Glad to see the worm farm is up and running. We really like the idea/concept of this particular design. Looking forward to seeing how it goes long term. You guys take care with the heat. X
Hi Carl, great video 😁 thanks for clearing those questions up, thats really helpful. Hope your coping ok with the heat, it can be pretty encompassing when you can't get any relief with some air con.
So interesting mate. With the frost issue, do you think you could manipulate the amount of browns and greens and create a small amount of heat from a standard hot composting process? Manure might be a great option. It might not even be possible or too technical. I do like your approach here though. I haven't started a worm farm because it seemed so technical and looked like too much time needed to be invested. I have much more conformed to your style of thinking here, so I'm keen to see how you get on
Thanks. I’m sure that the idea of heat management you suggest is possible but I’m not sure it would be possible to confidently manage through the whole of winter when we have almost 6 months where we could potentially get frosts but may not have any for weeks on end.
I think moisture is more important than food if you plan to go away for any length of time. Another channel to take a look at for worm farming is The Weedy Gardener.
@@SelfSufficientHub I've just had a look at London worms and garden as suggested by Lewis Gardener, lots of videos and different ways of keeping worms.
A good you tube channel to watch is London worms and garden, he tries all different foods and items in his bin, he experiments with then with different bedding ect ect his videos helped me to understand my worm farm a lot better
