them lots as a kid when it rained. The great thing about this you got free compost and free worms for fishing, the remains with which you get more compost and thus more worms.
Woah lots of criticism! 😂 I started composting at the beginning of this year and I really enjoyed watching the comparison of leaves breaking down compared to the cardboard. I’m actually looking forward to autumn now so I collect all that carbon! Leaves will have so much more nutrients than card for my veggies next year. Thank you to whoever made this video!
@@pedrof3364I have a Darlek bin and add fruit and veg scraps, garden scraps, autumn leaves, paper and cardboard. It’s all a learning process and varies depending on your climate. Most beginners don’t add enough ‘browns’, so that’s the leaves, paper and card. I’ve learned a ton from a group called Keep Calm and Make Compost in Facebook
I want to see another one, this time with different types of food, say one chamber has healthy stuff and the other has Twinkie’s or MacDonalds hamburgers or something
Worms don't eat processed food and are strictly vegetarian. Look up black soldier flies larvae or mealworms, these guys are monsters at decomposing junk food.

yamum isgae Alright. There’s a thing called ‘Siri’ on Apple mobiles. It’s like Alexa. So, I asked ‘Siri’ the lifespan of earthworms and it came up with 1100 days or 36 months. This person thought the soil would just be shits and corpses when in reality only a year had went by, therefore it is unlikely that many earthworms died as they usually can live longer. Edit: you probably don’t use Apple, do you? Which may explain why you were so confused
When i was younger i loved to play with worms and i used to pull out worms from the soul in a gentle way one by one and then i used to let them go inside the soul again. For the for time for like 20 years now i am interested again on worms because of this video
Very telling video. The more organic bin on the left had faster process time, made more babies, had better results and it seemed were happier worms. The bin in the middle was so indigestible with colored cardboard until the worms were forced to eat it or starve, and the bin on the right almost made me sick the results looked so disgusting. This will definitely change what I feed my compost/worm bin. All that extra cardboard is getting pitched.

My friend in primary school used to go out at lunch time when it rained and save worms from the concrete. They called her worm girl. I respect worm girl.
This is great! Proves that worms prefer natural material over processed. My 8' x 4' bin was started with very aged horse manure and leaves from the yard. I feed once a week. I can't wait for the weather to warm and the population to explode. Keep posting the videos! These really help me unwind from a hard day. Thanks for making these. Can't wait to see your next time-lapse!
Not at all. You wouldn't last on only french fries ;) Worms don't like single food source as well. Leaves and grass clippings give off both carbohydrates and aminoacids. Cardboard and paper don't have much of those. There's sulfur and nitrogen deficiency. So... mixing cardboard and paper with food scraps is brilliant and red wigglers would love that. Giving them only paper isn't particularly good idea.
I don't if you added ice purposefully, but it helps in two ways. 1. It adds necessary moisture to Worms to breakdown food/organic waste. 2. Heat releases while worms decomposing food. Heat may stack up reaches 50°C or more eventually kills worms at bottom.
This video jogged my memory that in first grade my teacher had a worm dude visit us with his big compost bin full of worms and paper. We got to see how the worms ate the waste and made fresh soil. It was neat.
Love your time lapse vids! I wonder, can you make 3 chamber time lapse with 1 chamber enc, 1 chamber red wrigglers and a 3rd chamber with no worms. I’m curious to see how natural decomposition goes without the worms.
I've been thinking of getting the three chamber container set up for another time-lapse soon. Your suggestion is a good one - I was thinking of a similar setup too. Thanks for watching!
I'm about to redesign and scale up my worm composting set-up, this was surprisingly helpful! It was interesting how much adding the grit near the end of the timelapse speeded up the breakdown for the middle section, which was lagging. I can definitely add crushed eggshells (we have 50 hens). I'm definitely going to have a clear perspex side so I can see what's happening underneath.
Pretty cool. What would happen if the worms could travel back and forth between the containers. Perhaps cutoff the bottom bit of the dividers Is be interested in seeing if the worms had a preference of material
After watching this I have one question: Didn't the ink and colour harm the worms in some way? I didn't look like it did, but it could be a long-term thing.
Paper itself has a ton of chemicals (which is why a paper cut really hurts) so if the worms with paper didn’t die, then the dye components should have no effect
@Daniel Scotton Wikipedia page in my native language says the opposite so I think I believe that more than your opinion. And how on earth speeding up the decompose can be harmful in any way? The faster sth gets recycled, the better for the environment. Also, introducing air into the soil has actually very beneficial means for the rooting systems and other fungi (they get more nitrogen and thus grows faster). P.s. Plants don't need organic matter to grow...
I've had to relocate it all to a different location and so I have been living off the harvest. It's amazing how the worms and living soil organisms turned 18 tons of trash into soil and only took about 3 months for each batch. Working on a project to take it around UK 🇬🇧 and many thanks for your inspirational video and all the awesome you tube good people on our mother earth. Thank you for teaching us how to help heal the soil. The soil is like the skin of the earth. Please keep posting your inspirational and helpful videos.
cev5656 that’s exactly what happens at landfills. Once a landfill is considered “full” it’s left alone to allow the worms to turn the area into soil. Unfortunately a lot of landfills are flooded with toxic dump that kill worms which is why they never stop being landfills.
So what I'm seeing is my hippy ex girlfriend was right when she said "You can compost anything" I mean minus the obvious shit but like, you just turned cardboard into rich soil little wormies. Good job. Really proud of you
They, fungus, bacteria, and microbes are key for our soils! To my knowledge, soil was originally created by fungi that lived on rock. For a long time only fungi thrived on land, until the fungi had created soil and then plants came in.
I am glad you enjoyed it. I invite you to browse around my channel - there are other similar time-lapse videos there. Hopefully you'll find others you enjoy. Thanks for watching!

