@@binanocht6110So you started out with six and now there's a big population and they're all close relatives? That's how the west was won! In Mississippi that's called "a famulee".
After keeping worm bin for over 30 years, i found they prefer corn cobs to lay their eggs. Then when they hatch they eat their way out of the cobs. They are one of the easiest creatures to house and provide incredible by products.
Our life on earth would not be possible without these humble little slimy bois, and they don't even ask anything in return. I always rescue them when I see them out on the sidewalk for too long.
I’ve been vermicomposting for a month now. There’s no bad smell and I’m diverting 100% of my kitchen waste to the worms. It’s very cool to get a peek into what they’re doing in my bin!
If only more people would take these simple steps to reduce the amount of stuff they deposit into their local landfills. I'm glad to hear that things are working well in your new worm farm 👍🏻
I just have a small spot in the back yard next to the woods to toss out vegetable scraps. Works great. Breaks down quickly outside and feeds many of the wildlife and plants nearby.
Composting worms generally live in the top couple inches of soil & feed on the surface... consuming decomposing materials. I'm sure they are probably present to some degree in landfills, but in landfills most of what we would want them to break down is buried deep beyond their reach. I'm no expert on the subject - but that seems like it might explain why. Thanks for watching!

This exposed some glaring ignorance on my part. I work in lawn care and am usually surprised when I find worms on the surface, or near to it.

Many earthworms do live deep in the ground, but the few kinds that are used for composting are the surface dwelling types since their diet consist mainly of decomposing matter. Thanks for watching!
I'm wondering if they live near the top but I have a bunch of hard dry clay soil a few inches down how do they get past that to find richer soil with decomposing matter

Fascinating! I've seen videos claiming that Reds, do not migrate into soil, but remain in the active composting scrap area only. This certainly proves otherwise. Thanks for doing this video.
Excuse, can you answer my doubt? I wanted to ask if I can put in some old ground I have inside a compost so it can get nutrients. It has light brown tone and it lacks porosity. I would like it to get black and to have more porosity. Do you know any method that may help me?
@@pollolor15 you can but most people want to do the opposite. At least, that's what I've heard. Add your finished compost to the old soil to boost the soil nutrients without causing shock to plants. It's easier to mix compost into old soil because it keeps the soil consistency with the soil around it rather than having a random patch of just compost with regular soil all around. The roots will travel farther when the soil is consistent. You can do either one if you're putting it in pots and itll make potting compost whether you add compost to the soil or soil to the compost.
at 3:21 a very large worm comes into view to the left of the D and then dies, its last movements are captured in the time lapse. for two days it goes largely untouched, then as it finally begins to break down the other worms move in and between days 11 and 12 it vanishes completely. what a fascinating time lapse! thanks for uploading!
recording something for over so much time must be alot of work. thanks for taking the consideration. i am so impresed and fascinated with this little guys.

