I see two bins stacked, but you didn’t really talk about that in the videos I’ve watched so far. I’d that necessary? Does the second bin have all the layers, too? How many worms is a good start?
Hey! Yes I don’t mean to be elusive! I think i cover it briefly at the end of my last video! It’s not a secret I just store an empty tote under a growing bin. Then I move the empty tote up top when the original one is full and ready for harvest. To start the second bin you add all the same layers and invite the worms up (vertical migration) I start with about 50-100 but you can add up to 1000 per square foot
This is sooooooooo insightful! I'm from Oklahoma and raised and educated in agriculture. I cannot believe none of this was ever taught. I literally have an animal science degree from Oklahoma state university and later owned a flower shop and greenhouse with my family and we had zero clue. Thank you so much! I'm so invested!
Please see my other videos for step by step layering tutorials :) they are linked in the info card. Here is a good one: ruclips.net/video/YfBWbU4rSxo/видео.html
Ok...I don't mean to be rude but...she said at least 3 times that she inherited the bins..which means she didn't put them together and drill the holes. She also said multiple times that the video showing that process is in the description below. If you aren't willing to watch the whole video, maybe you could assume that you missed a bit of info instead of assuming the creator has left something out..Be well and God Blesss
There’s actually no link to the video that she said she was going leave a link to, she just left a link to the whole channel. I’m not about to go through this guy’s entire channel looking for one video.
I agree! Worms make gardening fun. I love going to check on both of our bins daily. I cannot wait to have more time to spend in the garden and making more worm casting, worm cocoons, worm tea, and of course worms. thanks for sharing Nat!
Thank you for putting this out there for the masses. I have an acre, I need to get busy. I want to be 100% self sufficient. I need to start somewhere. Will return to this video over and over.
With stored junk (finally) being thrown out, I have a surplus of plastic tubs. Then, yesterday, I caught your video on starting a worm farm so you inspired me to give it a go. I assume that your second (blue) tub is for catching excess liquid (which would also be good for the garden), but, I guess I'll have to look deeper into separating the worms from castings at time of harvesting. Congrats on the birth your new farm hand!
Hey Rick! The second tub is for expansion. I’ll cover this soon. To harvest, just get some 1/4” mesh, staple it onto a wooden frame and sieve. The worms can go back into your bins and the castings will drop through the mesh. I’ll cover this soon! Happy worm farming!
I'm bulding several large greenhouses on my property and I want a 100% closed loop system that makes it possible for me not to have the need to contually order any fertalizer. Hence, the reason I am building a large worm farm. This was the first time I watched your channel. I joined your channel today and of course gave you a 👍. My goal is to be able to teach everyone in my county how to grow their own vegetables and be able to eat super healthy salads and soups. God bleesed you and will always be with you.
I didn't build a worm "farm" per se, but I have several working bins, that put out tons of castings! I bought 500 red wigglers, & my population increased from there. I had about 8,000 after about 2 years, but my population went down when I had my baby because I didn't have the time to tend to them like I did before... but its still a lot more than I started with! & I can tell a huge difference in my plants since using the castings! Especially with their susceptibility to pests!
I love this idea. I have chickens as well and a compost area but I feel like the worms will not only be fun for the kids but be able to use sooner than the chicken manure
I saw you with Jess from R&R at Rory Feeks homestead gathering ,so I’m wanting to know more about worm farming !!!im 72 and have a back yard garden in CA .Thank you for all the information and your time ,I also subscribed and look forward to learning more from you and your Husband!

After all this time i was subscribed but hadn’t changed my notifications to ALL…. I corrected this Natalie!! Now I will see you in my videos more often! Yay!
I have raised compost worms (red wigglers) off & on for several years but I want to re-educate myself & try to do things in a more consistently correct way… thanks!
You go girl! You inspire me and I've only seen one video lol! We're in a small space at the moment and can't wait to get our dream homestead, too! I'm so excited to try this!!!!
Most pallets are only heat treated but if you see a pallet without any sramps on it but it does have a lot of small equally spaced holes in it then it is pressure treated
Thank you! Jess from Roots and Refuge sent me. I am so thankful. I'll go look information on an indoor small option. However, I brought nats inside all ready and need to stop then before I start this.

