Hi. By any chance, have you experimented with using one bin or container of babies and feeding scraps or leaves, grass etc ONLY, no chow, all the way to their max size, and simultaneously one bin, same size and same amount babies, etc, feeding ONLY the worm chow, and then compared which were larger, which reached that stage faster, and which group multiplied more while growing? I know it would be lot of work to do, but figured I would ask you, rather than doing it myself.Hahah. Thanks for all your videos , they are appreciated.
I see a lot of dust airborne. Might I suggest moving the grinder to the edge of the cart. Fasten a bag on the output of the grinder. Hold in place with a hose clamp. When I see that dust I am seeing worm food floating away. Thanks for sharing. I am brand new to worms and watching to get ideas.
A small fan on the end of your cart that can blow the dust away from your face would be good don't need nothing to big but it's useful especially on hot days or create some kind of box for the stuff that you grind up to fall into you can catch the dust that is blowing away and it can be turned into a super fine worm food
That pine bedding, pour about one 1/4 to a 5 gallon Bucket add water....you can add a little at a time it should fill up almost to the top...it fluffs up nice and then portion it into bedding.
That dust has a lot of nutritional value and you seem to loose it a lot...it would brake down much quicker than the rest too....did you consider grinding everything straight into the bag or even into the bin with small cut out in the lid?...you'd catch most of it then.
Good morning, Vee, from Windermere, Florida zone 9b USA 🇺🇸 ❤🪱❤️🇺🇸 Nice to see how you mix your Chow. Is that Harvey? I used my NutraBullit to pulverize the tiny Drake Elm leaves 🍃 I know it's too small for your business, but a leaf mulcher might break those Oak leaves down. Take care ❤Peggy❤
I and many other people from Israel see love your videos. The problem that many have is that there is no Hebrew translation. We would be very happy if you would make a translation in Hebrew as well. Thank you very much for the tutorial and the videos you make
Have a question about the beet stuff. I thought it was made from beets. The kind that stain everything. But I looked it up and it appears its from sugar beets. So do you still use the beet powder that's from beets.
Why do you feed “Worm Chow” as apposed to blended fruit and vegetables? Fruit and Vegetables would be a lot less costly and much more nutritious for your worms and your castings rather than a processed and costly feed.
@@TheGardenAndWormLady yes ma'am it's beautiful here 4sure, im about 1 month in on a red wiggler bin wish me luck. Started with 1/4lb from Uncle Jim's my apologies i didn't no about ur website untill i found u on RUclips

We love to go fishing occasionally. Here in Indiana we just have lakes.

I have I did it a few years ago. And I will tell you the fattest worms I ever grew were raised in manure and straw.

Put a mark on the knob for a reference and use the lock nut to keep it from vibrating loose
Great video ❤
You can also get beet pulp shreds which will be easier to grind
Joe is a solid support human. I approve :)
I gave him your message. He says thank you😊

Right all the fine powder is baby food.

Did you make your sifter?

I have considered it, but right now this is what I have and what works. Trust me there’s plenty of dust.🤣
Maybe run the oats omw on the thin side. you could get it finer?
Hello, I was wondering when you did add the dry molasses how much did you add?
About a cup for the entire batch because when I blend it, it’s stretches
MY worms LOVE your worm chow, out of work at the moment but not able to buy any but soon!
❤️ give them food scraps to get you by. Just don’t give them any food scraps until their original portion is gone.❤️
@@TheGardenAndWormLady Oh yea they are covered your worm chow was just a treat lol at the moment they are tearing up a cantaloupe we forgot about
Good morning, Vee, from Windermere, Florida zone 9b USA 🇺🇸 ❤🪱❤️🇺🇸
Nice to see how you mix your Chow.
Is that Harvey?

Take care

Hi Peggy! No Harvey is my Harvester. This is my grinder. I just call it the beast, but we need a name for it.🤣
I and many other people from Israel see love your videos. The problem that many have is that there is no Hebrew translation. We would be very happy if you would make a translation in Hebrew as well. Thank you very much for the tutorial and the videos you make
I will look into that and see if they have.
I looked into it, and I was able to add Hebrew ☺️ enjoy

Hopefully this will replace the beet powder because that is very expensive
@@TheGardenAndWormLady I think i will give it a try. Its sweet so they Will most likely LOVE it. Thank you for your reply.
So far so good with the new chow
Aren't you worried about forever chemicals not using the organic versions?
No, not really. I’ve been doing it like this for 21 years and haven’t had any problems. Plus a lot of these things don’t come organic.
You should do a soil test on a batch of casting and see whats in there
Why do you feed “Worm Chow” as apposed to blended fruit and vegetables?
Fruit and Vegetables would be a lot less costly and much more nutritious for your worms and your castings rather than a processed and costly feed.
I feed all my breeders and babies both. I agree they need diversity in their diet
אני ועוד הרבה אנשים מישראל רואים את הסרטונים שלך אבל אין תרגום בעברית ולא מבינים הרבה.
תעשי שיהיה תרגום בעברית בבקשה
سوف أنظر في الأمر وأرى ما إذا كان لديهم. شكرا لمشاهدتك.
I added Hebrew😊
Very nice i live here in the Smokies
I absolutely love it there! I wish I could retire there

I wear a canister mask, like auto painters? I have emphysema so dust is the enemy.
I have to wear one too, especially when I work with Peat Moss