I don't know why, but I always find myself so mesmerized by these time lapse videos! Thanks for making these! I found it interesting, too, to notice that some of the worms 'weren't moving', and then to see these worms being cleaned up by the smaller younger ones. One of my favourites is still the 'Pumpkin vs Red Wrigglers' time-lapse, especially the one in reverse! If you haven't watched it yet, I'd highly recommend it!!
Fantastic video! A few worm pioneers leave my bin when it's rainy. It's like the space program but it doesn't go well. Still, they tried and I admire that. Worms without water don't last long. I let mine drink from a water dish what supplies a cup a day. It's a dish for a reptile. They drink and get on with business.
what i love about this vs making a compost bin, is that you dont have to mix and dig everything up to allow air flow. with vermicomposting, you just bury the scraps, put the worms, and wait for them to do their job :) you just have to water it a bit occasionally or put ice and you're good to go.
There are static composting methods as well. Have a compost mix that is really carbon dominant by way of wood chips and/or leaves and let the fungi do their thing. Certain ways the pile can be constructed too, to allow enough air flow, and having a lot of wood chips helps air flow on its own as well.
@asdfasdf some do yes but mostly are overwhelmed by something new or out of the ordinary. For instance spider mites they are a dust mites in the home that take a fancy to plant juice which devastates plant infrastructure and destroys the plant.
Looks like the worms don't always go for the fresh food material. Some will go to the fresh food material and stay there, some will go there and come back to the semi decomposed portion, and some just stay at the semi decomposed area and just feed there for days! Now I know I don't have to try feed my worm so often, and that I don't have to check progress after just one day 😂 Thank you so much for this video. It's probably more educational than even you realise
My time-lapse videos often have traces of light pollution & other various defects - and that's a good example of one. I do my best to isolate the time-lapse filming location from stray sources of light, but something is almost always bound to sneak in :) Thanks for watching!
They help loosen up the soil so roots can grow easily. The loose soil also allows more air so the roots can absorb nitrogen. It would also allow water to seep down more quickly so the roots don't rot due to too much moisture. Their poop basically has hastened the breakdown process of other organic material so the roots can also absorb the freed up nutrients at a shorter time (as compared to if you simply let the same organic stuff just decay). Worms = healthy soil = healthy plants.
@@boxy_tocs2035 unfortunately many worms you just find out in your garden are invasive. they dont do a great job breaking stuff down and sometimes even eat the roots. These red wigglers will usually have to be reintroduced to your garden first
Great video! This is how I handle the worms in my compost bins as well, by starting a new pile in the space next to the old one. That migrates basically every single one of them.
I think worm behavior hasn't been studied enough. This video shows things are barely mentioned elsewhere. Fantastic. I'm taking notes. Thanks! Take good care
Fun video to watch. We keep a "compost pile" in a plastic bin all winter and keep worms in it (in the basement). They do a great job of breaking down the food scraps and give us incredible fertilizer in the spring. Cheers from Minnesota!
Fascinating watch. I have a vertical stacking wormery, a 4 storey high rise that gets fed my teabags, coffee grounds, shredded paper and vegetable waste and the dendrobena worms turn it into a very rich compost. I understand how it works and just leave them to it but it's great to see in action. It does also have the additional benefit of; You take a wiggly worm And you watch him squirm Then you stick it on a hook And drop it in the brook And if things just turn out right Ya gonna fry fish tonight!* Johnny Cash 'Country Boy' *I don't generally keep the fish I catch.

seeing the soil "fluff up" is great for me as a gardener. i also sirect buty most of my kitches scraps in the garden rather than bothering to compost....worms love it
2 things you should consider: 1- cover up so don't get flies and 2- a tap at the botton so you dnt leave them that wet but its great to c how fast they do that work! thanks for the vid
Thank you a lot for sharing this amazing video I'm currently try to understand how decomposition work And your video show us that worms help a lot with decomposition
Great video :) I got a compost box outside for the garden ans kitchen waste, old soil, flowers etc and every worm in the garden i find i'd add to my compost :) Nice to see what these guys actually doing there. Thank you for uploading that stuff, so cool.
That reminds me, I should buy some worms for my compost bin. I love the way the worms break down the food matter so fast. They get a good life, and I get great soil. It's a win-win. Also less waste in the garbage dump is even better.

I had a worm box for years, turned my dad living in Napa Valley who kept a small victory garden onto worms. Your vid was fascinating to watch how the worms did their thing, even saw some baby worms.
My neighbour gave me a shot glass full of these little guys for my new compost bin and they made short work of everything i put in there and my garden was awesome this year
thanks for the video. I've had a worm farm for 10 yr and have seen some pretty crazy (inhouse) migrations myself. it should be mandatory to have these.
Great Time Lapse Film! Everyone should be breeding worms to keep a solid supply in the soil. They can reduce toxins and trash that's been put in the dirt.
This gives me an excellent idea. I bought a healthy bin of worms but the substrata consists of organic soil which is pretty much thick mud as they were always fed wet food. I’ll use this method to get them to move into some coco coir bedding.
You don’t need to be adding ice. You can add some damp newspaper to the top to keep in moisture so it doesn’t evaporate. They need more dry material such as cardboard and torn up newspaper
@@arvinkim3037 Our leaves bin often steams in winter, normally about 20-40 bags worth so a fair amount. We just have a huge pile outside though, so we dont introduce any worms articially and goign through it I dont spot that many. May have an affect