Paper itself has a ton of chemicals (which is why a paper cut really hurts) so if the worms with paper didn’t die, then the dye components should have no effect

Der Restaurier They might not have long enough lifespans for it to have any adverse effects.
I found it surprisingly enjoyable to watch. & the fast rewind & forwarding was a nice BONUS. TYVM. ALOHA
Thank you for watching - and Aloha to you too. Are you near the erupting volcano that I saw in the new yesterday? Be careful if you are! :)
Did you know that worms are equally as important to us than bees and other pollinators? Without them, we dead.
Exactly. It should be something that's taught to us in grammar school but isn't
@Daniel Scotton not everyone is american
@Daniel Scotton Wikipedia page in my native language says the opposite so I think I believe that more than your opinion. And how on earth speeding up the decompose can be harmful in any way? The faster sth gets recycled, the better for the environment. Also, introducing air into the soil has actually very beneficial means for the rooting systems and other fungi (they get more nitrogen and thus grows faster). P.s. Plants don't need organic matter to grow...
Earthworms are good for grasslands but not for any other biome
Genius at work. Great video. Subtle and informative.
Lots of love from India.
Thank you Charles Darwin.
I don't remember looking for this but it's apparently fascinating
When other people watched movie, I'm amused only by watching the worms
I've had to relocate it all to a different location and so I have been living off the harvest. It's amazing how the worms and living soil organisms turned 18 tons of trash into soil and only took about 3 months for each batch. Working on a project to take it around UK 🇬🇧 and many thanks for your inspirational video and all the awesome you tube good people on our mother earth. Thank you for teaching us how to help heal the soil. The soil is like the skin of the earth.
Please keep posting your inspirational and helpful videos.
Ps. I'll be using the soil as starter soil and donate it free to others.
I've shared your videos far and wide for ages now.
Thank you!
So would adding a shit ton of worms to our landfills help reduce their impact? Do we already do this?
cev5656 that’s exactly what happens at landfills. Once a landfill is considered “full” it’s left alone to allow the worms to turn the area into soil. Unfortunately a lot of landfills are flooded with toxic dump that kill worms which is why they never stop being landfills.
@@thisisamulyavanga the more you know! Thank you
@@thisisamulyavanga Cool! Thanks buddy!😊
@@thisisamulyavanga interesting
@@thisisamulyavanga thx m8
Damn...I never realized how much worms were nature’s blenders...
I love these videos!!!!! I have yet to make one with my own Worms.
Thank you for watching!
@@A-V I am the garden and worm lady. This is my other channel.☺️
Ah! 👍🏻
So what I'm seeing is my hippy ex girlfriend was right when she said "You can compost anything"
I mean minus the obvious shit but like, you just turned cardboard into rich soil little wormies. Good job. Really proud of you
I love your time lapse videos!! Great work!
everytime RUclips recommend it I watch it...loves the time lapse of worms making compost...4th times 🤣
Thank you X4! :)
Very cool. I have been anxiously awaiting the release of this video and it did not disappoint!
Amazing. I cant believe worms do so much for the environment. Thank you for letting me know. Subbed.
They, fungus, bacteria, and microbes are key for our soils! To my knowledge, soil was originally created by fungi that lived on rock. For a long time only fungi thrived on land, until the fungi had created soil and then plants came in.
holy shit youtube recommends, PLEASE give me more worm content, this was amazing to watch.
I am glad you enjoyed it. I invite you to browse around my channel - there are other similar time-lapse videos there. Hopefully you'll find others you enjoy. Thanks for watching!
The 1st section was easy to decompose, the third one took a while to decompose, while section 2 was the hardest to decompose.
Those worms in the cardboard chamber must have been like "what the hell? this doesn't seem fair :/"
Now we know if worm is very usefull for garden
I’ve never added ice to mine and I’ve been doing vermiculture for a couple of decades now.
Love your time lapse vids. Looking forward to a watermelon.
I hope more and more people realize how great worms are for our planet.
Yes - I agree. Thank you for watching!
Why was this in my feed? Why did I watch it all the way through?
Edit: oh shit he's got a whole series of them, now I won't get anything done tonight
That's awesome - I hope you enjoyed them. Thank you for watching!
Worms, bees, meat eaters, vegens, we all help the world in our own way.
