Hi. I very much appreciate your channel. Thank you.
You are so welcome👍🏼🪱😁
That's really interesting about not needing to shred cardboard. I recently had really thick cardboard that wouldn't go through my shredder. I ended up putting on top of my direct compost trench outside that I started. I'll put thick cardboard in my bins in the future.
Yep, weird right? They are crafty little critters. I bet the mites and springtails help.🪱👍🏼😃
Luv to c yr projects especially d lasagna bin. U surely hv yr hands full with different projects dear. Gd luck n hp to c more of them. He he
Good thing I think it's fun and not.work. 😀
So far I have never had snails. 🐌 I watched your whole video. Take care. 😎
Thank you! Be glad about the snails. I swear they came from the aquarium rock i put in one of the bins one time.
@@PlantObsessed What do they eat inside the bin? I think I might have given you a RUclips idea. Take care.😎
The leaves only bin castings looked awesome, I think the experiment is good just not adding any grit to the bin.
😆 magic mushrooms 🍄
🤢 I caught a whiff of the moldy melon
Bunch of project bins 😆 the 🪱 in the cinnamon stick
Yeah the castings from leaves are really the black gold for sure. Blue has a fair amount of leaf bedding in it too.
A Face to go with the hands and voice 👍🏼
Yep, I do it very often but it's still me 😃👍🏼🪱
Worm in the cinnamon stick totally made me smile.
They are surprisingly cute little critters. 😍
WIU just started my worm farm this spring, been raising meal worms for a few years now for the frass but adding the red wigglers for the castings now that I have become plant obsessed too 😁
Exactly. Start for the worms stay for the plants.😃🪱👍🏼
Girl, did I have a snail INVASION 😳 it was unbelievable
I love your videos 😊
Thank you. I'm glad I'm not up to invasion. I have enough issues with other critters.
I ran a 10 gallon bin for a year with white paper only. The worms survived and thrived just as well as all my other bins. Worms don't seem to care what you give them, as long as it is something that is bio degradable, they have enough oxygen, and enough moisture.
yep, mine do the same. I don't have leaves year round. and coco coir is expensive.
For the "No grit," I agree with Hazel. You'd have to start over for a true side by side comparison.
I am collecting projects for the winter. This has made the list.
I really enjoy your videos. You make worm farming/feeding fun. I get lots of tips from you. Thanks
I do love to experiment on different ideas. Thanks for watching.
I think you should leave the no grit bin as it is. Maybe start yourself a compost/biochar bin.
I will have to look up biochar. That isn't something I'm familiar with. Sounds interesting.
Ya know I never hear the laundry lol
Only the dryer this time...he is more quiet. 😀
I've been wondering about that lasagna bin because I haven't seen it in a while. Looks good. "If worms have butts..." Lol
In the past it was it's own video. Lately it seems people like the longer videos so I have been doing the projects together.
Very interesting projects. The lasagna bin is of special interest to me as I do not have a means to shred cardboard. I use cardboard mostly as a cover.
Sometimes I swear they eat it faster than when it is shredded.
For the no grit bin it could be done side by side with a grit bin so your bedding but without grit and one with your normal bedding
And the same weight of worms see which does better for weight of worms after 6 months obviously with smaller bins
Good idea. I just bought some the AV style bus bins.
I totally get what you mean by enjoying the busy work! I checked in on all my bins today, although I fed them food a few days ago. I fluffed up the hungry bin and the middle where I fed was warm, so I spread it around. The towels were dry too, so I put a little worm chow on top, covered with towels and wet it down. I have about 10 gallons of harvested castings in my wheelbarrow in my garage. I have a large spinach container in the middle where I’ve been dropping bigger material, cocoons, worms. I keep mixing it and since I have a little plastic covering part of it, lots and lots of baby worms have been emerging, so I’m not gonna sift it for a while. When it gets a little dryer, I’ll put it in my buckets with vent holes and let them finish the castings since I’m not in need of them right now.
I just ordered the vermibag lil mammoth and hoping to get some African Nightcrawlers. I think I’ll put the massive amount of blue worms in it too, since they like it warm too. That will help me get down to less active bins, but bigger bins. I’ll still keep trays of near finished compost around cuz I prefer to separate it down into 75% and 90% finished, and will sift the top too.
Have you considered pulling out the dried up avocados and hard items and putting it through the blender to add to your dry worm chow? It would get those things out of your way a little faster, and I do think that the dry worm chow does help build their size up. I have have lots of ENC that are huge and fat and I try to keep them together so they breed up their size, verses mixing them with the smaller ENC, if I can help it.