Hi! Congrats for your amazing work from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil! I've been composting my family's organic residue for a year now... in a small apartment!! I use what I make from composting to grow (part of) my own greens in a small balcony. The transformation is really amazing! I also like to do experiments (but don't film it). My last experience is using a green coconut shell. In about a month, let's see what I manage to get!
I have had numerous people ask me what would happen if I tried giving a green coconut shell to the worms. Since I do not have green coconuts I have no way of trying to find out. Maybe you should prepare a short video of the before... and then film it again in a couple months so we can see the after too. I know there are people out there interesting it knowing the results of what you are experimenting with. Anyhow... thanks for watching!

We had a worm farm for about a year in elementary school but it was outside and the worms ended up escaping. We have since only ever had hole in the dirt pile style composting. I anticipate living in an apartment in a year or two though and will be setting one of these up so I continue composting my scraps.
Awesome. Interesting to see they go for the the easy paper first, and seem to careless about natural stuff. And Super Fun to see they use the same worm holes and quickly move thru them, in comparison of course.
I used to fish in the ocean. When I caught smelt or some other small fish & fish guts & heads, I'd bury them in the garden & toss in some worms. They ate everything - even my neighbors smelly bucket of rotten veggie scraps. I had good soil.
Very interesting to watch it. These Worms eat only vegetables not meat. There are different kinds of it. Californian red worms are the fastest. Thank you very much for this video

A lot of worms will just eat the roots too lmao
They taste. :3
@@KatchRocketman possibly
@asdfasdf some do yes but mostly are overwhelmed by something new or out of the ordinary. For instance spider mites they are a dust mites in the home that take a fancy to plant juice which devastates plant infrastructure and destroys the plant.
I think worms like decaying stuff but root r still alive..
Super video! I applauded for ₹40.00 👏
Looks like the worms don't always go for the fresh food material. Some will go to the fresh food material and stay there, some will go there and come back to the semi decomposed portion, and some just stay at the semi decomposed area and just feed there for days! Now I know I don't have to try feed my worm so often, and that I don't have to check progress after just one day 😂 Thank you so much for this video. It's probably more educational than even you realise
Checking progress daily is certainly not necessary; sometimes I got weeks between check-ins & they do just fine without me :)
Worms be like : Commander there's wall obstructing us in the path!
Worm Commandar : EAT THAT TOO!
Ask *not* what the worm bin can do for you... instead - ask what *you* can do for your worm bin! :) Thanks for watching!
My time-lapse videos often have traces of light pollution & other various defects - and that's a good example of one. I do my best to isolate the time-lapse filming location from stray sources of light, but something is almost always bound to sneak in :) Thanks for watching!
That was super neat to witness.
I knew worms were really good for soil, but now I understand why.
They help loosen up the soil so roots can grow easily. The loose soil also allows more air so the roots can absorb nitrogen. It would also allow water to seep down more quickly so the roots don't rot due to too much moisture. Their poop basically has hastened the breakdown process of other organic material so the roots can also absorb the freed up nutrients at a shorter time (as compared to if you simply let the same organic stuff just decay). Worms = healthy soil = healthy plants.
@@mocabe01 I shouldn't of killed innocent worms :(
I thought they were going to eat my entire plant up but I guess it just eats up dead roots
They aerate the soil as well.
@@boxy_tocs2035 unfortunately many worms you just find out in your garden are invasive. they dont do a great job breaking stuff down and sometimes even eat the roots. These red wigglers will usually have to be reintroduced to your garden first
I just started a worm farm with my youngest grandson I will show him this it is amazing thank you :)
Thanks for watching & sharing!
Great video!
This is how I handle the worms in my compost bins as well, by starting a new pile in the space next to the old one. That migrates basically every single one of them.
My mom loves worms she has a garden and she has a ton of worms I love these little guys
Love these types of videos. I made my own worm bin and it's been 1 month since I started, my worms are reproducing and I am happy.
It takes a month for them to start reproducing?
It's so cool to see how they eat, and what they eat. I've been wanting to start one of these for my wife and son I think he would really enjoy it
Thank you for not adding annoying music throughout the video.
This is the first time i see such process. I am in love. Thanks, youtube, thanks, creator
Thank you for watching!
I’ve been wanting to wipe off that right upper edge since the beginning
I think worm behavior hasn't been studied enough. This video shows things are barely mentioned elsewhere. Fantastic. I'm taking notes. Thanks! Take good care
This whole bin will worth a lot. It is a very good fertilizer. Thanks for sharing.
Hands down best worm video time laps I've seen so far! 💪🏾
I love how you can physically see the worms dying and then being "recycled". A true circle of life.
"circle of life" is such a shit simplification

