    I love the creativity and beauty in your videos; started following you 4 years ago during the lockdown when I had time to excavate all the weeds and crap from what had been our garden, discovered the soil was still there, rich and waiting, and I was inspired by your videos. Thank you for taking us through your Wormville; I need to reset my worm tub -- which I also began because you used a tub, showed us how to do it. Greetings from the state of Georgia in the US, right above the Florida state line, where early spring weather is teasing us. Can't wait to start planting!

    • @annburge291

      Totally agree with you. This video was not only visually stunning...I particularly loved the sound track...the choice of music to the visuals, how long you played the clips, how the music complemented your voice and gentle humour. I'm a bit cooped up in a flat in Melbourne until June with granddaughter and mother minding. You are inspiring me to really hit the dirt running when I return to Chihuahua. I'll certainly have to reset up a wormviille, concoct some LAB, and replant some trees. Hopefully somethings will survive in my desert garden with a year of absence.

    A few years back we had major flooding on the Arkansas river. Living nearby we visited the river banks several times daily. The worms we drowning by the thousands. People were scooping up the wiggling ones by the hands full. These worms are very large and are called night crawlers. There were many people fishing from the levy until they were told it was unsafe due to the height of water. The road was barricaded. Our levy came really close to failing. There was levy breaks in other locations. Not sure if I could keep the worms alive, I did not gather any. Wish i had at least tried! Good video as always. Thank you Weedy! Have a good day!

Maybe when I get a break in the rain I'll steal some worm castings from them.

      @TheWeedyGarden I used wooden pallets with a fabric covering inside. That way, more oxygen gets in and moisture can escape more easily. Breathable. I also would prefer living in a wooden cottage rather than in a shipping container. But maybe it's also because of the difference in climate. I only say this for those who have less success with a bathtub. But if it works then it works. 🙂