I kind of like watching how.long the hard items take sort of naturally. I did have my titan project going to breed bigger ENC that was ended when the rat ate half of them. Now that I have the North East worms ENC maybe I can restart that
@@PlantObsessed I just bought a vermibag lil mammoth from someone commenting on yours or AV’s channel and waiting for delivery, so my plan is to get some African Nightcrawlers from Northeast worms! I can’t wait, and I plan on keeping that in the garage, so I can pop out anytime I want to play in it, lol. Whenever I get stressed, I go to my worm shed to decompress. Folding laundry settles me down late at night too. I’m embracing patterns of my behavior and understanding I don’t have to change everything, I just need to be mindful of what they are and why-and can use them to my advantage. I can’t always avoid stresses, but I can deal with it in a positive healthy way.
@@marlenen6130 it is totally worth it. I ordered mine for my Christmas present last year.
As for the no grit experiment....I highly doubt you supplied that bin with much, if any, grit via the addition of just leaves for bedding. It's still a good experiment in my opinion
Thank you! I think so too.
Hollyworms!! LOL I love it!!! Did Cecil B. Deworm produce this video? mix and match worm jamboree. School of hard knocks ... valedictorian.
Yes and yes Ann all wormy production company.
For the no grit bin. I don't think u have to start over. Just don't add any when u feed. Since it was only bedding and leaves or w.e it should be fine.
👍🏾
Interested in seeing what happens with that .
So far so good. Thanks.for watching 👀
I think the worms in the worm chow bin would get bigger if it was wetter? (But I'm saying that without knowing how wet it is.) I usually have to spray anything dry like flour with water to get moisture balance right.
I will hit it with some water when i feed and see if it helps. Thanks for the tip.
My Urban Worm Bag has become my finishing bin. All my overs go in there.
That is a good use for it. Do the castings mold in the deep part?
@@PlantObsessed no because there are still plenty of worms hatching from eggs etc. Plus I feed nitrogen occasionally to keep things active and harvest monthly. I've just left bottom zipper open to allow air flow through system and keep small ice cream bucket underneath in case of leachate or escapees.
@@ontherocksinthesoilmichael6739 I am learning that I need to leave a worm or 2 to keep it fresh or use it right away.
I’ve been watching ur videos and my question is, can I do this on a flower bed and just put cardboard on top of the soil and some food for the worms to munch it? I don’t have a basement like you but my surroundings have no shade except the tree outside near a flower bed and under the fruit trees outside facing southwest 😬 thanks Ann love this video
Yes, I have some worm feeding stations in my raised beds. It works well 😄👍🏼🪱
The lasagna bin is fascinating. Two questions: 1) I note that it is rather dry. Do you not add moisture at all? (other than from the spoiled melon) 2) Would soaking it like you do your shredded cardboard with the molasses, etc. to begin the breaking down process not be a good idea?
I'm thinking seriously about trying this as I don't have a shredder that will shred cardboard, nor is purchasing one a viable option at the moment. Cutting it up with scissors is tiresome, and I've noted shredded paper has not been working well in the bin I tried it.
Fair point about moisture. If you look at the Playlist you will see I often have a bucket of water I'll soak the cardboard in. The basement is so damp right now I don't dare.
Out of all of your bins which one is your favorite & why?
I will say 54 gallon Blue is my favorite. I think it is because I have more room to dig in.
Fabulous all your bins, so interesting :) Never thought before how many ways to raise worms in bins and indoors there could be. Just wondering, how do you keep fruit flies away from the moisted ones? You don't seem to have the problem. I'm dealing with an invasion even in my dry one and don't want to use dyatome (don't even know how to spell it). Thanks! I'm enjoying your videos :)
The spiders take care of the gnats. Moisture is a struggle all the time.
@@PlantObsessed I see, spiders... I have some long legs type here. They only eat little insects so they might help... I was considering moving my turtle nearer to the bins but she loooves fetching worms so that's not a good idea.
Yes, moisture levels... I think I'll plan my next bin regarding just that, instead of any other thing... I live in a cloud forest region so moisture is a big issue here... Thanks! Take care
Question.... can't u reuse yr leftovers into another worm bin in order to break down instead of keeping them separately?
Yes I could but im.weird and like to keep apart so I can see how long it takes to break down. Lol The peach pit has been there for 3 years. Still hard as a rock.
How do you get your avocado seeds to sprout so easily ? I haven't had any sprout yet 😬
I don't do anything. The worms do it all. I suspect some avacado pits are just dead already when I wack it open. Maybe some are not damaged so they grow.
@@PlantObsessed So, do you crack it open before adding it in ? I haven't seemed to notice that when you add them in.
Do you ever feed cinnamon or brewers yeast?
I have feed spent spices from making mulled wine and picking. I have fed spent wine must. I don't have any access to free brewers yeast. Have you used it?
will the Amazon packing tape in the lasagna bin get eaten - or do they just come loose and are picked out at some point? I spend an inordinate amount of time trying to get those labels & packing tape off boxes before I run them through the shredder :)
The paper tape and stickers will be eaten. I only pick off the cello tape. Some people have mentioned this is also able to be dissolved. I'm not quite ready to try that.
University of Idaho...
Cool. I have friend that was a math professor over there.