Fun video to watch. We keep a "compost pile" in a plastic bin all winter and keep worms in it (in the basement). They do a great job of breaking down the food scraps and give us incredible fertilizer in the spring. Cheers from Minnesota!
Thank you for watching!
That was amazing,
Informative, and strangely satisfying to watch.
Like a therapy I didn't realise was needed.
Made me rethink things.
Thanks. ❤😁👍
What a wonderful video, it shows how beautiful nature is, the endless but delicate balance of life
Thank you for watching!
Fascinating watch.
I have a vertical stacking wormery, a 4 storey high rise that gets fed my teabags, coffee grounds, shredded paper and vegetable waste and the dendrobena worms turn it into a very rich compost. I understand how it works and just leave them to it but it's great to see in action.
It does also have the additional benefit of;
You take a wiggly worm
And you watch him squirm
Then you stick it on a hook
And drop it in the brook
And if things just turn out right

3:23 Large worm dies (bottom centre, next to "Day 8"). At Day 10 it gets swarmed with smaller worms. By Day 12 it's gone.
That's the super-efficient clean-up crew making sure the bin remains tidy :) Thanks for watching!
God... could you imagine that instead of funerals for older friends or relatives, you just have a big dinner with their corpse as the main course? Despite the fact that there's obviously a quick and affordable restaurant right down the street?
you're amazingly observant. I would have never caught that.
First time i noticed that
Thanks!
I thought they dragged a leaf from the left side! Good catch!
This is one of the coolest things I have seen in a week on youtube

I did this exact same experiment in grade 8. Easiest setup ever, no work involved, got an A.
Should've been an A+ :)
The thought that the same thing happens to the human body does not leave me
Aight ima go cry
If it makes you feel better, it looks like it's also happening to the dead worm bodies... 🙄
@@Blaublahblue that cannibalism
@@kkirill4633 different species
actually earthworms mostly eats plants and fungi between the soil, your body will be eaten almost entirely by fungi, insect larvae and bacteria
13:00 I am wondering if the are congregating on the compost side (away from the food) for breeding purposes.
I noticed that too, wonder if the right side was too wet?
You'll only ever find earthworms breeding on top of wet soil, whilst the rain falls, for the most part.

seeing the soil "fluff up" is great for me as a gardener. i also sirect buty most of my kitches scraps in the garden rather than bothering to compost....worms love it
It is so beautiful and so natural. Indeed, worms - angels of the earth.
Truly the Cadillac of worms
Thanks for watching!
LOL! Came here to post this when I saw the title.
2 things you should consider: 1- cover up so don't get flies and 2- a tap at the botton so you dnt leave them that wet but its great to c how fast they do that work! thanks for the vid
Without these guys likely we as a species would not exist. I salute you, organic recycling toobs!
Thank you for watching!
Just mesmerizing to watch
Thank you a lot for sharing this amazing video
I'm currently try to understand how decomposition work
And your video show us that worms help a lot with decomposition

