  • John from www.growingyourgreens.com/ takes you to West Knight Worms in Moca, Puerto Rico to show you how you can grow worms in your basement and make $60,000 to $100,000 by selling worm juice.
    In this episode, you will also learn how one man started a worm farm by building 20 worm bins in his mom's basement and feeding the worm whole fruits and vegetables to create liquid worm juice that is sold for $50-$120 a pound.
    You will discover the special worm bin that was designed to house worms and easily create the worm elixir by using rainwater.
    You will learn about many of the ingredients that are being fed to the worms to create certain nutrients in the worm elixir that is being created.
    You will discover how worm elixir is created by leaching out the water from the worm castings.
    You will learn how the worm leachate is processed and bottled for sale.
    You will discover how worm juice can benefit the farmer with a testimonial from a farmer that uses the product.
    Finally, John will interview the worm farmer so you can learn more about the process of making worm juice and the benefits it can have when used in your garden.

      wonder if he can source food from US growers that have waste fruit / vegetable product or set up a second business on USA mainland to reduce shipping if scaling up.
      I have two worm farms from the hardware store but they are full of food so I am building my own from 60 litre garbage bins to increase the composting. I have budgies and a parrot and need to process the waste product being seeds and faeces and used bedding. This is what is filling up my worm farms too much at the moment.

      @@lazlohollyfeld3770@lazlohollyfeld3770 Yes, as hobbyists, we can do this ourselves on a small scale. But for a full-scale profitable business model, and given today's water shortages, you would need a diverse source of fructose/glucose/sucrose agricultural bio-waste (i.e., discarded tropical fruits) to invigorate the worms' appetite. That's what rainforest climates in Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and maybe Florida provide.
      Puerto Rico and Hawaii also have many empty shipping containers that are returned to the mainland after goods are shipped to those islands. So, exporting from those islands to the mainland shouldn't be expensive.

      I wish I had a home and some land to do it! That would solve some major financial situations. There's alot of fishermen where I live so just the worms would be great to sell.

    The farmer started his business through a science project for his college biology course. I think it's funny that in my life as a subsistence farmer and artist, I am now back to where I started as well. My project when I was younger was feeding graywater to plants, and that is what I am still doing atm. I want to get off the grid one step more and get into more waste composting using worms. I admire this farmer's DIY attitude. Sometimes it is hard to find the psychological strength to keep dealing with failures and keep on keeping on with the isolation in farming. We have had a lot of challenges and losses with 10 years dairy animals in the sub-tropical area we live in, for instance. I am hoping worms and composting will work out for us better. Watching this has saved me a lot of trial and error so far.

    Just some things to put out there. There are a few things that I want to point out as you seem to lack some info, either due to just hearing about this or misinformation. As a person that raises worms for castings for personal use, there's nothing proprietary about what one feeds their worms, just treat them like any other pet, feed a balanced diet and the castings will come out just as good. Second, is the identification of leachate[i think that's how it's spelled] within the video, it seems that the term is being used interchangeably with worm tea which is something way different. In the video, it seems, what is being made is as he stated to be leachate that's been processed and sold in bottles to be diluted by users as straight leachate will burn your plants. It's not worm tea as that has a very small window of use after making [use within 4 hours of making it] in order to be effective.

    • @Mascutting
      @Mascutting 5 лет назад +8

      @@CuriousinNY There are more detailed information over the web, but here's a somewhat condensed version.
      Worm tea is a liquid made from purposely cultivating beneficial bacteria. This is done by adding completed worm castings to water and essentially aerating the solution[via air stone or pump[maybe]] to provide oxygen for the beneficial bacteria/microbes in the castings to grow and multiply. Some people like adding additional amendments to their worm tea during the the aerating stage as well to enhance the effects. The resulting solution can be applied to your plants directly without risk of burning them; just know that the solution is best used within 4 hours of making it.
      The video itself does a good job of explaining what leche is, and any questions you may have can easily be answered by more seasoned veterans on dedicated sub reddits for vermiculture

      @kahlansgarden9087 5 лет назад +9

      You are correct, although I personally use the 24 hour time table for best results. (Of course the sooner the better) Worm tea is worm castings that are steeped and aerated with some molasses for the beneficial bacteria to eat and reproduce quickly. Best used as soon as possible for best results. Leachate is the runoff from the worm bin. Leachate is inferior in my opinion, it smells completely different from proper worm tea which smells sweet and earthy. Using leachate is like playing Russian roulette, the quality and results are inconsistent. It may be ok if it was processed by the worms or it may kill your plants... Just reuse the leechate back into your worm bin when you are needing to add moisture into the bin. I use my leechate to wet newspaper instead of using water. The worms will reprocess the leechate and make worm castings which you can use a handful of castings in a sock or whatever to make your own worm tea that has been aerated with molasses; this method is more consistent and concentrated then shown in this video. :/
