    Hurray, I have the same questions as you. I need to know how to organize the cocoons and adult worms, too.

  • @jerrycallison6125
    @jerrycallison6125 Год назад +4

    When we harvest breeder bins, we will leave the cocoons in the bedding, then put the worms into fresh bedding to start the process over again. We use mortar trays, though, and I can only get two trays worth combined into one. I do tend to use a bit more bedding in my trays than you do, though. I LOVE the volume of cocoons you have in your trays! It looks like they are doing superbly well.

    • @TheGardenAndWormLady
      @TheGardenAndWormLady  Год назад +1

      So do you sell your adult worms and put the cocoons on the shelf and wait for them to hatch? Or do you setup your adult worms and put the cocoon trays to hatch then go for sale?
      Thank you by the way😊

    • @jerrycallison6125
      @jerrycallison6125 Год назад +5

      @@TheGardenAndWormLady At present, we put the breeders back into the system and put the cocoons into another area for hatching and then grow out areas. We aren't selling any at the moment because we need more castings for sale. We're still in the beginning stages of our business (eighteen months in), and we are focused on growth rather than worm sales.

    That was super fun to watch! I think how you handled it was fine. Did you have a total weight of all of the worms? If I recall, they were a 1/4 lb each to start, so I would assume they were maybe 1/2 lb each this time? Have a great weekend!

    In the beginning of the video you were filling your sprayer with what looks like regular tap water. Is your water filtered to remove the chlorine and other stuff that's added to tap water? Love your videos , I've gained something from each one I've watched being a new worm caretaker on a lot smaller scale.

    • @TheGardenAndWormLady
      @TheGardenAndWormLady  Год назад

      Yes our water is extremely filtered with a sophisticated system that does the whole house. Our daughter needs pure water so the worms get the same benefit 😂
      If you use tap water let it sit a few days uncovered before you use it. Any chlorine evaporates

      им требуется от 2 до 3 месяцев, чтобы съесть его, и для большой коробки я обычно добавляю около четверти фунта, что составляет 250 червей, если это красные черви. Если это европейские ползуны, я ставлю 150 штук, а если я использую африканских ползунов, я ставлю около 50 штук.