Great video :) I got a compost box outside for the garden ans kitchen waste, old soil, flowers etc and every worm in the garden i find i'd add to my compost :) Nice to see what these guys actually doing there. Thank you for uploading that stuff, so cool.
Thank you for watching!
That reminds me, I should buy some worms for my compost bin. I love the way the worms break down the food matter so fast. They get a good life, and I get great soil. It's a win-win. Also less waste in the garbage dump is even better.
So it's a win-win-win 👍🏻 Thanks for watching!
its so crazy that, around day 10, one of the worms in the center dies and gets decomposed itself. gosh
You saw that too, I was watching and waiting for it to move. I was wondering how long they rest before moving to food, he never moved again.
I sê
True!! And more than one
Good observation
I think it got eaten by the other worms after it decomposed. That's the cycle of life.
Looks like a great setup to raise flys too!
Until now this is my favorite movie on RUclips

I had a worm box for years, turned my dad living in Napa Valley who kept a small victory garden onto worms. Your vid was fascinating to watch how the worms did their thing, even saw some baby worms.
Thanks for watching!
My neighbour gave me a shot glass full of these little guys for my new compost bin and they made short work of everything i put in there and my garden was awesome this year
Very cool! Thanks for watching!
Thank you! It is nice to see what si happening there inside
thanks for the video. I've had a worm farm for 10 yr and have seen some pretty crazy (inhouse) migrations myself.
it should be mandatory to have these.
That's an interesting thought! Most still have never heard of it!!!
Great Time Lapse Film! Everyone should be breeding worms to keep a solid supply in the soil. They can reduce toxins and trash that's been put in the dirt.
This gives me an excellent idea. I bought a healthy bin of worms but the substrata consists of organic soil which is pretty much thick mud as they were always fed wet food. I’ll use this method to get them to move into some coco coir bedding.
Good luck!
What's the ice for?
The ice is for applying moisture.. but in a way that allows it to enter the bin gradually. Thanks for watching!
You don’t need to be adding ice. You can add some damp newspaper to the top to keep in moisture so it doesn’t evaporate. They need more dry material such as cardboard and torn up newspaper
Maybe he is also keeping the temp down?
Yes.. compost are warm if you touch it
@@adellyaanggitakinasih1031 my worm bin is never warm to the touch
@@arvinkim3037 Our leaves bin often steams in winter, normally about 20-40 bags worth so a fair amount. We just have a huge pile outside though, so we dont introduce any worms articially and goign through it I dont spot that many. May have an affect

Hi! Congrats for your amazing work from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil! I've been composting my family's organic residue for a year now... in a small apartment!! I use what I make from composting to grow (part of) my own greens in a small balcony. The transformation is really amazing! I also like to do experiments (but don't film it). My last experience is using a green coconut shell. In about a month, let's see what I manage to get!
I have had numerous people ask me what would happen if I tried giving a green coconut shell to the worms. Since I do not have green coconuts I have no way of trying to find out. Maybe you should prepare a short video of the before... and then film it again in a couple months so we can see the after too. I know there are people out there interesting it knowing the results of what you are experimenting with. Anyhow... thanks for watching!

How the red wiggler taste😅
Savage.
I watch drone drop videos from Ukraine while I eat my dinner.
We had a worm farm for about a year in elementary school but it was outside and the worms ended up escaping. We have since only ever had hole in the dirt pile style composting. I anticipate living in an apartment in a year or two though and will be setting one of these up so I continue composting my scraps.
Awesome. Interesting to see they go for the the easy paper first, and seem to careless about natural stuff. And Super Fun to see they use the same worm holes and quickly move thru them, in comparison of course.
Thanks for watching!
I used to fish in the ocean. When I caught smelt or some other small fish & fish guts & heads, I'd bury them in the garden & toss in some worms. They ate everything - even my neighbors smelly bucket of rotten veggie scraps. I had good soil.
Great video, red wigglers are certainly fast eaters
Thank you for watching!