Hi Natalie (hope I spelled the right), I just found your channel and thank you, it's very informative! I am an avid vegetable gardener in central Illinois. Anywho my poor gardens are pretty rocky so I will most likely purchase a dumptruck load of quality topsoil. To keep said soil in pristine growth condition I will need more earthworms than I care to count. This video was a good start, thanks again and keep up the great work!
I plan on starting this next season and am beginning to do my research now! Your video is so helpful, and I love your explanation of everything. Thanks for sharing this, and for giving us updates on it all!! 🌱☀️🤍
Thx for the nice video's and another advantage is that your looking great so its nice to see I am farming worms to and it is really nice to do and it dont stinkt So keep up the worms 😂😊
Just came over from your interview with Nate on the Essential Craftsman podcast. Thanks for going over this, I had no idea it was so simple to get started!
She is speaking correctly of a the nutrient delivery system that stockpiles ALL of the nutrients and makes them available as the plant requires them. Mimicking nature that is in balance/harmony. When it is good and right, everything is good and right for everything. THAT is our goal going forward.
Thank you for sharing this video, we’ve been thinking about starting our own worm farm here on our homestead (Harmony Acres Homestead) in South Carolina. Thanks sharing for the info. (Pastor Lon Howle) 🙏🏻😇🙏🏻😇👍🏻👍🏻
Hi! Thank you for the valuable information. I am starting a farm for my axolotls so I can provide them with quality food and also help out my footprint. I am new to this and was wondering with the layering of the worm bins, you mention adding "your browns" what is this exactly? I only have cardboard, newspaper, organic potting soil, and the compost the worms were shipped in. Did I miss a step?
I make my worm farm in a co trainer with no bottom and do what you did. When it's time I move the whole thing over carefully and there's awesome soil and a few worms to plant right in. Of course there's no worm tea though.
I'm here because of Jess from roots and refuge glad I found you I live in an in town lot looking for ways to make compost I have a large compost bin but it takes forever to breakdown. looking for something more efficient and sized better looking forward to trying this out
I was drawn to this video for some reason and I realized what it was when you said you live in San Diego... I grew up in Oceanside😀 I'm convinced that Californian's just recognize each other...

Here because of Jess. I love worms but wanna learn more.
Thank you! Helping a small business provide more, natural and healthy fish/amphibian food to the public!
My 13 year old son and I are looking forward to having our own worm farm this year!! Thank you for this information!
We’ve got chickens and they will love various types of worms!
Can’t wait to get started!
Very informative and the right level. She doesn’t talk over people’s heads. Thx
I too just started my worm bin
Oh my goodness what an adorable baby bump!!!
Haha thank you!! She’s my little helper already!
So cute! You're lucky because my 2 boys gave me so many stretch marks! 😫
I wish you would have shown each step.. like setting up bins and etc

C’mon hubby!! 👏🏻 good luck!
Were you able to convince him?
@@aadelami1980 I was! We’ve happily had our little worm farm for a while and it is thriving 😊
Great video, not exactly what I was looking for. But you kept it interesting so I'll skim through your videos and see if I can find other cool stuff.

Love worms...I'm in Escondido, so glad to find you.
Oh we are in north county too. Great to meet you Susie!
Great information. I’ve not considered worm farming before but you make it sound pretty easy to build and maintain one.
It is!
Thanks for the education!! Your eyes are really pretty too btw!💓

Wowww. Well done! Isn’t it amazing how easy it is and quickly they multiply?! I’m hoping we can keep up with it once babe is here
@@heyitsagoodlife yes it is!
I loved this video. Good job. I want to start growing worm for fishing.
What a lovely, bright light you are💛
Happy 21st birthday on 19th. God bless you , Tommy and your unborn baby.

Thanks for posting and inspiring me to keep going and, hopefully one day, get my outdoor worm farm up and running. Love ya lady! ❤️
Thanks Mommy, very good. Love Robert. God Bless.

Im watching and Im subscribing
I’m gonna start a work for now. I already have a winery but I’m going to scale it up after watching your video.Thanks
Yesss!! Have you seen other vineyards in Northern California doing this? They have less disease, higher yield, better flavor!
I’ve been in San Diego since 1990, now a resident of Washington. I hope my worm will thrive here in cold Pacific North West.
Jess from Roots and Refuge sent me. Great video, I'm happy to be here!
